How to use a Web Browser to 
manage your Device

Overview

A standard Web Browser (we recommend Netscape Navigator 
version 4.0 or later/Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later) 
can be used to manage your printer using the HTTP (Hyper Text 
Transfer Protocol). You can get the following information from a 
printer on your network using a web browser:

1

Printer status information.

2

Take control of the printer’s control panel.

3

Software version information of the printer and print server.

4

Change network and printer configuration details.

You must use the TCP/IP protocol on your network and have a valid 
IP address programmed into the print server and your computer. 

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, see Chapter 3 "Network factory default setting" 
on page 3-11 of the User's Guide. If the APIPA protocol is 
disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 
192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if 
applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software 
or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

2

Refer to chapter 10 of this user guide to learn how to configure 
the IP address on your printer.
