4 - 4 NETWORK PRINTING FROM WINDOWS ® (Peer to Peer)
NC9100h_FM6.0
For Windows
®
98/Me users
Overview
Microsoft's Windows ® 98/Me operating systems feature built-in
networking capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows ® PC to
be configured as a client workstation in a file server based network
environment.
For smaller networks, Windows ® 98/Me also allows the PC to
operate in a peer-to-peer mode. In this mode, the PC can share
resources with other PCs on the network without the need for a
central file server.
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 the 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.
2 See Assigning TCP/IP Information Automatically (Advanced) on
page 2-4 to learn how to configure the IP address on your
machine.
3 The default password for Brother Print/Scan server is access .
