Note

If you have edited the hosts file on your computer or are using Domain Name System, you can also enter the

DNS name of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, you can also enter

the NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in the printer settings page. The

NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node name and by default it will appear as

BRN_xxxxxx where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address.

When you click Next, Windows® 2000/XP will make a connection with the URL that you specified.

If the printer driver has already been installed:

If the appropriate printer driver is already installed on your PC, Windows® 2000/XP will automatically use that

driver for use. In this case, you will simply be asked if you wish to make the driver the default driver, after

which the Driver installation Wizard will complete. You are now ready to print.

If the printer driver has NOT been installed:

One of the benefits of the IPP printing protocol is that it establishes the model name of the printer when you

communicate with it. After successful communication you will see the model name of the printer

automatically. This means that you do not need to inform Windows® 2000 about the type of printer driver to

be used.

8

Click OK. You will then see the printer selection screen in the Add Printer Wizard.

9

If your printer is not in the list of supported printers, click the Have Disk button. You will then be asked

to insert the driver disk.

10

Click the Browse button and select the CD-ROM or network share that contains the appropriate Brother

printer driver.

11

Now specify the model name of the printer.

12

If the printer driver that you are installing does not have a Digital Certificate you will see a warning

message. Click Yes to continue with the installation. The Add Printer Wizard will then complete.

13

Click the Finish button and the printer is now configured and ready to print. To test the printer

connection, print a test page.
