How to Printing using NetBIOS on Windows® 95/98/Me/NT®/2000

Overview

Brother's Print / Fax server range supports SMB (Server Message Block) over the TCP/IP protocol via the NetBIOS interface. This means that just like regular Windows® PC’s, Brother printers can appear in your network neighborhood. The main advantage of NetBIOS printing is that you are able to print from legacy DOS applications that are running on PC’s that are connected to Microsoft networks.

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 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 login names are “user” for users and “admin” for administrators and the default password for Brother Print / Fax servers is "access".

4.The default domain name of the Print / Fax server is WORKGROUP, to change it use your web browser or the BRAdmin application.
