Adding a Second NetBIOS Print Port

1. You do not need to re-run the installation program to add a new

NetBIOS port. Instead, press the Start button, select Settings, and open
the Printers windows. Click on the icon of the printer that you wish to
configure, select File from the Menu bar, and then choose Properties.

2. Click on the Details tab and push the Add Port button. In the Add Port

dialog, select the Other radio button and then highlight "Brother
NetBIOS port". Click OK and enter the port name. The default port
name is BNT1. If you have already used this name, you will get an error
message if you try to use it again, in which case use BNT2, etc… Once
you have specified the Port name, click the OK button. You will then see
the Port Properties Dialog. Enter the print server and port name of the
printer that you wish to print to and click OK. You should now see the
port that you have just created in the "Print to the following port" setting
of the printer driver.
