Quick Tips:

Macintosh Configuration (OS 8.5 - 9.2)

Your Brother Printer is compatible with the standard Apple LaserWriter 
8 printer driver (earlier versions of the LaserWriter drivers may crash 
or cause PostScript errors on large networks). If you do not have the 
LaserWriter 8 driver you must install it. Consult your Macintosh 
documentation for instructions on how to do this.

Before you try to use the Brother print server, you must first enable 
the EtherTalk protocol from the Network Control Panel on the 
Macintosh. If the EtherTalk protocol is not selected, or the Network 
Control Panel does not exist, you must use Apple's Network 
Installer software to add these capabilities.

The appropriate PPD file supplied with your printer must first be 
installed. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your

The default name that will appear in the Chooser of a 
Macintosh will usually be 

BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT

 (where

From a Macintosh network, the easiest way to change this name 
is to assign an IP address to the printer and then use a Web 
browser to change the name. Connect to the printer using a web 
browser and then click on Network Configuration. Enter the 
password (the default password is 

access

) then select 

Configure AppleTalk. Click on 

BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT

, 

then on Service Name. Enter the new name that you wish to 
appear in Chooser. Then click on Submit.

The default IP address of Brother print servers is

allocate an IP address to the printer.
