CHAPTER 5 BIP INTERNET PRINTING INSTALLATION 

5-7

 

 
To install the BIP software on a Windows 95/98/NT4.0/2000/XP PC, execute the 
following steps: 
 

•  Be sure that the PC is running an E-mail program (for example, 

Microsoft Outlook) that is capable of sending E-mail message using 
Winsock. 

•  Be sure that your E-mail server is capable of sending messages across 

the Internet. 

 

1.  Start the CD-ROM installation menu program according to the Quick 

Setup guide  

2.  Select the proper Model and Software Installation menu. Then select the 

Network Print Software menu to start the Brother Network Print 
Software installation program. 

3.  Push the Next button in response to the Welcome message. 
4.  Select the Brother Internet Print button. 
5.  Select the desired directory to install the BIP files and then push Next. 

The installation program will create the directory for you if it does not 
already exist. 

6.  You will then be asked for a port name. Enter the name of the port. The 

port name must begin with the BIP and end with a number, for example, 
BIP1. 

7.  You will then see a message about Partial E-mail Print. Partial E-mail 

Print is the ability of the Brother Internet Print software to break down 
E-mail Print jobs into smaller sections to prevent a mail file size 
limitation problem for mail server. 

8.  Press OK to continue. 
9.  You will then be asked to enter the port settings for the remote print 

server: 

 

Enter any unique legal Internet E-mail address for the remote print 
server (for example emailprinter@xyz.com). Note that Internet E-mail 
addresses cannot have spaces in them. 
 
Enter your E-mail address and the IP address of your SMTP E-mail 
server (consult your network administrator if you do not know this 
address). Also specify if you are going to use the Partial E-mail Print 
option and Notification type. 

 
10.  Press OK to continue. You will then be asked to re-start your computer.
