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 4.0 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 default IP address of Brother print servers is 

192.0.0.192

. To change it, use the printer’s control panel, the 

BRAdmin application, or let your DHCP server allocate an IP 
address to the printer.

2

Refer to chapter 12 of this user guide to learn how to configure 
the IP address on your printer.

3

The default password for Brother print servers is 

access

.

4

You can use a web browser on most computing platforms, for 
example, Macintosh and Unix users are also able to connect to 
the printer and manage it.
