Select the desired directory to install the Brother Peer-to-Peer Print (LPR) files and push Next. The
installation program will create the directory for you if it does not already exist on your disk.
8
Enter the Port name that you wish to use and click OK. The default port name is BLP1. Whichever name
you choose, it must be unique and it MUST begin with BLP.
9
You must now enter the actual IP address of the print server and the print server name. If you have edited
the hosts file on your computer or are using Domain Name System, you can also enter the DNS name
of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, you can also enter the
NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in the printer settings page. The
NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node name and by default it will appear as
BRN_xxxxxx
where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address.
Note
• The node name and the NetBIOS name is printed on the Printer Settings Page. To learn how to print
the Printer Settings Page, see Printing the Printer Settings Page on page 7-2.
• If you search the device using the search function in Step 8 above, disable the Personal Firewall
software if you are using it. Once you are sure that you can print, re-start your Personal Firewall
software.
