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 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.

To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see

Chapter 11 of this User’s Guide.

The default password for Brother Print/Fax 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.
