Protocols are the standardized set s of rules for transmitting data on a network. Protoc ols allow users to gain

access to network connected resources.

The print server used on this Brother pr oduct supports the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet

Protocol) protocols.

TCP/IP is the most popular set of protocols used for communication such as Internet and E-mail. This protocol

can be used in almost all operating systems such as Windows®, Macintosh® and Linux.

The following TCP/IP protocols are available on this Brother product.

Note

To use the DHCP/BOOTP/RARP protocols, please contact your network adm inistrator.

APIPA 1

If you do not assign an IP address manually (usin g the control panel of the machine or the BRAd min software)

or automatically (using a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server), the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)

protocol will automatically assign a n IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169. 254.254.255.
