This chapter explains how to configure the PostScript driver on a 
Network. For more information on how to configure the default Quick 
Draw driver on a Network, see the Quick Setup Guide included with 
the machine.

Overview

Brother print servers support the AppleTalk protocol running over 
Ethernet (also known as EtherTalk). This allows Macintosh

®

 users to 

print at the same time as all other Ethernet network using the 
AppleTalk (also referred to as EtherTalk) protocol. 

With the release of System 8.6 or later, Apple introduced a TCP/IP 
printing capability. This allows Macintosh

®

 users to send print jobs 

using the TCP/IP protocol. 

With the release of OS/X 10.2, Apple

®

 introduced support for Simple 

Network Configuration capabilities. Simple Network Configuration 
supports automatic network configuration. If you choose to use the 
Simple Network Configuration of your product, you usually do not 
need to configure any IP address settings yourself.
