MaiLinx Remote Printing Help

MaiLinX Remote Printing enables you to print to one or more remote Xerox printers over the Internet directly from Windows applications. The print jobs are sent as email.

MaiLinX Remote Printing provides the following key features:

The ability to send print jobs to a group of printers.
Print services across firewalls and proxies.
Status reporting using email messages.

MaiLinX Remote Printing consists of two parts:

Client software installed on each user's workstation or personal computer enables users to send print jobs from Windows applications to Xerox printers over the Internet. The client software lets users set up their Internet-connected printers, and create groups and subgroups of printers for easy distribution of print jobs.
A MaiLinX Printing Server on a Xerox printer processes the print jobs from the clients.

System Requirements

The client software requires an SMTP-capable email server/forwarder through which the client software on your PC can send email.
Each printer requires an account on a POP3-capable email server from which it can retrieve email.

The SMTP fields on the Email Server Settings page are required if you want email responses sent back from the printer (such as error or job-tracing messages). The fields on the Email Server Settings page relate to the SMTP email server to which the printer (not the client PC) is connected. Because these messages are useful, you should provide values for these fields.

Note: You must install the client software on each PC that will send print jobs to remote printers.
