TCP/IP Printing

Printing from Windows

®

 NT, Windows

®

2000/XP, LAN Server and Warp Server

Overview

Users of Windows

®

 NT can print directly to a network-ready Brother 

printer using the TCP/IP protocol. Microsoft Windows

®

 NT users 

must install Microsoft's "TCP/IP printing" protocol. Windows

®

 2000/

XP users are able to send print jobs directly to the printer without 
installing any additional software. Brother's print server also supports 
transparent printing from IBM LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Server file 
servers, as well as from OS/2 Warp Connect workstations using the 
TCP/IP protocol. 

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.
