A standard World Wide Web Browser (we recommend Netscape Navigator version

1.Supports several languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch.

2.Printer status information

3.Take control of the printer front panel

4.Software Version information of the printer and network card

You must use the TCP/IP protocol on your network and have a valid IP address programmed into the print server and computer.

Quick Tips:

1.The default IP address of Brother print servers is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the print front panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin utility, the printer front panel, or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

2.Refer to chapter 12 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP address on your printer.

3.The default password for Brother print servers is "access".

4.You can use a web browser on most computing platforms, for example, Macintosh and Unix users are also cable to connect to the printer and manage it.

5.You can also use the BRAdmin application to manage the printer and network configuration.
