Internet Printing
Internet Printing is available only on model EP3003 CheetahPrint Power-3003.
The Internet Printing System allows users to print data to your printer across the
Internet. Users send the Internet Print Server an E Mail, with the print job normally
sent as an attachment to the E Mail. The Print Server will retrieve the E Mail and
print it.
System Requirements

•
Accessibility. The Mail Server must be accessible by the intended clients or
