Using services

A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print to the Brother print server. The Brother print server provides the following predefined services (do a SHOW SERVICE command in the Brother print server remote console to see a list of available services): Enter HELP at the command prompt for a list of supported commands.

Service (Example)

Definition

BINARY_P1

TCP/IP binary

 

 

TEXT_P1

TCP/IP text service (adds carriage return after each line feed)

 

 

PCL_P1

PCL service (switches PJL-compatible printer to PCL mode)

 

 

BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx

TCP/IP binary

 

 

BRNxxxxxxxxxxxx_AT

PostScript® service for Macintosh

POSTSCRIPT_P1

PostScript® service (switches PJL-compatible printer to PostScript® mode)

Where "xxxxxxxxxxxx" is your machine's MAC Address (Ethernet Address).

Other ways to set the IP address (For advanced users and administrators)

For information on how to configure your machine for a network using the BRAdmin Light utility or Web Based Management (web browser), see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 13.

Using DHCP to configure the IP address

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have a DHCP server in your network, the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

Note

If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the Boot Method to static so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the Boot Method, use the machine’s control panel Network menu, BRAdmin applications or Web Based Management (web browser) .
