Overview 8
Windows® 2000/XP, Windows Vista™ and Windows Server® 2003 users can print using TCP/IP using the
standard Network Printing software and IPP protocol software built into any Windows® 2000/XP,
Windows Vista™ and Windows Server® 2003 installation.
Note
• You must configure the IP address on your printer before you proceed with this chapter. If you need to
configure the IP address, see Chapter 2 first.
• Verify the host computer and print server are either on the same subnet, or that the router is properly
configured to pass data between the two devices.
• The default password for Brother print servers is access.
• This print server also supports the IPPS printing, see Printing documents securely using
IPPS on page 129.

the DNS name of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS, 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
“BRNxxxxxx” where “xxxxxx” is the last six digits of the Ethernet address.
