I want to use a different Port number other than 631.

If you are using Port 631 for IPP printing, you may find that your firewall may not let the print data through. If 
this is the case, use a different port number (port 80), or configure your Firewall to allow Port 631 data 
through.
To send a print job using IPP to a printer using Port 80 (the standard HTTP port) enter the following when 
configuring your Windows

®

 and Windows Server

®

 2003 system.

http://ipaddress/ipp

The “Go to printer’s Web site” option in Windows

If you are using a URL of:

http://ipaddress:631

 or 

http://ipaddress:631/ipp

the 

Get More Info

 option in Windows

®

 2000/XP, Windows Vista

®

 and Windows Server

®

 2003 will not 

function. if you wish to use the 

Get More Info

 option, use the following URL:

http://ipaddress

This will then force Windows

®

 2000/XP, Windows Vista

®

 and Windows Server

®

 2003 to use Port 80 to 

communicate with the Brother print server.

Web Based Management (web browser) troubleshooting (TCP/IP)

a

If you cannot connect to the print server using your web browser it may be worth checking the Proxy 
Settings of your browser. Look in the Exceptions setting and if necessary, type in the IP address of the 
print server. This will stop your computer from trying to connect to your ISP or proxy server every time 
you wish to look at the print server.

b

Make sure that you are using the correct web browser, we recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0

®

(or greater) or Firefox

®

 1.0 (or greater) for Windows

®

 and Safari™ 1.0 for Macintosh

®

. Please also make 

sure that JavaScript and Cookies are always enabled in whichever browser you use. We recommend 
you upgrade to Safari™ 1.2 or greater to enable JavaScript. If a different web browser is used, make 
sure it is compatible with HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1.
