Internet Printing Installation

Overview

Brother's Brother Internet Print (BIP) software, for Windows® 95/98/ Me and Windows NT® 4.0, allows a PC user at one location to send a print job to a Brother Printer at a remote location via the Internet. For example, a user on a PC in New York could print a document directly from his Microsoft Excel application program to a printer in Paris.

Windows® 2000/XP users can also use this BIP software, but are recommended to use the IPP protocol support that is part of the Windows® 2000/XP operating systems. Skip to the “Windows® 2000 IPP Printing” section of this document.

Quick Tips:

1The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using the machine control panel. For more information, see APIPA on page 10-9.If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control panel, the BRAdmin Professional utility, Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the machine.

2To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see Chapter 11 of this User’s Guide.

3The default password for Brother Print/Fax servers is access.

4Windows® 2000/XP users can print using TCP/IP using the

standard Network Printing software and IPP protocol software built into any Windows® 2000/XP installation.
