Printing for Windows®

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:

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol

automatically assigns an IP address from the range:

169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If the APIPA protocol is

disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is

192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if

applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software

or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

Refer to chapter 10 of this User’s Guide to learn how to

configure the IP address on your printer.

The default password for Brother print servers is access.

Windows® 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.
