Principles of Operation for the TPC.INT Subdomain: Remote Printing - Administrative Policies

The remote printing facility allows a user to image documents on a remote printer, defined as a G3-compatible facsimile device connected to the public telephone network. The user sends electronic mail to an address which includes the phone number associated with the target G3-compatible facsimile device. Using the Domain Name System, the Internet message-handling infrastructure routes the message to a remote printer server, which provides access to devices within a specified range of the telephone system numbering plan. The message is imaged on the target remote printer and an acknowledgement is sent back to the initiator of the message.
