Automatic E-mail printing is used to download E-mail, receive mail at the selected
time and print it automatically. You can also set it to select the mail to be printed
automatically depending on the sender and the subject of the E-mail.
Search E-mail by sender and subject and then auto print
As soon as E-mail is received, the printer prints it automatically without your
having to start the print operation. You can also choose the mail you want to
print by having the printer search by sender and subject.
Auto access at the selected time
You can check incoming E-mail by accessing the server at pre-determined
times.
Several mail users can share a PC
Usually, it is difficult to share E-mail software between several people on one
PC. Automatic E-mail Printing supports multiple users, so several people can
use E-mail software on one PC.
