Adding a Second NetBIOS Print Port

You do not need to re-run the installation program to add a new

NetBIOS port. Instead, press the Start button, select Settings,

and open the Printers window. Click on the icon of the printer

that you wish to configure, select File from the menu bar, and

then choose Properties.

Click on the Details tab and push the Add Port button. In the

Add Port dialog, select the Other radio button and then

highlight Brother NetBIOS port. Click OK and enter the port

name. The default port name is BNT1. If you have already used

this name, you will get an error message if you try to use it again,

in which case use BNT2, etc... Once you have specified the port

name, click the OK button. You will then see the Port

Properties Dialog. Enter the Print/Fax server and port name of

the printer that you wish to print to and click OK. You should now

see the port that you have just created in the Print to the

following port setting of the printer driver.
