Receiving E-mail Data on the Mail Server and Printing (E-mail Print)
E-mail print is a function in which this printer receives e-mails sent from the host terminal and prints the text as well as the attached files. Therefore, you do not need to use a printer driver or open the attached files to print.
Available Protocol
Requirements
POP3
The UIDL command of the POP3 protocol needs to be supported. You can access the mail server but cannot receive e-mails in the following circumstances. For details on the mail server, ask your network administrator.
The UIDL command is not supported
The response to the UIDL command is negative ("-ERR")

For other settings and the setting procedures, see How to Specify the Settings for E-mail Print and specify them as needed.
You can set e-mail print settings from the printer control panel, Remote UI or FTP client.
You can receive and print e-mails manually. There are two types of manual printing methods: printing from the printer control panel and printing from the Remote UI.
You can print the e-mail sending/receiving history. You can print the subject and sender in sending/receiving history. There are two ways of printing e-mail sending/receiving history: from the printer control panel and from the Remote UI.
If for some reason an email does not print normally, an error message is displayed on the printer display or Remote UI and network status print, or an error code is displayed in the e-mail sending/receiving history. Take action according to the displayed error messages and error codes.
IMPORTANT
Restrictions for E-mail Print
Attached files are printable only when they are in TIFF or JPEG format.
The number of attached files has to be 14 or less for each mail. If the number exceeds 14, the first 14 files are printed. However, the files of the 15th or later are not printed.
E-mail text in HTML format are not printed.
E-mail text is printed with its mail header information.
If the number of characters in one text line (without a line break) in an e-mail exceeds 998, an automatic linefeed is performed. Because of this, the text in the next line may not be printed properly.
JPEG data is in compliance with the specifications of ITU-T recommendation T.81.
On e-mail print with this printer, JPEG data is in compliance with the specifications of ITU-T recommendation T.81. TIFF data is in compliance with the specifications of Adobe TIFF Revision6.0 and IETF RFC2301 (File Format for Internet FAX).
