Internet Printing Installation

Overview

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

®

 95/98/

Me/NT4.0, 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, 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.

The default password for Brother print servers is 

access
