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.

Network Configuration. Enter the password (the 
default password is

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.
