Network print software installation problems

The Brother print server is not found during setup of the network print software installation 
or from the printer driver of the Brother machine in Windows

®

.

The Brother print server is not found using the Simple Network Configuration capabilities of 
Mac OS

®

 X.

(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. 

(For a wireless network)
Make sure you have completed the IP address setting and wireless network settings of the Brother print 
server according to 

Chapter 3

 of this User’s Guide before installing the network print software or printer driver.

Check the following:

1

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

2

Check to see if the LCD 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.

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

 on page 4-20.

Try pinging the print server from the host operating system command prompt with the command:

ping ipaddress

Where 

ipaddress

 is the print server IP address (note that in some instances it can take up to two 

minutes for the print server to load its IP address after setting the IP address).
