CHAPTER FIVE

TCP/IP5Printing

Printing from Windows® NT® or Windows® 2000, LAN Server and Warp Server

Overview

Users of Windows® NT® can print directly to a network ready Brother MFC using the TCP/IP protocol. Microsoft Windows® NT® 3.5x and NT® 4.0 users must install Microsoft's "TCP/IP printing" protocol. Windows® 2000 users are able to send print jobs directly to the printer without installing any additional software.

Quick Tips:

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

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

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

4.Windows® NT® 3.51 and Windows® NT® 4.0 users must install the "Microsoft TCP/IP printing" protocol (available through the control panel applet).

5.Windows® 2000 users can print using TCP/IP using the standard

Network Printing software and IPP protocol software built into any Windows® 2000 installation.

6.Windows® 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP protocol via a Windows® 2000 computer providing that the Microsoft Internet Print

Services software is installed on the client PC, IIS is installed and running on the Windows® 2000 computer and that the client PC is using version 4 or later of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

7.The default name for a Brother Print / Fax server is usually

BRN_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address of the Print / Fax server).
