7.6 Checking Printer Status via E-mail
When the printer is on a network environment that supports e-mail, it can be configured to
send e-mail to notify the computer that requests a print job that the job printing is finished. It
also can be configured to send e-mail about the status of consumables, paper, and other
items to a specified mail address.
This feature is called the “e-mail notification service”.
