Overview

Brother's Brother Internet Print (BIP) software, for Windows

®

 95/98/

Me and Windows NT

®

 4.0, allows a PC user at one location to send 

a print job to a Brother Printer at a remote location via the Internet. 
For example, a user on a PC in New York could print a document 
directly from his Microsoft Excel application program to a printer in 
Paris.

Windows

®

 2000/XP users can also use this BIP software, but are 

recommended to use the IPP protocol support that is part of the 
Windows

®

 2000/XP operating systems. Skip to the “Windows

®

 2000 

IPP Printing” section of this document.

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 the machine control 
panel. For more information, see APIPA on page 10-9. If the 
APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother 
Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control 
panel, the BRAdmin Professional utility, Web BRAdmin 
software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the 
machine.

To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see 
Chapter 11 of this User’s Guide.
