For a network with an Ethernet cable connection
Make sure you have completed the IP address setting of the Brother print server according to Chapter 2 
of this User’s Guide before installing the network print software or printer driver.

Check the following:

a

Make sure that the machine is powered on, is on-line and ready to print.

b

Check to see if the LCD momentarily displays 

LAN Active

 after being connected to the network.

The LCD displays 

LAN Active

: The print server is connected to the network.

The LCD does not display LAN Active: The print server is not connected to the network.

c

Print the Network Configuration List and check if the settings such as IP address settings are correct for 
your network. The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP address. Verify that the IP 
address is correctly loaded into the print server. And make sure that no other nodes on the network have 
this IP address. For information on how to print the Network Configuration List, see 

Printing the Network 

Configuration List
