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 machine must first be 
installed. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your 
computer. Select the Start Here icon, select your language and 
follow the on-screen instructions for Install Software.

Once the Print/Fax server is connected on your network and the 
machine is powered on, the Brother print server’s AppleTalk service 
name (default is 

BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT

, where 

xxxxxx

digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address) should appear in the 
Chooser. 

You can find the service name and MAC address by printing 
out the configuration page. For information on how to print 
the configuration page on your print server, see Resetting the 
Print/Fax Sever back to factory settings (Test Switch) on 
page 13-4.
