E-mailing traces
Before you begin
Note:
1. TCP/IP ethernet must be installed and enabled before you can use e-mail trace.
See the Planning and Configuration Guide for information about configuring this
protocol.
2. Before you can e-mail your saved trace data, the printer must be correctly
configured to send e-mails. Configure the printer to use e-mail using the
Remote Access - E-mail panel (Printer Definition → Network → Remote Access
→ E-mail). You must also specify a customer SMTP mail server for the SMTP
Server Hostname option. See the Planning and Configuration Guide for
information about configuring the printer to send e-mails.
3. Traces affect both printers when you are printing in duplex mode. In dual
simplex mode, all trace actions apply only to that printer.
