attachment and prints it out on the printer. As a configurable option, the remote print server can send an E-mail message back to notify the sending PC that the job was successfully printed.

The remote print server must be running Version 3.38 or later firmware. This firmware is available at no charge on the TROY XCD web site (http://www.troyxcd.com directory). PrintraNet is supported by all TROY XCD print servers except the XConnect II Lite and XJet III.

A new feature of PrintraNet is its Address Book capability. This capability allows the Windows user to have a pre- defined list of remote printers. A print job can be sent to any of these remote printers by simply clicking on the appropriate address book entry. In addition, groups of remote printers can be defined, so that a single print job can be sent to multiple printers.

Another new feature of PrintraNet is direct E-mail printing. This feature allows ordinary text E-mail messages to be sent to the print server and then printed out on the printer. No special software (other than an E-mail program) is required on the sending computer.

This chapter covers the following topics:

•Installation of the PrintraNet software on a Windows 95/ 98/NT PC at the local site

•Enabling the PrintraNet capability on the TROY XCD print server at the remote site.

The manual assumes that you have already installed the TROY XCD print server at the remote site with a valid IP address per the instructions in the appropriate print server
