Macintosh Configuration Mac OS 8.6 | Brother MFC-8840DN specification

Quick Tips:

1 The default name that will appear in the Chooser of a Macintosh® will usually be BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT (where

xxxxxxis the last 6 digits of the Ethernet address)

2From a Macintosh® network, the easiest way to change this name is to assign an IP address to the printer and then use a Web browser to change the name. Connect to the machine using a web browser and then click on Network Configuration. Enter the password (the default password is access) then select Configure AppleTalk. Click on BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT, then on Service Name. Enter the new name that you wish to appear in Chooser. Then click on Submit.

3Mac OS® 8.6 or later supports TCP/IP printing.

4The default password for Brother print servers is access.

5To print a printer settings page, see Resetting the Print/ Fax Sever back to factory settings (Test Switch) on page 13-4.

6The 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.

Macintosh® Configuration (Mac OS® 8.6 - 9.2)

Your Brother Printer is compatible with the standard Apple LaserWriter 8 printer driver (earlier versions of the LaserWriter drivers may crash or cause PostScript errors on large networks). If you do not have the LaserWriter 8 driver you must install it. Consult your Macintosh documentation for instructions on how to do this.
