Internet Printing Installation

Overview

Brother's Brother Internet Print (BIP ) software, for Windows® 95/98/Me/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 operating systems. Skip to the “Windows® 2000 IPP Printing” section of this document.

Quick Tips:

1.The default IP address of Brother Print / Fax servers is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the FAX/MFC’s front panel , the BRAdmin application, or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

2.Refer to chapter 1 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP address on your printer.

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

4.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.

5.Windows® 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP protocol via Windows® 2000/XP computer providing that the Microsoft Internet Print Services software is installed on the client PC, IIS is installed and running on the server and that the client PC is using version 4 or later of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
