PhaserLink Printing Software Overview 
 
Understanding PhaserLink Printing Software 
fundamental concepts
 
It is beyond the scope of this manual to explain in detail how to install email servers.  
You can refer to your operating system’s documentation and your email 
application’s documentation for further details.  However, this section does supply 
the fundamental concepts of email communication between client PCs and remote 
printers, so you can properly install and configure PhaserLink Printing Software.
 
Clients and servers 
 
The first concept you should understand is client versus server.  The following table 
explains this concept in both general terms and in terms of PhaserLink Printing 
Software.
 
Email servers  
 
Email servers receive email from and send email to clients.  When the email moves 
from client to server or vice versa, the email is transferred using a particular protocol 
that defines how the message is handled.  For PhaserLink Printing Software, you 
need to have email servers that support two email protocols:
 
 
SMTP protocol
 
:  SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.  This 
protocol is used for email communication over the Internet and for email 
from clients to server.         
 
 
POP3 protocol
 
:  POP3 stands for version 3 of the Post Office Protocol.  This 
protocol is used for email communication from server to clients.

It is possible for one email server to support both the SMTP and POP3 email 
protocols.
 
In most cases, POP3 email servers have a password associated with them that 
enables you to control who can send email through that server.  You’ll need to know 
this password before you can configure a printer to be used with PhaserLink 
Printing Software.
If you need more information on these email protocols, or information on where to 
obtain SMTP and POP3 email servers for your operating system, contact your 
System Administrator or operating system vendor.
