Reloading the Print Server Firmware

General

The firmware on the print server is stored in flash memory. This 
means that you can upgrade the firmware by downloading the 
appropriate update file. To get the latest firmware update, visit the 
Brother Solutions web site at http://solutions.brother.com/

Because of this, we STRONGLY recommend that you make a note 
of the current print server configuration before you upgrade. To do 
this, print out a configuration page (refer to your Quick Setup Guide 
for information on how to print a configuration page).

There are three methods of upgrading the firmware in your Brother 
print server:

1

Use the BRAdmin application (Recommended)

2

Use the FTP protocol (Recommended if running on 
Macintosh

®

 or Unix network)

3

Use another system (such as a Novell or Unix system to send 
the new firmware file to the print server).

Some software versions that we provide will automatically 
factory reset your print server parameters. We try to avoid 
doing this. However, if we add a significant new feature to our 
print server, it can result in the print server being factory 
reset.
