Quick Tips:

Macintosh Configuration (OS 8.5 - 9.2)

Your Brother Printer is compatible with the standard Apple LaserWriter
8 printer driver (earlier versions of the LaserWriter drivers may crash
or cause PostScript errors on large networks). If you do not have the
LaserWriter 8 driver you must install it. Consult your Macintosh
documentation for instructions on how to do this.

Before you try to use the Brother print server, you must first enable
the EtherTalk protocol from the Network Control Panel on the
Macintosh. If the EtherTalk protocol is not selected, or the Network
Control Panel
does not exist, you must use Apple's Network
Installer
software to add these capabilities.

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 (the default password is

access

Configure AppleTalk. Click on

appear in Chooser. Then click on Submit.
