CHAPTER SEVEN
AppleTalk (EtherTalk)
TCP/IP Printing
Printing From a Macintosh
Overview
Brother print server's support the AppleTalk protocol running over Ethernet (also
known as EtherTalk). This allows Macintosh users to print at the same time as all
other Ethernet network using the AppleTalk (also referred to as EtherTalk)
protocol.
With the release of System 8.6 or later, Apple introduced a TCP/IP printing
capability. This allows Macintosh users to send print jobs using the TCP/IP
protocol.
Quick Tips:
1. The default name that will appear in the Chooser of a Macintosh will
usually be BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT (where xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of
the Ethernet address)
2. From a Macintosh network, the easiest way to change this name is to
assign an IP address to the printer and then use a Web browser to change
the name. Connect to the printer using a web browser and then click on
"Network Configuration" enter the password, then select "Configure
AppleTalk", Click "BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT", then on Service Name, enter
the new name that you wish to appear in Chooser. Then click on
"Submit".
3. System 8.6 or later supports TCP/IP printing.
4. The default password for Brother print servers is "access".
5. One way to print that details all network settings is to print a
configuration page, press the TEST button on the back of the print server.
6. The default IP address of Brother print servers is 192.0.0.192. To change
it, use the printer control panel, the BRAdmin application, or let your
DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.
