Computer Network Basics
Overview
The network-connected Brother machine allows multiple computers
to carry out several independent print jobs on one machine.
To use the Brother machine through a network, you need to select a
protocol, configure the Print / Fax Server, and set up the computers
you use.
■ Protocol selection and Print / Fax Server configuration
If a Brother machine has been already connected to a
network, please check the current protocol. In this case,
you don't need to configure the Print / Fax Server.
■ Print / Fax Server
Print / Fax Server activates the network functions built-in
the Brother machine.
Protocols
Protocols are the standardized sets of rules for transmitting data on
a network. Protocols allow the users to gain access to the network-
connected resources.
■ TCP/IP
This is the most popular set of protocols used for communication
such as Internet and E-mail. This protocol can be used in almost
all the operation systems such as Windows®, Macintosh® and
Linux.
TCP/IP is suited to a large-scale network and is widely used for
company networks.
TCP/IP is also widely used as the print protocol. The Brother
machine can use the TCP/IP-based protocols such as LPR and
NetBIOS Name Resolution.

Protocol Configuration Items
TCP/IP Configuration
• IP Address
• Gateway (when routers exist on your network)
■ IP Address
An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each computer
connected to the Internet. An IP address consists of four numbers
separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255. You must
allocate a unique IP address that is correct for the attached
network.
Example) In a small network, set the IP addresses by changing
the final number.
192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3
■ Subnet mask
Subnet masks restrict network communication and an example of
one follows...
- 255.255.0.0
Example) PC1 can talk to PC2
PC1 IP Address
Subnet Mask
193. 1.

■ Gateway (and Router)
A Gateway is the transfer device that passes data between
networks. A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to
another network and sends data transmitted via the network to an
exact destination. The router knows where to direct data that
arrives at the gateway. If a destination is located at an external
network, the router transmits data to the external network. If your
network communicates with other networks, you may need to
configure the Gateway IP address. If you do not know the Gateway
IP address then contact your Network Administrator.
Node name
Node name appears in current BRAdmin Professional or
Printer configuration page. Default Node name is
"BRN_xxxxxx" ("xxxxxx" is the last six digits of Ethernet
address.)

TCP/IP Configuration
2
Assigning TCP/IP Information (Basic)
Overview
The TCP/IP protocol requires that each device on the network have
it's own unique IP address. Use the following information to learn
about IP address configuration.
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 control panel. For more information see page 2-
8. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a
Brother Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192.
However, you can easily change this IP address number to match
with the IP address details of your network. This can be done in any
of the following ways:
■ From your machine’s control panel settings.
■ BRAdmin Professional utility (for Windows® 98/Me and Windows®
2000/XP).
■ DHCP, APIPA, Reverse ARP (rarp) or BOOTP.
■ Other SNMP based management utilities.
These configuration methods are described in the following paragraphs.
The IP address you assign to the Print/Fax server must be on
the same logical network as your host computers. If it is not,
you must properly configure the subnet mask and the router
(gateway). (See page 1-2 for more details)
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 2 - 1
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Using the machine’s control panel to allocate
an IP address
Refer to chapter 3 for details on how to configure IP address
information using the machine’s control panel. By using the control
panel on the machine, you can program the IP address details at the
same time that other machine parameters are configured.
Changing the IP Address using the BRAdmin
Professional utility
Please use the BRAdmin Professional utility version that was
supplied on the CD-ROM with your Brother product.
You can also download the latest Brother BRAdmin
Professional utility version from http://solutions.brother.com.
This utility is only available for Windows® users.
Start the BRAdmin Professional utility (from Windows® 98/Me and
Windows® 2000/XP), by clicking Start / Programs / Brother
Administrator Utilities / Brother BRAdmin Professional Utilities
/ BRAdmin Professional.
The BRAdmin Professional utility can use the TCP/IP protocols to
communicate with the Brother Print/Fax server.
If you wish to use the TCP/IP protocol to manage the Print/Fax server
make sure that the print server has a valid IP address. If you are not
using DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you will want to change the IP
address.This is how to change the IP address using the BRAdmin
Professional utility:
■ Use the TCP/IP protocol and let BRAdmin Professional utility find
the Brother print server as an unconfigured device.

Select the Devices menu and choose Setup Unconfigured
Devices.
Select the MAC address of your Print/Fax server and click the
Configure button.
You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the
machine configuration page. Refer to this Guide chapter 3 for
information on how to print the configuration page on your Print/Fax
server.
5
Enter the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway (if needed)
of your Print/Fax server.

TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 2 - 3
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Assigning TCP/IP Information
Automatically (Advanced)
Using DHCP to Configure the IP address
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several
automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have DHCP
Server in your network (typically a Unix/Linux or Windows® 2000, XP
network) the Print/Fax server will automatically obtains its IP address
from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and
1002-compliant dynamic name services.
If you do not want your Print/Fax server configured via
DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT METHOD
to static so that the Print/Fax server has a static IP address.
This will prevent the Print/Fax server from trying to obtain an
IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT
METHOD, use the machine’s control panel or by using the
BRAdmin Professional utility.
Using APIPA to Configure the IP Address
With Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA), DHCP clients
automatically configure an IP address and subnet mask when a
DHCP server is not available. The device chooses it's own IP
address in the range 169.254.1.0 through to 169.254.254.255. The
subnet mask is automatically set to 255.255.0.0 and the gateway
address is set to 0.0.0.0.
By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled.
2 - 4 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Using RARP to Configure the IP Address
The Brother Print/Fax server’s IP address can be configured using
the Reverse ARP (rarp) facility on your host computer. This is done
by editing the /etc/ethersfile (if this file does not exist, you can
create it) with an entry similar to the following:
00:80:77:31:01:07 BRN_310107
Where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the Print/Fax server
and the second entry is the name of the Print/Fax server (the name
must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hostsfile).
If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the
system the command can be rarpd, rarpd -a, in.rarpd -a
or something else; type man rarpdor refer to your system
documentation for additional information). To verify that the rarp
daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX-based system, type the
following command:
ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type:
ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
The Brother Print/Fax server will get the IP address from the rarp
daemon when the printer is powered on.
Using BOOTP to Configure the IP Address
BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing
configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. In order to use
BOOTP to configure the IP address make sure that BOOTP is
installed and running on your host computer (it should appear in the
/etc/servicesfile on your host as a real service; type man
bootpdor refer to your system documentation for information).
BOOTP is usually started up via the /etc/inetd.conffile, so you
may need to enable it by removing the “#” in front of the bootp entry
in that file. For example, a typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file
would be:
#bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -i
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 2 - 5
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Depending on the system, this entry might be called “bootps” instead
of “bootp”.
In order to enable BOOTP, simply use an editor to delete the
“#” (if there is no “#”, then BOOTP is already enabled). Then
edit the BOOTP configuration file (usually /etc/bootptab) and
enter the name, network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet
address and the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the
Print/Fax server. Unfortunately, the exact format for doing
this is not standardized, so you will need to refer to your
system documentation to determine how to enter this
information (many UNIX systems also have template
examples in the bootptab file that you can use for reference).
Some examples of typical /etc/bootptab entries include:
BRN_310107 1 00:80:77:31:01:07 192.189.207.3
and:
BRN_310107:ht=ethernet:ha=008077310107:\
ip=192.189.207.3:
Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to
BOOTP requests if you have not included a download filename in the
configuration file; if this is the case, simply create a null file on the host
and specify the name of this file and its path in the configuration file.
As with rarp, the Print/Fax server will load its IP address from the
BOOTP server when the machine is powered on.

machine will scan for a BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is
available, and it is configured correctly, the machine will take its IP
address from the BOOTP server. After it is initially powered ON, it
may take a few minutes for the machine to scan the network for a
server.

RARP mode
Brother Print / Fax server IP address can be configured using the
Reverse ARP (RARP) facility on your host computer. This is done by
editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can create it)
with an entry similar to the following:
00:80:77:31:01:07 BRN_310107
Where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the Print / Fax server
and the second entry is the name of the Print / Fax server (the name
must be the same as the one you put in the /etc/hosts file).
If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the
system the command can be rarpd, rarpd -a, in.rarpd -a or something
else; type man rarpd or refer to your system documentation for
additional information). To verify that the rarp daemon is running on
a Berkeley UNIX-based system, type the following command:
ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type:
ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd
The Brother Print / Fax server will get the IP address from the rarp
daemon when it is powered on.
BOOTP mode
BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing
configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. In order to use
BOOTP to configure the IP address make sure that BOOTP is
installed and running on your host computer (it should appear in the
/etc/services file on your host as a real service; type man bootpd or
refer to your system documentation for information). BOOTP is
usually started up via the /etc/inetd.conf file, so you may need to
enable it by removing the “#” in front of the bootp entry in that file. For
example, a typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file would be:
#bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -i
Depending on the system, this entry might be called “bootps”
instead of “bootp”.

In order to enable BOOTP, simply use an editor to delete the “#” (if
there is no “#”, then BOOTP is already enabled). Then edit the
BOOTP configuration file (usually /etc/bootptab) and enter the name,
network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet address and the IP address,
subnet mask and gateway of the Print / Fax server. Unfortunately,
the exact format for doing this is not standardized, so you will need
to refer to your system documentation to determine how to enter this
information (many UNIX systems also have template examples in
the bootptab file that you can use for reference). Some examples of
typical /etc/bootptab entries include:
BRN_310107 1 00:80:77:31:01:07 192.189.207.3
and:
BRN_310107:ht=ethernet:ha=008077310107:\
ip=192.189.207.3:
Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to
BOOTP requests if you have not included a download filename in the
configuration file; if this is the case, simply create a null file on the
host and specify the name of this file and its path in the configuration
file.
As with rarp, the Print / Fax server will load its IP address from the
BOOTP server when the printer is powered on.
DHCP mode
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several
automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have DHCP
Server in your network (typically a Unix, Windows® 2000/XP
network) the Print / Fax server will automatically obtains its IP
address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001
and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.
If you do not want your Print / Fax server configured via
DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the Boot Method to
Static, this will prevent the Print / Fax server from trying to
obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change
the Boot Method, you can use the front panel or the BRAdmin
application.

IP Address
This field displays the current IP address of the machine. If you have
selected a BOOT Method of Static, enter the IP address that you
wish to assign to the machine (check with your network manager for
the IP address to use). If you have selected a method other than
Static, the machine will attempt to determine its IP address using the
DHCP or BOOTP protocols. The default IP address of your machine
will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme
of your network. We recommend that you contact your network
manager for an IP address for the network the unit will be connected
on.

For Windows® 2000/XP, LAN Server
and Warp Server users
Overview
Windows® 2000/XP users are able to send print jobs directly to the
printer without installing any additional software. Brother's print
server also supports transparent printing from IBM LAN Server and
OS/2 Warp Server file servers, as well as from OS/2 Warp Connect
workstations using the TCP/IP protocol.
Quick Tips:
1
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 control panel. For more
information see page 2-8. 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 machine’s control panel, the BRAdmin
Professional utility software or let your DHCP server allocate an
IP address to the printer.

3
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.

The default name for a Brother Print/Fax server is usually
BRN_xxxxxx(where xxxxxxis the last six digits of the
Ethernet address of the Print/Fax server).

Overview
Internet Faxing (I-FAX) allows you to send and receive FAX
documents using the Internet as the transport mechanism.
Documents are transmitted in E-mail messages as attached TIFF-F
or JPEG files. This means that PC's are also able to receive and
send documents, providing that the PC has as an application that
can generate and view TIFF-F or JPEG files, you can use Microsoft®
Imaging or a TIFF-F or JPEG viewer application. Any documents
sent via the machine will automatically be converted into a TIFF-F or
JPEG format. If you wish to send and receive messages to and from
your machine, your mail application on the PC must be able to
support the MIME format.

Receiving E-mail or Internet Fax
There are 2 ways you can receive E-mail messages:
■ POP3 receiving at regular intervals
■ POP3 receiving (manually initiated)
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals SearchIANndTDEoRwnNloEadT. FAX 6 - 5
Using POP3 receiving the machine must poll the E-mail server to
receive the print jobs. This polling can occur at set intervals (for
example, you can configure the machine to poll the E-mail server at
10 minute intervals) or you can manually poll the server by pressing
the Shift (MFC-3320CN) or Search/Speed Dial (MFC-
3820CN) + Black Start or Color Start (US)/Mono Start or
Colour Start (UK) button.
If your machine starts to receive E-mail print jobs, the LCD panel will
reflect this activity. For example, you will see Receivingon the
LCD panel followed by “xx E-mail(s)”. If you press the Shift (MFC-
3320CN) or Search/Speed Dial (MFC-3820CN) + Black Start
or Color Start (US)/Mono Start or Colour Start (UK) buttons
to manually poll the E-mail server for E-mail print jobs. If there are no
mail documents waiting to be printed, the machine will display No
Mailon the LCD panel for two seconds.
If your machine is out of paper when receiving data, the received
data will be held in the machine's memory. This data will be printed
automatically after paper is re-inserted into the machine. (For
European, Asian and Oceanian machines, Memory receive must be
switched “ON”.)
If the received mail is not in a plain text format or an attached file is
not in the TIFF-F or JPEG format, the following error message will be
printed: “ATTACHED FILE FORMAT NOT SUPPORTED. FILE
NAME:XXXXXX.doc” If the received mail is too large, the following
error message will be printed: “E-MAIL FILE TOO LARGE.” If “Del
Error Mail” is “ON” (default) then error mail is automatically deleted
from the E-mail Server.
Receiving an Internet Fax to a PC
When a PC receives an Internet Fax document, the document is
attached to a mail message that informs the PC that it is
receiving a document from an Internet Fax. This is notified in
the Subject field of the received mail message.

If the PC to which you wish to send a document is not running
Windows® 98/98SE/Me or Windows® 2000/XP operating system,
please inform the PC's owner that software must be downloaded for
documents in the TIFF-F or JPEG format to be viewed.
You can use “ Microsoft® Imaging” that is supplied with Windows®
98/Me or Windows® 2000/XP.
Forwarding Received E-mail and Fax Messages
You can forward received E-mail or standard fax messages to
another E-mail address or fax machine. Received messages can be
forwarded via E-mail to a PC or Internet Fax. They can also be
forwarded via standard phone lines to another machine.
Please see your machine’s User’s Guide to check that this feature is
supported. This function is not available for color fax documents.
This can be done through the front panel. The steps for configuring
Fax Forward can be found in the User’s Guide supplied with your
machine.
Relay Broadcasting
This function allows the Brother machine to receive a document over
the Internet, and then relay it to other fax machines through
conventional telephone lines.
If you wish to use your machine as a relay broadcast device, you
must specify the domain name that you trust at the machine, in other
words, the portion of the domain after the ‘@’ sign.
A trusted domain refers to the E-mail address. For example, if the
other party’s address is [email protected], then we identify the
domain as brother.com. If the E-mail address is [email protected],
then we identify the domain as brother.co.uk.
Use carefully in selecting a trusted domain since any user on a
trusted domain will be able to send a Relay Broadcast. You can
register up to 5 domain names.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals SearchIANndTDEoRwnNloEadT. FAX 6 - 7
Relay Broadcast can support the relay of a document up to a
maximum of 48 fax machines through conventional telephone lines.
If you try to send a document to over 49 machines, the following error
message will be printed: “Relay Error”.
Relay Broadcasting does not support the relay of color files

TX Verification Mail
Transmission Verification Mail supports two separate functions.
Verification Mail for sending allows you request notification from the
receiving station that the I-Fax or E-mail was received and
processed. Verification Mail for receiving allows you to transmit a
default report back to the sending station after successfully receiving
and processing an I-Fax or E-mail.
To use this feature you must set the “Notification” option within the
“Setup Mail RX” and “Setup Mail TX” options.

Setup Mail (TX)
You can set the “Notification” option in the “Setup Mail TX” option to
either On or Off. When switched to On an additional field of
information is sent with the image data. This field is named “MDN”.
MDN
Mail Disposition Notification - This field requests the status of the I-
Fax / E-mail message after delivery through the SMTP (send mail
transfer protocol) transport system. Once the message has arrived
at the Receiving station this data is used when the machine or user
reads or prints the received I-Fax or E-mail. For example, if the
message is opened for reading or is printed the receiving station
sends back a notification to the original sending machine or user.
The receiving station must support the MDN field in order to be able
to send a notification report, otherwise the request will be ignored.
Setup Mail (RX)
There are three possible settings for this option On/MDN/Off.
Receive Notification “On”
When switched to “On” a fixed message is sent back to the sending
station to indicate successful reception and processing of the
message. These fixed messages depend on the operation requested
by the sending station.
Report messages consist of
SUCCESS : Received From <mail address>
Receive Notification “MDN”
When switched to “MDN” a report as described above is sent back to
the sending station if the originating station sent the “MDN” field to
request confirmation.
Receive Notification “Off”
Off - Switches all forms of receive notification Off, no messages are
send back to the sending station regardless of the request.

Error mail
If there is a mail delivery error while sending an Internet Fax, the mail
server will send an error message back to the machine and the error
message will be printed. If there is an error while receiving mail, an
error message will be printed (Example: “The message being sent to
the machine was not in a TIFF-F or JPEG format.”).
Important information on Internet Fax
Internet Fax Communication on a LAN system is basically the same
as communication via E-mail; however, it is different from Fax
communication using standard phone lines. The following is
important information for using Internet Fax:
■ Factors such as the receiver’s location, structure of the LAN
system, and how busy the network is, may cause the system to
take a long time to send back an error mail. (normally 20 sec to 30
sec).
■ In the case of transmission through the Internet, due to its low level
of security, we recommend that you use standard phone lines to
send confidential documents.
■ If the receiver’s mail system is not compatible with the MIME
format, you cannot transmit a document to the receiver.
Depending on receiver’s server, there may be some cases in
which the error mail will not be sent back.
■ If the size of a document’s image data is huge, there is a possibility
of unsuccessful transmission.
■ You cannot change font and character size of Internet mail that
you received.

Internet Printing Installation
Overview
Our Brother Internet Print (BIP) software, for Windows® 98/Me,
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.
Quick Tips:
1
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 control panel. For more
information see page 2-8. 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 machine’s control panel, the BRAdmin
Professional utility software or let your DHCP server allocate an
IP address to the machine.
2
Refer to chapter 2 of this user guide to learn how to configure
the IP address on your machine.

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.
7 - 1 CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS®
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Brother Internet Print General Information
The BIP software is installed using a standard Windows® 98/Me/
2000/XP Installation Wizard. It creates a virtual port on the
Windows® 98/Me/2000/XP PC that operates in a similar way to the
standard LPT1 printer port from the application program point of
view. The user can use the Windows® 98/Me/2000/XP Print Manager
to create a printer that uses this port along with a standard Windows®
98/Me, 2000/XP-compatible machine. Any Windows® 98/Me/2000/
XP applications program can therefore print to this machine (and
hence to the virtual port) without modification or operational
procedure.
When a job is printed to the BIP virtual port, it is actually MIME-
encoded (converted to a standard Internet E-mail message) and sent
out to a Brother Print/Fax server at the remote location. This means
that BIP is compatible with most common E-mail software packages.
The only requirement is that the E-mail server be capable of sending
E-mail message over the Internet.
In more detail, the procedure works in the following way:
■ If you are connected to a Local Area Network, the E-mail message
is passed to the E-mail server, which in turn transmits the
message out over the Internet using the SMTP protocol (Simple
Mail Transport Protocol) to the remote Print/Fax server.
■ If you are connecting via a modem directly to an Internet Service
Provider (ISP), the ISP handles the routing of the E-mail to the
remote Print/Fax server.
■ At the remote site, an E-mail server receives the E-mail message.
The remote Print/Fax server, which has its own E-mail address,
uses the POP3 protocol (Post Office Protocol 3) to download the
E-mail message from the E-mail server. It then decodes the
attachment and prints it out on the machine.
If an E-mail is received that has not been configured to use
the BIP virtual port driver, the machine will print the E-mail
out as a text document.

Configuring the Brother Print/Fax Server
The Print/Fax server can be configured using BRAdmin Professional
utility.
Print Server Configuration Checklist
Before configuring the print server to receive BIP jobs, be
sure that the E-mail server at the remote site (the receiving
end) is configured to handle the TCP/IP POP3, and SMTP
protocols (SMTP is only required if the notification feature is
enabled).
1
2
Configure the POP3 server on the E-mail server at the remote
site with a mail account (Mailbox name) and password for the
Brother Print/Fax server (generally, the mail account name will
be the first part of the Email address; for example, if you assign
the E-mail address [email protected], then the mail
account name would be emailprinter).
Make sure that the Print/Fax server is installed and running with
TCP/IP enabled and has a valid IP address assigned to it.
Because access to the E-mail server on most networks is usually
restricted, you may need to have your network administrator check
the configuration and add the mail account.

If the configuration page prints but you cannot print documents,
try the following
If none of the following steps are successful, there is almost
certainly a hardware or network problem!
a
If you are using TCP/IP:
Try pinging the Print/Fax server from the host operating
system command prompt with the command:
ping ipaddress
Where ipaddressis the Print/Fax server IP address (note
that in some instances it can take up to two minutes for the
Print/Fax server to load its IP address after setting the IP
address). If a successful response is received, then proceed
to the Windows®98/Me Peer to Peer (LPR) or Internet Printing
troubleshooting section. Otherwise, proceed to step 3, and
then go to TCP/IP Troubleshooting section.
b
If you are running Macintosh:
If you are using the Quick Draw driver make sure that you can
see the Print/Fax server name under the Brother Ink (IP) icon
in the Chooser. If it is visible, then the connection is good, so
proceed to the Macintosh Section. Otherwise, go to step 3.
If you use the Rendezvous function, please visit the Brother

If you cannot make any of the connections in step 2, check the
following:
a
Make sure the machine is powered on and on-line.
b
Check the cabling, network connection, and print out a
configuration page in the Network STATISTICS information to
see if bytes are being transmitted and received.
If you are using a repeater or hub, make sure that SQE
(heartbeat) is turned off at the hub (if applicable). Also, if you
have a hub or multi-port repeater, verify that the hub or repeater
port is good by trying the Print/Fax server on a different port or
on the other hub or multi-port repeater.

If you have a bridge or router located between the Print/Fax
server and host computer, make sure that the device is set up
to allow the Print/Fax server to send and receive data from the
host. For example, a bridge can be set up to only allow certain
types of Ethernet addresses to pass through (a process known
as filtering); therefore, such a bridge must be configured to allow
Brother Print/Fax server addresses. Likewise, a router can be
set up to pass only certain protocols, so be sure that the desired
protocol can be passed through to the Print/Fax server.
Intermittent Problems
If the Print/Fax server and machine start up OK, but you intermittently
have problems printing, check the following:
1
If you can print small jobs but large graphics jobs are distorted
or incomplete, make sure that you have adequate memory in
your machine and the latest printer driver installed on your
computer. The latest Brother printer drivers can be downloaded
2
Check the individual protocol troubleshooting sections in this
chapter for additional causes of intermittent printer problems.
TCP/IP Troubleshooting
If you are using TCP/IP and cannot print to the print server and you
have checked the hardware and network as described in the
previous steps, then check the following:
It is always a good idea to try following in order to eliminate
the possibility of setup errors.
Turning off the machine and then on again,
Deleting and recreating the Print/Fax server and creating a new print
queue in order to eliminate the possibility of setup errors.

The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP
address. Verify that the IP address is correctly loaded into the
Print/Fax server (via the configuration page. Make sure that no
other nodes on the network have this address (DUPLICATE IP
ADDRESS ARE THE BIGGEST CAUSE OF TCP/IP PRINTING
PROBLEMS).
2
3
Make sure that the TCP/IP protocol of the print server is
enabled.
If you used rarp, make sure that you started the rarp daemon on
any workstation using the rarpd, rarpd-a, or equivalent
command. Verify that the /etc/ethersfile contains the
correct Ethernet address and that the Print/Fax server name
matches the name in the /etc/hostsfile.
4
5
If you used bootp, make sure that you started the bootp daemon
on any UNIX workstation and bootp is enabled (i.e., the “#” is
removed from the bootp entry) in the /etc/bootptabfile is
correctly configured.
Also verify that host computer and the Print/Fax server are
either on the same subnet, otherwise that the router is properly
configured to pass data between the two devices.
Windows® 98/Me Peer to Peer Print (LPR)
Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble printing on a Windows® 98/Me Peer-to-Peer
network (LPR method), check the following:
1
2
Make sure that the Brother LPR Port driver is correctly installed
and configured according to the “TCP/IP Printing” on page 4-5.
Try to turn the Byte Count on in the Configure port area of
printer driver properties.
You may find that during the installation of BLP software, the screen
that prompts you for a Port name is not displayed. This may happen
on some Windows® 98/Me computers. Press the ALT and TAB keys
to make it appear.

Brother Internet Print (TCP/IP) Troubleshooting
1
The first step in troubleshooting is to make sure that you have a
valid E-mail connection on both the sending PC and the
receiving Print/Fax server. Try sending an E-mail message from
the PC to a user at the remote site who can receive mail via the
POP3 server. If this does not work, there may be an E-mail
configuration problem on the PC, on the local E-mail server, or
on the remote POP3 server. Double check to make sure that the
E-mail parameters that you configured on the PC and on the
remote Print/Fax server match those that are configured on the
E-mail servers.
2
3
If you can print small files OK but are having problems printing
large files, the problem may be in the E-mail system! Some
E-mail systems have difficulties printing large files. If the file
does not reach its destination intact, then the problem is with
the E-mail system.
You can also enable the partial E-mail print facility on your client
PC, this will split the E-mail up into fragments which should then
not overwhelm your E-mail server. To do this, select the
property dialog of the Brother Internet Print Port.

Internet Fax Troubleshooting
1
If there is a mail delivery error while sending an Internet Fax, the
mail server will send an error message back to the machine and
the error message will be printed. If there is an error while
receiving mail, an error message is printed (Ex. The message
being sent to the machine was not in a TIFF-F or JPEG format.)
All documents transmitted to the machine via E-mail must be in
a TIFF-F or JPEG format.
2
3
If an error message is printed while receiving E-mail text from a
PC “ATTACHED FILE FORMAT NOT SUPPORTED” the
senders mail application may not be set for a “Plain Text” format
or “Vcard” the virtual business card feature may be set to ON.
If the receiver’s mail system is not compatible with the MIME
format, you cannot transmit a document to the receiver.
Depending on the receiver's server, there are some cases that
the error mail will not be sent back.
4
5
Messages cannot be received in an HTML format. This format
is not supported. All messages must be received in a TIFF-F or
JPEG Format.
If the size of a documents image data is huge, there is a
possibility of unsuccessful transmission if the system
administrator has imposed a limit on the maximum size of E-
mails and their attachments. The document you are sending
should be separated into smaller documents that will be
accepted by the mail server. (Ex. A 42 page document of the
CCITT#1 test chart is approximately 1Mbyte in size).
6
7
If you do not receive E-mail, check the Auto Polling setting and
Polling frequency.
If you cannot retrieve mail from the mail server, check the
settings for the POP3 server and Mailbox name. Check that the
POP3 password is entered correctly. This setting is case
sensitive.
8
If Relay Broadcast is not forwarding E-mail to a G3 Fax, check
the Relay Broadcast settings and Relay Domain registration. A
Relay Domain must be entered for this function to work.

9
The Relay Broadcasting and Broadcasting features cannot be
used at the same time.
10 Relay Broadcast can support the relay of a document up to a
maximum of 48 fax machines through conventional telephone
lines. If sending to more than 48 locations the sender must
divide the transmission locations into 48 locations or less for
each relay broadcast.
11 When receiving E-mail messages from the POP3 server, the
machine can receive a maximum of 32 mail messages. If there
are more than 32 mail messages in the POP3 server, the
machine will receive a maximum of 32 mail massages and then
receive the remaining after the next polling interval.
12 The Print / Fax Server requires a portion of the user memory for
operation. The number of Fax sheets that can be sent or
received will be reduced (by approximately 30 pages of the
brother No1 Test Chart) from the standard machine capacity.

Printing Software
(USA/Canada only)
Overview
Depending on your network configuration and application
requirements for sending faxes via a network, you can choose
between Brother Network PC FAX Software or Brother Internet Fax
Printing Software. With either software, viewable document such as
web pages, word documents, PDF documents can be sent from the
users desktop to any standard Facsimile machines, Internet fax
machines and E-mail addresses.
Brother Internet Fax Printing Software (BFP) is a Windows® 98/Me
and Windows® 2000/XP software utility that gives network PC Fax
and Internet Fax functionality from the desktop to users on your
network or over the Internet.
BFP utilizes SMTP as the transport for sending documents from your
PC. This allows any PC supported by a SMTP mail server to send an
Internet FAX even if that PC does not have direct access to the
networked machine.
Brother Network PC Fax Software utilizes LPR as the transport for
sending documents from your PC to the networked machine for
transmission. This requires that the sending PC has access to the
network that the sending machine is connected.

Relay Broadcast Function
Before you can successfully use this machine as a network fax
solution you need to switch the feature “Relay Broadcasting” ON at
the machine. In addition you also need to set a “Trusted Domain” at
the machine.
DownBloaRdOfroTmHWEwRw.SIoNmTanEuRalsN.cEomT. AFllAMXanuPalRs SINeaTrcIhNAGnd DSoOwnFloTadW. ARE 9 - 5
In order for the machine to receive data and then send this
information (network fax) to other fax machines the “Relay Broadcast
Function” must be switched “ON”. Also you must tell the networked
machine which networks can relay faxes through your machine. This
is known as setting the “Trusted Domain”. For instance, if a network
machine has an E-mail address of [email protected] and users of
this machine also have E-mail addresses with the same domain
name then the machine must be told to allow these users to send
network faxes through the machine. This is known as the “Relay
Function” and “Trusted Domains”. So we set the trusted domain as
brother.com.
“Trusted Domains” Provide security for your machine. In that
only users from a particular domain can send faxes through
your network connected machine.

Reloading the Print / FAX Server
Firmware
General
The firmware on the Print/Fax server is stored in flash memory. This
means that you can upgrade the firmware by downloading the
appropriate update file. To get the latest firmware update, visit the
Brother Solutions web site at http://solutions.brother.com/
Some software versions that we provide will automatically
factory reset your Print/Fax server parameters. We try to
avoid doing this. However, if we add a significant new feature
to our Print/Fax server, it can result in the Print/Fax server
being factory reset.
Because of this, we STRONGLY recommend that you make a note
of the current Print/Fax server configuration before you upgrade. To
do this, print out a configuration page (Refer to this User’s Guide
chapter 3 for information on how to print a configuration page).
There are three methods of upgrading the firmware in your Brother
Print/Fax server:
