Overview

Windows

®

2000/XP users are able to send print jobs directly to the

printer without installing any additional software. Brother's print
server also supports transparent printing from IBM LAN Server and
OS/2 Warp Server file servers, as well as from OS/2 Warp Connect
workstations using the TCP/IP protocol.

Quick Tips:

1

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol
automatically assigns an IP address from the range:
169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the
APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using control panel. (See
APIPA on page 3-14) If th
e APIPA protocol is disabled, the
default IP address of a Brother Print/Scan server is 192.0.0.192.
To change it, use the machine’s control panel, the BRAdmin
Professional utility software or let your DHCP server allocate an
IP address to the printer.
