2 2TCP/IP Printing

Printing from Windows NT® 4.0, Windows® 2000/XP, LAN Server and Warp Server

Overview

Users of Windows NT® 4.0 can print directly to a network-ready Brother machine using the TCP/IP protocol. Microsoft Windows NT® 4.0 users must install Microsoft’s “TCP/IP Printing“ protocol. Windows® 2000/XP users are able to send print jobs directly to the printer without installing any additional software. Brother's print server also supports transparent printing from IBM LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Server file servers, as well as from OS/2 Warp Connect workstations using the TCP/IP protocol.

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.

2The default password for Brother Print/Fax servers is access.
