10.5.2 Operation
The printer is connected to the mail server and checks for new e-mail at the specified mail check
interval. If e-mail for the printer exists in the mail server, the printer receives it. When the
received mail includes file attachments and the file subjects do not include “PRTDATA:” or
“PRTPOOL:”, the printer reconstructs the attached files and executes them as commands. If the
file subject includes “PRTDATA:” or “PRTPOOL:”, attached files are stored as print jobs. If there
are no file attachments, the printer recognizes the mail itself as a command, and executes it. For
storing print jobs, see section 10.6.
NOTES: 1. Some mailers automatically enter line feed codes in the message text of mail.
However, if line feed codes are entered in the command descriptions, the command
will not be executed properly.
2. Three encoding methods for file attachments are supported: Base64,
QuotedPrintable, and 7-bit.
3. When printing is performed according to a print request by e-mail, “{|}” should be
used as the control code, because some mailers automatically delete null data
([NUL] of [ESC] [LF] [NUL]).
4. If “HTML” is selected for the mail sending format on a mailer, the printer is not
properly operated.
5. When printing is performed or a print job is stored by sending e-mail with file
attachments, a temporary file is created on the ATA card. Therefore, the ATA card
requires 4-times larger free space than the file size to be sent. If the ATA card
does not have enough free space, the printer does not receive e-mail. The e-mail
is not deleted from the mail server, but remains there.
