Precautions When Using Mail Print
Security Precautions
E-mail uses the Internet, a network connecting computers around the world, as its transmission
medium. Because of this, exchanging e-mails involves security risks such as information leakage
and tampering.
Use of a method that is more secure than e-mail is recommended whenever exchanging
important or confidential information. To prevent unwanted e-mails, do not give out your e-mail
address unless necessary.
Setting IP Filter by Domains
The printer can be programmed to receive e-mails only from particular domains.
For more information on setting IP Filter by domains, refer to the online help for CentreWare
Internet Services.
Precautions When Connecting the Printer with an Internet Provider
• If your Internet provider does not bill you at a flat rate, or if you do not have full-time access
to the Internet, you will be charged every time the printer retrieves data from the e-mail server.
• Make sure to connect the printer in an IP masked environment. Proper operation is not
guaranteed when the printer is connected to the Internet with a global IP address assigned.
• When enabling POP access, make sure to create a unique e-mail account for the printer. Using
a shared e-mail account can cause problems.
• It may take time to receive graphics and other large data when Internet speed is slow.
• Some providers also support SMTP reception. Use of SMTP requires detailed setup with your
provider.
• When connecting the printer to an Internet environment where MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) is
running in a private segment, configure settings according to your operating needs.
