Printing from Unix/Linux Using TCP/IP  
Overview  
Brother Print/Fax servers are supplied with the Transmission Control  
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. Since virtually all  
UNIX host computers support TCP/IP, this capability allows a printer  
to be shared on a UNIX Ethernet network. As with all protocols,  
TCP/IP communications can proceed concurrently while other  
protocols are active, this means that UNIX, NetWare, Apple, and  
other computers can share the same Brother print server over an  
Ethernet network.  
The Linux operating system uses the same setup procedures as  
standard Berkeley UNIX systems. Refer to this chapter for a typical  
GUI based Linux installation.  
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 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.  
2
To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see  
Chapter 11 of this User’s Guide.  
3
4
The default password for Brother Print/Fax servers is access.  
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).

5
When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to  
the service names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1.  
TCP/IP  
Brother Print/Fax servers appear to the network as a UNIX host  
computer with a unique IP address running the lpd (line printer  
daemon) protocol. As a result, any host computer that supports the  
Berkeley remote LPR command can spool jobs to Brother print  
servers without the need for any special software on the host  
computer. For special applications, raw TCP ports are also available.  
Brother Print/Fax servers also support the FTP protocol. This  
protocol can be used to send print jobs from Unix systems.  
The Brother Print/Fax server is pre-configured to run on a TCP/IP  
network with a minimum of setup. The only mandatory configuration  
of the Print/Fax server is the allocation of an IP address, which can  
be either automatically assigned using DHCP, BOOTP etc., or  
manually assigned using the ARP command, BRAdmin Professional  
utility, or the machine control panel.  
For setting the IP address of the Print/Fax server, see  
Chapter 11 of this user guide or the Quick Setup Guide  
General TCP/IP UNIX Host Configuration  
The configuration process for most UNIX systems is described in the  
following steps. As this process varies, we recommend that you refer  
to your system documentation for additional information.  
1
Configure the /etc/hostsfile on each UNIX host that needs  
to communicate with the Print/Fax server. Use your favorite  
editor to add an entry to the /etc/hostsfile containing the IP  
address and node name of the device. For example:  
192.189.207.3  
BRN_310107  
1 - 2 UNIXDPowRnIloNaTd fIrNomGWww.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
                 
The actual format of the entry may vary depending on your system,  
check your system documentation and also note the format of other  
entries in the /etc/hostsfile.  
The node name in this file does not necessarily need to be  
the same as the one that is actually configured into the  
Brother Print/Fax server (the name that appears on the  
printer configuration page), however, it is good practice to  
make the names the same. Some operating systems, such  
as HP-UX, do not accept the “_” character in the default  
name, for these systems you must use a different name).  
In any case, the node name in the /etc/hostsfile must match the  
node name in the /etc/printcapfile.  
Some systems such as HP-UX and AIX allow you to enter the IP  
address as the host name when setting up the print queue. If this is  
the case, you do not need to configure the hosts file.  
2
Choose which Print/Fax server service you want to use. There  
are several types of services available on Brother Print/Fax  
servers. Binary services pass data through unmodified and are  
therefore required for PCL or PostScript rasterized graphics  
printouts. Text services add a carriage return at the end of each  
line for proper formatting of UNIX text files (which end in linefeed  
and do not have carriage returns). The text service can also be  
used for non-rasterized graphics, such as ASCII PostScript  
graphics or many types of PCL graphics.  
Choose one of the available services (a service name will be  
used in step 3):  
BINARY_P1 Binary data  
TEXT_P1  
Text data (CR added)  
You may set up multiple print queues on your UNIX host  
computer for the same Print/Fax server, each one with a  
different service name (for example, one queue for binary  
graphics jobs and one for text jobs).  
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 3

3
Configure the /etc/printcapfile on each host computer to  
called remote machine or rm), and the Print/Fax server service  
name (also called remote printer, remote queue, or rp), and the  
spool directory.  
This step applies to the majority of UNIX systems, including  
Linux, Sun OS (but not Solaris 2.xx), Silicon Graphics (lpr/lpd  
option required), DEC ULTRIX, DEC OSF/1, and Digital  
UNIX. SCO UNIX users should follow these steps, but should  
also see SCO UNIX Configuration on page 1-10. Users of  
RS/6000 AIX, HP-UX, Sun Solaris 2.xx, and other systems  
that do not use the printcap file should skip to Step 4. SCO  
user's should also skip to Step 4 (SCO uses the printcap file,  
but this file is automatically configured via the rlpconf  
command).  
An example of a typical printcap file:  
laser1|Printer on Floor 1:\  
:lp=:\  
:rm=BRN_310107:\  
:rp=TEXT_P1:\  
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/laser1:  
Make sure this information is added to the end of the printcap  
file. Also make sure that the last character in the printcap file  
is a colon “:”.  
This will create a queue named laser1 on the host computer  
that communicates to a Brother print server with a node  
name (rm) of BRN_310107 and a service name (rp) of  
TEXT_P1 printing text files to a Brother printer through spool  
directory /usr/spool/lpd/laser1. If you are printing  
binary graphics files, you would use the service BINARY_P1  
instead of TEXT_P1.  
1 - 4 UNIXDPowRnIloNaTd fIrNomGWww.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
The rm and rp options are not available on some UNIX  
systems, so if necessary check your documentation to  
determine the equivalent options.  
Users of Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems can use the lpc  
command to obtain the printer status:  
%lpc status  
laser1:  
queuing is enabled  
printing is enabled  
no entries  
no daemon present  
Users of AT&T-compatible UNIX systems can generally use  
the lpstat or rlpstat commands to obtain similar status  
information. Because this procedure varies from system to  
system, refer to your system documentation for the exact  
usage.  
4
Skip this section if you have completed Step 3, unless you have  
an SCO UNIX system.  
If you have an HP-UX system, IBM RS/6000 AIX computer, or Sun  
Solaris 2.xx, there is no printcap file. This is also true for some other  
AT&T-based UNIX systems, as well as many VMS-based TCP/IP  
software packages (for example, UCX, TGV Multinet, etc.). On SCO  
systems, there is a printcap file, but it is automatically configured by  
the rlpconf command. Most of these systems generally use a printer  
setup program to define the service name (remote printer), the print  
server name (remote machine) or IP address, and the local queue  
name (spool directory). Refer to the appropriate section depending  
on your version of Unix.

Linux Configuration  
If you do not wish to use the command line interface to configure your  
Linux distribution, you may wish to use the Linux Printer System  
Manager application on your GUI. To do this, do the following:  
1
2
From the Linux Printer System Manager screen, click the Add  
button.  
You will now be asked to specify which Printer type you are  
using, select the Remote Unix (lpd) Queue option and click  
OK.  
3
4
You must now specify the remote host name, remote queue  
name and the input filter to use.  
The Remote Host name is the IP address of the printer, or the  
name from the hosts file which corresponds to the IP address of  
the printer.  
5
The Remote Queue name is the service name that the printer  
will use when processing the data. Generally we recommend  
that you use the name “BINARY_P1”, however, if you are  
planning to send text documents that do not have a carriage  
return and a line feed, then use “TEXT_P1”.  
6
Select the appropriate Input Filter from the list of available  
printers on your particular build of Linux.  
In order to make your settings work, select the Restart lpd option.  
As soon as the lpd server restarts, you will be able to send printed  
documents from your server.  
Linux Configuration Using CUPS  
Many Linux systems support Common Unix Printing System  
(CUPS).

HP-UX Configuration  
In the case of HP-UX10.xx, the sam program is used to set up the  
remote printer. The steps are as follows:  
1
Execute the sam program. From the list of options, select  
Printers and Plotters.  
2
3
4
5
Select LP Spooler.  
Select Printers and Plotters.  
Select Actions and then Add Remote Printer/Plotter.  
Enter any name as the Printer Name (this will be the name of  
the print queue).  
6
7
Enter the IP address of the Print/Fax server as the Remote  
System Name.  
Enter the desired Print/Fax server service name as the Remote  
Printer Name.  
8
9
Check the box next to Remote Printer is on BSD system.  
You may accept the default values for the remaining items.  
10 Click OK to configure the printer.  
You should now be able to print using the lp-d command with the  
printer name.  
If you are using the HP distributed print service, the configuration  
procedure is slightly different because you are sending the print jobs  
to a file server, which in turn spools the job to the Print/Fax server.  
You must therefore know the name of the file server (spooler host) in  
addition to the above information. You will add a physical and a  
remote printer, and then assign a logical printer to the remote printer  
(a unique name that does not match any other name). To print, use  
the lp -d command with the logical printer name.

Earlier versions of HP-UX use similar procedures to 10.xx users:  
1
2
Enter sam and select Peripheral Devices and then Add  
Remote Printer (not Networked printer).  
Enter the following remote printer settings (the other settings do  
not matter):  
Line printer name (user-selectable).  
Remote system name (the Print/Fax server name; must  
match what is in hosts file or use Print/Fax server IP  
address).  
Remote printer queue (Print server binary or text service  
name, e.g. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1).  
Remote Printer is on a BSD System (Yes).  
IBM RS/6000 AIX Configuration  
The RS/6000 AIX operating system uses the smit program to set up  
the remote printer. The procedure is as follows for AIX 4.0 and later:

If this is the first printer configured, you must also use the lpsched  
command prior to the acceptcommand.  
As an alternative, you may use Printer Manager in the Admintool  
utility under OpenWindows. Select Edit, Add, and Add Access to  
Remote Printer. Then enter the Print/Fax server name in the format  
prnservername!\prnserverserviceas described above.  
Make sure that the printer server OS is set to BSD (the default  
setting), and click Add.  
Note that we recommend that you use the /etc/hostsfile for the  
printer name rather than NIS or other name services. Also note that  
due to a bug in the Sun lpd implementation on Solaris 2.4 and earlier  
releases, you may experience problems printing very long print jobs.  
If this is the case, a workaround is to use the raw TCP port software  
as described later in this chapter.

CRTOUTQ OUTQ(<queuename> RMSTSYS  
(*INTNETADR) RMTPRTQ(<service>)  
AUTOSTRWTR(1) CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE (*OTHER)  
MFRTYPMDL (<driver>)  
INTNETADR('<ipaddress>') TEXT  
('<description>')  
where <queuename>is the new AS/400 print queue name,  
<service>is the Print/Fax server service name (BINARY_P1 or  
TEXT_P1) <driver>is the OS/400 printer driver name (*HP4 is  
recommended if in doubt), and <ipaddress>is the IP address of  
the Print/Fax server. Note that the IP address and description must  
be enclosed in single quotes.  
Other Systems  
Other systems use similar programs to set up Print/Fax servers.  
These programs will generally ask for the following information:  
Requested information:  
remote printer  
You should use:  
Binary or Text service name  
remote host computer name  
Any name (must match the  
name in the printcap file, if any)  
or in some cases, you may enter  
the Print/Fax server IP address  
here  
remote host IP address  
IP address of Print/Fax server.  
Technical support specialists for these companies can usually  
answer configuration questions if you provide them with the  
equivalent UNIX configuration information (tell them that the Print/  
Fax server looks like a remote UNIX host computer running the lpd  
line printer daemon).

If you have not created a spool directory for the Brother Print/Fax  
server on your UNIX host computer, you will need to do so now (the  
printer setup utilities in HP/UX, AIX, Solaris 2.xx, and other systems  
will automatically create the spool directory). The lpd spool directory  
is usually located in the /usr/spooldirectory (check with your  
system manager to see if the location is different for your system). To  
create a new spool directory, use the mkdircommand. For  
example, to create a spool directory for the queue laser1, you would  
enter:  
mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/laser1  
On some systems it is also necessary to start the daemon. This is  
done on Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems with the lpc start  
command as shown in the following example:  
lpc start laser1

Printing from Windows NT®4.0,  
Windows® 2000/XP, LAN Server and  
Warp Server  
Overview  
Users of Windows NT®4.0 can print directly to a network-ready  
Brother machine using the TCP/IP protocol. Microsoft Windows  
NT®4.0 users must install Microsoft’s “TCP/IP Printing“ protocol.  
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 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.  
2
3
The default password for Brother Print/Fax servers is access.  
Windows NT®4.0 users must install the Microsoft “TCP/IP  
Printing“ protocol.  
4
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.

Windows® 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP  
protocol via a Windows® 2000/XP computer provided that the  
Microsoft Internet Print Services software is installed on the  
client PC, IIS is installed and running on the Windows® 2000/XP  
computer and that the client PC is using version 4 or later of  
Microsoft Internet Explorer. For more information, see  
Windows® 2000/XP IPP Printing on page 5-9.  
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).  
Windows NT®4.0 and Windows® 2000/XP (TCP/IP)  
Configuration  
If you have not already done so, install the TCP/IP protocol onto your  
Windows NT®4.0 system. This is done via the Network icon in the  
Control Panel window of the Windows NT®4.0 system (use the  
Start button on Windows NT®4.0 to access the Settings/Control  
Panel menu). The default configuration of Windows® 2000/XP  
automatically installs the TCP/IP protocol. Refer to the appropriate  
section in this chapter for more information.  
Windows® 2000/XP Printing  
(Printer Driver not yet installed)  
By default, Windows® 2000/XP systems install with all the necessary  
software required for you to be able to print. This chapter describes  
the two most commonly used configurations, Standard TCP/IP Port  
printing and IPP (Internet Printing Protocol). If you have already  
installed the printer driver, jump to the printer driver already  
installed section.

How to Print in a Windows® 95/98/Me  
Peer to Peer network  
Overview  
Microsoft's Windows® 95/98/Me operating systems feature built-in  
networking capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows® PC to  
be configured as a client workstation in a file server based network  
environment.  
For smaller networks, Windows® 95/98/Me also allows the PC to  
operate in a peer-to-peer mode. In this mode, the PC can share  
resources with other PCs on the network without the need for a  
central file server.  
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

Driver Deployment Wizard  
This installer includes the Windows® PCL driver and Brother network  
port driver (LPR and NetBIOS).  
If the administrator then installs the printer driver and port driver  
using this software, he can save the file to the File server or send the  
file in E-mail to users. Then, each user just clicks that file to have the  
printer driver, port driver, IP address, and so on, automatically copied  
to their PC.  
For more information, see the Driver Deployment Wizard User’s  
Guide on the CD-ROM.  
Our Peer to Peer printing software requires the TCP/IP protocol to be  
installed on your Windows® peer-to-peer computers and an IP  
Address has to be defined for the Print/Fax server. Refer to your  
Windows® documentation for more information on how to configure  
the TCP/IP protocol on your Windows® PC.  
If you haven't already done so, configure the IP address of the

Overview  
Brother 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.

Print Server Configuration  
In order for this function to work, you must correctly change the  
DOMAIN name or WORKGROUP name to match that of your  
network. Once this is done, the Print/Fax server will appear  
automatically in your network neighborhood and you will be able to  
send print documents to it without having to install additional  
software. However, in some instances you may find that your  
Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 systems may  
receive “Printer is busy” error messages when more than one person  
attempts to access the printer. In this instance Brother has provided  
the “Brother NetBIOS Port Monitor” software which allows users to  
continue spooling print jobs while the printer is busy, down or out of  
paper. The port monitor will hold the jobs until the printer is again  
available.  
When you install Windows® 95/98/Me you are asked which  
workgroup you belong to. The default workgroup name for Windows®  
95/98/Me is WORKGROUP, however you could change this to anything  
you want. With WindowsNT®4.0, Microsoft introduced the concept of  
“Domains”. A domain offers centralized security management  
whereas a workgroup offers distributed security management. The  
Print/Fax server does not care if your network consists of a  
Workgroup or a Domain, the only thing you must tell it is the name of  
the workgroup or domain. The Brother Print/Fax server automatically  
has a default workgroup/domain name of WORKGROUP. If you need to  
change name, you can configure the Brother print server to  
recognize this. There are three ways of doing this. (If you are unsure  
about the name of your workgroup or domain, look in the  
identification tab in your network applet).  
Use BRAdmin Professional utility (This utility can use the TCP/IP  
protocol or Netware IPX protocol - no file server necessary.)  
Use a Web browser (the Print/Fax server must have a valid IP  
address and your computer must also have a valid IP address);  
you can configure the IP address by using BRAdmin Professional  
utility.  
Use front panel on the machine. For more information, see  
Chapter 10 of this user guide.

Because of the way that Microsoft networks work, the Print/  
Fax server may take several minutes to appear in the  
network neighborhood. You will also find that the Print/Fax  
server may take several minutes to disappear from the  
network neighborhood even if the printer is switched off. This  
is a feature of Microsoft workgroup and domain based  
networks.  
Changing the workgroup/domain name using a  
web browser  
You can change the workgroup/domain name using BRAdmin  
Professional utility. To do this press NetBIOS tab and then enter your  
workgroup/domain name into the Domain Name text box.  
You can also use a standard WWW browser to change the NetBIOS  
name. To do this, connect to the print server using its IP address and  
then select the Configure NetBIOS option from the Network  
Configuration screen, then enter your workgroup/domain name into  
the Domain Name text box. Make sure you submit the changes  
(click on the Submit button).

Printing for Windows®  
Internet Printing Installation  
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:  
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 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.  
2
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.

Windows® 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP  
protocol via Windows® 2000 computer, provided that the  
Microsoft Internet Print Services software is installed on the  
client PC, Internet Information Server (IIS) is installed and  
running on the server and that the client PC is using version 4  
or later of Microsoft Internet Explorer.  
Brother Internet Print General Information  
The BIP software is installed using a standard Windows® 95/98/Me/  
2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 Installation Wizard. It creates a virtual  
port on the Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 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® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 Print Manager  
to create a printer that uses this port along with a standard Windows®  
95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0-compatible printer. Any  
Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 applications  
program can therefore print to this printer (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.  
CDOoNwnFloIaGd UfroRmIWNwGw.SINomTaEnuRalsN.cEomT. APllRMIaNnuTalIsNSGearcFhOAnRd DWowINnloDadO. WS® 5 - 2  
           
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 printer.  
If an E-mail is received that has not been configured to use  
the BIP virtual port driver, the printer will print the E-mail out  
as a text document.  
Brother Internet Print: Configuring the Brother  
Print/Fax Server  
The Print/Fax server can be configured using BRAdmin Professional  
utility or by using a web browser.  
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.

How to Configure Novell NetWare  
Printing  
Overview  
Brother Print/Fax servers allow NetWare client PCs to print jobs on  
the same printer as TCP/IP or other network protocol users. All  
NetWare jobs are spooled through the Novell server and delivered to  
the printer when it is available.  
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 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.  
2
The default password for Brother Print/Fax servers is access.

General Information  
In order to use a Brother Print/Fax server on a NetWare network, one  
or more file servers must be configured with a print queue that the  
Print/Fax server can service. Users send their print requests to the  
file server's print queue, and the jobs are then spooled (either  
directly, or in the case of remote printer mode, via an intermediate  
Netware Print Server) to the appropriate Brother Print/Fax server.  
The system administrator can create Bindery (NetWare 3), NDS  
(NetWare 3 and NetWare 4) based queues in a single environment  
without having to switch between applications by using the BRAdmin  
Professional utility.  
NetWare 5 users wishing to configure an NDPS printer must use the  
NWADMIN application supplied with NetWare 5. Please note that it  
is possible to create IPX BINDERY or NDS based queues on a  
NetWare 5 system using the BRAdmin Professional utility.  
You must install the Novell NetWare Client 32 if you wish to create  
queue information on your NetWare servers using the BRAdmin  
Professional utility.  
If you can't use the BRAdmin Professional utility in your environment,  
you can create the queue using the traditional NetWare PCONSOLE  
utility or NWADMIN utilities, but you will then also need to use a  
WWW browser to configure the Print/Fax server.  
Brother Print/Fax servers can service up to 16 file servers and 32  
queues.

Creating a NDPS Printer Using NWADMIN for  
NetWare5  
With NetWare 5, Novell has released a new preferred printing  
system called Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS). Before the  
Print/Fax server can be configured, NDPS must be installed on the  
NetWare 5 server and an NDPS Manager configured on the server.  
For further information regarding NDPS printers and printing  
please see Other Sources of Information on page 6-13.  
NDPS Manager  
This creates a NDPS manager that interacts with services running at  
the server and manages an unlimited number of printer agents.  
You have to create an NDPS manager within an NDS tree before  
creating server-based printer agents. If the NDPS manager controls  
a printer attached directly to the server, you must load the manager  
on the server that the printer is attached to.  
1
In NetWare administrator, navigate to the area you want the  
NDPS manager to reside. Select Object | Create | NDPS  
Manager and click OK.  
2
3
Enter an NDPS manager name.  
Browse to a server (which has NDPS installed but no NDPS  
manager installed) where you want to install the NDPS manager  
and then to the volume you want the NDPS manager database  
assigned to. Click create.

5.1). If you are using NDPS version 1 with NetWare 4.x, only  
3.1x and 95/98/Me options will be available. NDPS version 2 for  
NetWare 4.x will support Windows NT®4.0 drivers automatic  
download.

Draw driver on a Network, see the Quick Setup Guide included with  
the machine.  
Overview  
Brother print servers support the AppleTalk protocol running over  
Ethernet (also known as EtherTalk). This allows Macintosh® users to  
print at the same time as all other Ethernet network using the  
AppleTalk (also referred to as EtherTalk) protocol.  
With the release of System 8.6 or later, Apple introduced a TCP/IP  
printing capability. This allows Macintosh® users to send print jobs  
using the TCP/IP protocol.  
With the release of OS/X 10.2, Apple® introduced support for Simple  
Network Configuration capabilities.Simple Network Configuration  
supports automatic network configuration.If you choose to use the  
Simple Network Configuration of your product, you usually do not  
need to configure any IP address settings yourself.

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.  
Macintosh® Configuration (Mac OS® 8.6 - 9.2)  
Your Brother Printer is compatible with the standard Apple LaserWriter  
8 printer driver (earlier versions of the LaserWriter drivers may crash  
or cause PostScript errors on large networks). If you do not have the  
LaserWriter 8 driver you must install it. Consult your Macintosh  
documentation for instructions on how to do this.

DLC Printing  
Printing from Windows NT®4.0 or  
8
Windows® 2000  
Overview  
DLC is a simple protocol that is included in Windows NT®4.0 and  
Windows® 2000 as standard. It can be used on other operating  
systems (such as Windows® 3.x) with the addition of vendor-supplied  
software that supports the Hewlett-Packard JetDirect card.  
Quick Tips:  
1
One way to print the details of all network settings is to print a  
configuration page. For information on how to print the  
configuration page, see Resetting the Print/Fax Sever back to  
factory settings (Test Switch) on page 13-4.  
Because DLC is a non-routable protocol, there cannot be a  
router between the print server and the sending computer.  
Configuring DLC on Windows NT®4.0 and  
Windows® 2000  
To use DLC on Windows NT®4.0 and Windows® 2000, you must first  
install the DLC protocol.  
1
2
Log into Windows NT®4.0 with administrative privileges. Go to  
the Windows NT®4.0 Control Panel and double click on the  
Network icon. Windows® 2000 users select the properties of  
the Local Area Connection.  
On Windows NT®4.0 systems, click on the Protocol tab, and  
click Add. Windows® 2000 users click the Install button from  
the General tab.

Select DLC Protocol and then OK or Add if using Windows®  
2000. You may be asked for the location of the files. For Intel  
based computers, the necessary files are stored in the i386  
directory of the Windows NT®4.0 CD-ROM. If you have a non-  
Intel platform, specify the correct directory on your Windows  
NT®4.0 CD-ROM and close the windows.  
Reboot your system to make the change take effect. Windows®  
2000 should not require a re-boot.

Configuring DLC on Other Systems  
To use DLC on other network systems, you will generally need  
vendor-supplied software. Typically such software will support the  
Brother Print/Fax servers. Follow the vendor's instructions to install  
the DLC protocol on your system.  
Once the protocol is installed, create a network port in the same way  
that you did for Windows NT®4.0 in the previous sections. The MAC  
address (Ethernet address) of the Print/Fax server should  
automatically appear during the configuration process.  
DLC PRINTING 8 - 4  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
The final step is to create a printer using the normal operating system  
printer setup method. The only difference is that instead of  
connecting the printer to the LPT1 parallel port, you point it to the  
network port you just created.  
Brother does not recommend using the DLC protocol with  
Windows® for Workgroups 3.11 in a peer-to-peer  
configuration if the printer will be heavily used. This is  
because jobs may be rejected due to print spooler timeouts.  
The best solution in these situations is to set up one PC as a  
server for handling network print jobs. All of the other PCs  
send their print jobs to the server PC using NetBEUI or TCP/  
IP, and the server PC then uses DLC to send the print jobs to  
the Brother print server.

How to use a Web Browser to  
manage your Device  
Overview  
A standard Web Browser (we recommend Netscape Navigator  
version 4.0 or later/Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later)  
can be used to manage your machine using the HTTP (Hyper Text  
Transfer Protocol). You can get the following information from a  
printer on your network using a web browser:  
1
2
Printer status information.  
Change Fax configuration items, such as Initial Setup. One  
Touch Dial settings and Remote Fax.  
3
You can also change network settings such as TCP/IP  
information, Internet Fax address information, etc.  
4
5
Software version information of the machine and print server.  
Change network and machine configuration details.  
You must use the TCP/IP protocol on your network and have a valid  
IP address programmed into the Print/Fax server and your computer.  
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 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.

You can also use the BRAdmin Professional utility to manage  
the printer and its network configuration.  
How to connect to your machine using a Browser  
Type http://printer’s IP Address /into your browser (you  
can also use the NetBIOS name of the Print/Fax server, if you are in  
a Microsoft Windows domain/Workgroup environment). Enter the  
DNS name of the machine if connecting to a network that uses the  
DNS protocol.  
Password Information  
Web Based Management offers two levels of password access.  
Users are able to access to the General Setup, Fax settings, I-Fax  
Settings and Lists and Reports. The default user name for Users is  
user (case sensitive) and the default password is access.

RARP  
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  
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”.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.coFm.RAOll MNaTnuaPlsASNeaErcLh ASndEDToUwnPloaMd.ENU10 - 3  
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.  
DHCP  
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,  
Windows NT®4.0 or Novell Netware 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, use the front panel, Web browser or by  
using the BRAdmin application.

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 the  
Brother network board in 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.

Assigning TCP/IP Information  
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 the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP  
address of a Brother print 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® 95/98/Me/2000/XP  
and Windows NT®4.0 using the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols).  
DHCP, APIPA, Reverse ARP (rarp) or BOOTP.  
The ARP command.  
HTTP (Web browser).  
Other SNMP based management utility.  
Web BRAdmin software  
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).

Using the machine control panel to allocate  
an IP address (Models with LCD panels only)  
For details on how to configure IP address information using the  
machine control panel , see chapter 10 of this user guide. 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 BRAdmin Professional utility version on the CD-  
ROM that was supplied with your Brother product or  
later.Please visit http://solutions.brother.com to download  
the latest Brother BRAdmin Professional utility version.  
Start the BRAdmin Professional utility (from Windows® 95/98/Me/  
2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0).

The BRAdmin Professional utility can use the IPX/SPX or 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/Fax server has a valid IP address. If you are  
not using DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you will want to change the IP  
address.There are two ways to change the IP address using the  
BRAdmin Professional utility:  
Use the IPX/SPX protocol.  
Use the TCP/IP protocol and let BRAdmin Professional utility find  
the Brother Print/Fax server as an unconfigured device.  
Using BRAdmin Professional utility and the IPX/  
SPX Protocol to set the IP address  
If your PC is using the Novell Netware Client software and is using  
the IPX/SPX protocol, do the following:  
1
2
Select IPX/SPX filter in the left frame of the main window.  
Check the Print/Fax server name (the default node name is  
Ethernet address (MAC address)).  
If you cannot find your server name, select the Device menu and  
choose Search Active Devices (you can also press the F4 key) and  
try again.  
You can find the node name and MAC address by printing  
out the machine configuration page. For information on how  
to print the configuration page on your Print/Fax server, see  
Resetting the Print/Fax Sever back to factory settings (Test  
Switch) on page 13-4.

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, Windows NT® 4.0,  
Windows® 2000, XP or Novell Netware 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, a Web browser  
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.

Using ARP to Configure the Print/Fax  
Server IP Address  
If you are unable to use the BRAdmin Professional utility or the  
machine’s control panel and your network does not use a DHCP  
server, you can also use the ARP command. The ARP command is  
available on Windows® systems that have TCP/IP installed as well as  
Unix systems. To use arp enter the following command at the  
command prompt:  
arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress  
Where ethernetaddressis the Ethernet address (MAC address)  
of the Print/Fax server and ipaddressis the IP address of the Print/  
Fax server. For example:  
Windows® Systems  
Windows® Systems require the hyphen “-” character between each  
digit of the Ethernet address.  
arp -s 192.189.207.2 00-80-77-31-01-07  
11 - 6 TCPD/IoPwnCloaOdNfroFmIGWwUwR.SAomTaInOuaNls.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
Unix/Linux Systems  
Typically, Unix systems require the colon “:” character between  
each digit of the Ethernet address.  
arp -s 192.189.207.2 00:80:77:31:01:07  
You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot  
be a router between the Print/Fax server and operating system) to  
use the arp -s command.  
If there is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods  
described in this chapter to enter the IP address.  
If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP  
addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother Print/Fax  
server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP  
address allocation systems. In which case, you will not need to  
use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once. For  
security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP  
address of a Brother Print/Fax server using the ARP command,  
you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address.  
The Print/Fax server will ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish  
to change the IP address again, use a Web Browser, the  
machine’s control panel or factory reset the Print/Fax server  
(which will then allow you to use the ARP command again).  
To configure the Print/Fax server and to verify the connection,  
enter the following command ping ipaddresswhere  
ipaddressis the IP address of the Print/Fax server. For  
example, ping 192.189.207.2.  
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 11 - 7  
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  
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:  
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 11 - 9  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
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.

Internet FAX  
12  
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  
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 files, you can use Microsoft® Imaging or a  
TIFF-F viewer application [Pages Viewer] is available as a download  
from the Brother Web site http://www.brother.com. Any documents  
sent via the machine will automatically be converted into a TIFF-F  
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.

Getting Connected  
Before sending or receiving an Internet Fax you must configure your  
machine to communicate with your network and mail server. You  
must ensure the following: a correctly configured IP address for your  
machine, an E-mail address for your machine, the mail server(s) IP  
address, mailbox name and password for your machine. If you are  
unsure of any of these items, please contact your systems  
administrator. For details of how to configure this information, refer  
to the Web Based Management section (Internet Settings) of this  
User’s Guide.

Sending an Internet Fax  
Sending an Internet Fax is the same as sending a normal Fax. If you  
have already programmed the addresses of the Internet Fax  
receivers into the machine as Speed-Dial locations, you can send  
the Internet Fax by loading the document into the machine, use the  
Fax Resolution key to set the preferred resolution and select a  
Speed-Dial number and pressing Start.  
This will differ depending on the whether your machine  
contains Speed-Dial keys or includes Navigator Keys.  
If you wish to manually enter the Internet Fax Address load the  
document into the machine and press Shift and 1 simultaneously to  
change into the “alphabet” dialling mode.

Press Start to send the document.  
After the document is scanned, it is transmitted to the Recipient  
Internet Fax Machine automatically via your SMTP server. You can  
cancel the send operation by pressing the Stop/Exit button during  
scanning. After the transmission is finished, the machine will return  
to standby mode.  
Some E-mail servers do not allow you to send large E-mail  
documents (the System Administrator will often place a limit on the  
maximum E-mail size). You can enable the Size Limit of the Setup  
Mail RX feature using the control panel. The machine will display  
Out of Memorywhen trying to send E-mail documents over  
1Mbyte in size. The document will not be sent and an error report will  
be printed. The document you are sending should be separated into  
smaller documents that will be accepted by the mail server. You can  
turn on this feature through the Web Management utility or the LAN  
function mode.  
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)  
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 + Start 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 MAIL(S)”. If you press the Shift + Start  
buttons to manually poll the E-mail server for E-mail print jobs and  
there are no mail documents waiting to be printed, the machine will  
display No Mailon the LCD panel for two seconds.  
INTERNET FAX 12 - 5

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 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 Delete  
POP Receive 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® 95/ 98/98SE/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0  
operating system, please inform the PC's owner that software must  
be downloaded for documents in the TIFF-F format to be viewed.  
You can use “ Microsoft® Imaging” that is supplied with Windows®  
95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 but some older versions of  
Windows® 95 do not support viewing TIFF-F documents.  
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 User’s Guide included with the machine to check that this  
feature is supported. This function is not available for color fax  
documents.  
This can be done using the Web Management Utility or through the  
12 - 6 INTERNET FAX

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 care 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 10 domain names.  
Relay Broadcast can support the relay of a document up to a  
maximum of 48 fax machines through conventional telephone lines.

Your machine has an E-mail address of [email protected], you wish  
to send a document from this machine to another machine in  
England with an E-mail address of [email protected], this  
machine will then forward the document to a standard fax machine  
using a conventional telephone line. If your E-mail address is  
[email protected], you must configure a trusted domain name of  
brother.com on the machine in England that will broadcast the  
document to the conventional fax machine. If you do not enter the  
domain name information, then the machine in the middle (the  
machine that will broadcast the document) will not trust any internet  
jobs that it receives from the machine in the @brother.com domain.  
After the trusted domain is set you can send the document from your  
machine [I.E. [email protected]] by entering the E-mail address of  
the machine [I.E. [email protected]] that will forward the  
document followed by the phone number of the fax that will receive  
the document. The following is an example of how to enter the E-mail  
address and phone number.

relayed E-mail will vary depending on the mail application you are  
using. The following are some examples of different mail  
applications:  
Some E-mail applications do not support sending to multiple phone  
numbers. If your E-mail application cannot support multiple phone  
numbers you will only be able to relay to one Fax machine at a time.

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.  
INTERNET FAX 12 - 9

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 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 circuit (such as the internet) 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.

to print.  
see Resetting the Print/Fax Sever back to factory settings (Test  
Switch) on page 13-4. If the test fails, check:  
a
If the LED is not blinking after connected to the network, then  
the network firmware settings may be corrupted.  
b
In this event, try to restore the factory default settings of the  
Print/Fax server. To learn how to reset the print server, see  
Resetting the Print/Fax Sever back to factory settings (Test  
Switch) on page 13-4. Once you have done that, switch the  
machine off and then on again, and try to print out the  
configuration page.

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 UNIX, TCP/IP Windows NT®4.0/LAN Server,  
Windows® 98/95/Me Peer to Peer (LPR), Internet Printing or  
Web Browser troubleshooting section. Otherwise, proceed to  
step 3, and then go to TCP/IP Troubleshooting section.  
b
If you are using Novell system:  
Verify that the Print server can be seen on the network. To do  
this, login as the SUPERVISOR (not as someone with  
supervisor privileges) or ADMIN (for Netware 4 or later  
servers), go into PCONSOLE or NWADMIN, select PRINT  
SERVER INFORMATION, and select the name of the Print  
server (make sure that you have entered the Print server  
name). If you can see Print Server Status and  
Controlin the menu, then the Brother Print/Fax server is  
visible to the network, proceed to the Novel NetWare  
Installation Troubleshooting Section. Otherwise, go to step 3.  
c
If you are running AppleTalk for Macintosh:  
In case of using Postscript driver make sure that you can see  
the Print/Fax server name under the LaserWriter 8 icon in the  
Chooser. If it is visible, then the connection is good, so  
proceed to the AppleTalk for Macintosh Section. Otherwise,  
go to step 3.

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.  
c
Check to see if there is any LED activity.  
The NC-9100h Print/Fax server has two LEDs on the back panel  
of the machine. The upper side LED shows Link/Speed status.  
The lower side LED shows Activity (Receive/Transmit) status.  
No light:  
If the both of two LEDs are off, then the Print/Fax server is not  
connected to the network.  
Link/Speed LED is orange: Fast Ethernet  
The Link/Speed LED will be orange if the Print/Fax server is  
connected to a 100BaseTX Fast Ethernet network.  
Link/Speed LED is green: 10BaseT Ethernet  
The Link/Speed LED will be green if the Print/Fax server is  
connected to a 10BaseT Ethernet network.

5
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.

TCP/IP Troubleshooting  
If you are using TCP/IP and cannot print to the Print/Fax 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 printer and then on again, Deleting and recreating the Print server and  
creating a new print queue in order to eliminate the possibility of setup errors.  
1
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/Fax 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/hosts  
file.  
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.  
UNIX Troubleshooting  
1
Make sure that the /etc/printcapfile (if applicable) is typed in  
correctly. In particular, look for missing “:” and “\” characters,  
because a small error anywhere in the file can have major  
consequences. Also check the /usr/spooldirectory to make  
sure that you have created a valid spool directory.

If you are using a Linux operating system, the X-Window Print  
tool program that is included with Linux may not properly  
configure the etc/printcap file for lpd operation, then you might  
also edit the etc/printcap file and change the following line in the  
entry for the printer.  
if  
:lp = /dev/null: \  
then to  
:lp = :\

If you are using a Berkeley-based UNIX, make sure that the  
daemon is started on Berkeley based systems with the  
command lpc start printer, where printer is the name of the local  
print queue.  
4
5
6
If you are using an AT&T-based UNIX, make sure the printer is  
enabled (enable printer, where printer is the name of the local  
print queue).  
Make sure that the lpr/lpd remote line printer service are running  
on the host computer (refer to your host computer  
documentation for information on how to do this).  
If text or PCL jobs are run together, try setting the service  
(remote printer) with EOT set to string number 2 (<ESC>E). For  
example:  
SET SERVICE BRN_xxxxxx_P1 EOT 2  
7
8
If PostScript jobs fail to print or are run together, try setting the  
service (remote printer) with EOT set to string number 3  
(control-D). For example:  
SET SERVICE BRN_xxxxxx_P1 EOT 3  
If the lines of a text file are staggered, make sure that you have  
specified a remote printer (rp) name of TEXT in your /etc/  
printcapfile.

If you are using Sun Solaris V2.4 or earlier, there is a bug which  
causes long print jobs to fail when using a Printer/Fax server. If  
you are having trouble printing long jobs (over 1MB), add the  
line mx#0 to your etc/printcapfile entry.  
10 If you cannot print from DEC TCP/IP Service for VMS (UCX),  
make sure that you have version 2.0B or later of this software,  
because earlier versions will not work with Brother Print/Fax  
servers.  
Windows NT®4.0/LAN Server (TCP/IP)  
Troubleshooting  
If you are having trouble printing with Windows NT®4.0 or LAN  
Server, check the following:  
1
Make sure that TCP/IP and TCP/IP print service are installed  
and running on the Windows NT®4.0 system or the LAN Server  
file server.  
2
If you are using DHCP and you have not created a reservation  
for the Print/Fax server, make sure that you enter the NetBIOS  
name of the Print/Fax server in the Name or address of server  
providing lpd box.  
Windows® 95/98/Me Peer to Peer Print  
(LPR) Troubleshooting  
If you are having trouble printing on a Windows® 95/98/Me Peer-to-  
Peer network (LPR method), check the following:  
1
Make sure that the Brother LPR Port driver is correctly installed  
and configured according to the Windows® 95/98/Me Peer-to-  
Peer chapters.  
2
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® 95/98/Me computers. Press the ALT and TAB

Windows® 95/98/Me Peer-to-Peer (HP JetAdmin  
compatible method) Troubleshooting  
If you are having trouble printing on a Windows® 95/98/Me Peer-to-  
Peer network, check the following (HP JetAdmin compatible  
method):  
1
If the Print/Fax server does not show up under JetAdmin on a  
Windows® 95/98/Me Peer-to-Peer network, try removing all of  
the Windows® 95/98/Me network software from the Network  
Control panel and then reinstalling them as follows:  
First install the IPX/SPX-Compatible Protocol (or the TCP/IP  
protocol if you are using a later version of JetAdmin), the  
Client for Microsoft Networks, and the network adapter card  
driver.  
Install the Latest HP JetAdmin software.  
Restart the system, and then add the HP JetAdmin service.  
Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0  
Peer-to-Peer Print (NetBIOS) Troubleshooting  
If you are having trouble printing on a Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP  
and Windows NT®4.0 (or later) Peer-to-Peer network (NetBIOS),  
check the following:  
1
Make sure that the Brother NetBIOS Port driver is securely  
installed and configured according to the Windows® 95/98/Me/  
2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 Peer-to-Peer (NetBIOS)  
chapters. You may find that during the installation of the port  
driver, the screen that prompts you for a Port name is not  
displayed. This happens on some Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/  
XP and Windows NT®4.0 computers. Press the ALT and TAB  
keys to make it appear.  
2
Make sure that the Print/Fax server is configured to be in the  
same workgroup or domain as the rest of your computers. It may  
take several minutes for the Print/Fax server to appear in the  
network neighborhood.

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.  
Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP IPP Troubleshooting  
Want to use a different Port number other than 631  
If you are using Port 631 for IPP printing, you may find that your  
firewall may not let the print data through. If this is the case, use a  
different port number (port 80), or configure your Firewall to allow  
Port 631 data through.  
To send a print job using IPP to a printer using Port 80 (the standard  
HTTP port) enter the following when configuring your Windows®  
2000/XP system.  
http://ip_address/ipp

If you are using a URL of:  
http://ip_address:631 or http://ip_address:631/ipp,  
the Get More Info option in Windows® 2000 or the Go to Printer’s  
Web site option in Windows® XP will not function. If you wish to use  
the Get More Info or the Go to Printer’s Web site option use the  
following URL:  
http://ip_address  
This will then force Windows® 2000/XP to use Port 80 to  
communicate with the Brother Print/Fax server.  
Windows® 95/98/Me clients not able to get the driver from a  
Windows® 2000/XP system.  
You must be using version 4.0 or later of Internet Explorer and the  
Microsoft Internet Print Services software must be installed on  
your client computers.  
Novell NetWare Troubleshooting  
If you cannot print from NetWare and you have checked the  
hardware and network as described in the previous steps, first verify  
that the Brother Print/Fax server is attached to the server queue by  
going to PCONSOLE, selecting PRINT QUEUE INFORMATION,  
and then CURRENTLY ATTACHED SERVERS. If the Print server  
does not appear in the list of attached servers, then check the  
following:  
It is always a good idea to try followings in order to eliminate  
the possibility of setup errors.  
Turning off the machine and then on again to force to  
rescan the Netware queue.  
Deleting and recreating the Print server and creating a new  
print queue in order to eliminate the possibility of setup  
errors.

If you changed the login password, you must change the  
password in both the Brother Print/Fax server (using the SET  
NETWARE PASSWORDcommand if you are using the BRConfig  
software or by using a web browser or the BRAdmin  
Professional utility) and in the file server (using the PCONSOLE  
Print Server Information Change Password  
command).  
If you created the print queue using PCONSOLE and BRConfig  
instead of BRAdmin Professional utility, make sure that you  
have enabled at least one NetWare file server using the SET  
NETWARE SERVER servername ENABLEDcommand.  
3
4
Have you exceeded your NetWare user limit?  
Make sure that the Print server name you used in PCONSOLE  
exactly matches the name that is configured in the Print/Fax  
server, and make sure it is defined as a Queue Server for the print  
queue.  
5
6
If you are running both 802.3 and Ethernet II frames on different  
file servers on your network, there is a possibility that the Print/  
Fax server may not make a connection to the desired file server.  
Try forcing the frame type to the desired one using the SET  
NETWARE FRAMEcommand from the Print/Fax server remote  
console or using BRAdmin Professional utility.  
If you are using DOS CAPTURE statement and losing portions  
of your print job, try setting the TIMEOUT parameter in your  
CAPTURE statement to a higher value (at least 50 seconds for  
Windows®).  
AppleTalk Troubleshooting  
In case of using Postscript driver, if you cannot print from an  
AppleTalk for Macintosh computer and you have checked the  
hardware and network as described in the previous steps, then  
check the following:  
1
Make sure that you are running Phase 2 AppleTalk and that you  
have selected the correct network interface from the AppleTalk  
Control Panel on the Macintosh.  
13 - 11 TRDOoUwnBloLadEfSromHWOwOwT.SIoNmGanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
2
3
Make sure that the AppleTalk protocol of the Print/Fax server is  
enabled.  
If you have a large network, make sure that you have the Laser  
Writer V8.xx or equivalent driver, since earlier versions may  
cause PostScript errors. Also, verify that you get the correct  
printer information when you select Printer Info from the Setup  
button in the Chooser.  
4
5
Make sure that you have selected the correct Printer Description File  
(PPD) from the Chooser (otherwise PostScript errors may result).  
Verify that you have selected the correct AppleTalk zone.  
Because the Print/Fax server gets its zone information from  
router broadcasts, it may not be in the zone you expect, and will  
therefore not show up in the Chooser. If this is the case, you may  
need to force the zone name using BRAdmin Professional utility,  
a web browser.  
DLC/LLC Troubleshooting  
If you are having trouble printing with DLC/LLC, check the following:  
1
2
Make sure that the DLC/LLC protocol is enabled using either  
BRAdmin Professional utility, a web browser or TELNET.  
Make sure that the MAC address of the Windows® setting is the  
same as shown in the network configuration page printout.  
Web Browser Troubleshooting (TCP/IP)  
1
If you can not connect to the Print/Fax server using your web  
browser it may be worth checking the Proxy Settings of your  
browser. Look in the Exceptions setting and if necessary, type  
in the IP address of the Print/Fax server. This will stop your PC  
from trying to connect to your ISP or proxy server every time you  
wish to look at the Print/Fax server.  
2
Make sure that you are using the proper Web Browser, we  
recommend Netscape Navigator version 4.0 or later/ Microsoft  
Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later.

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 format.) All  
documents transmitted to the machine via E-mail must be in a  
TIFF-F 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  
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.  
13 - 13 TRDOoUwnBloLadEfSromHWOwOwT.SIoNmGanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
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 NC-9100h Print / Fax Server requires a portion of the user  
memory for operation. With the NC-9100h installed 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  
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® 95/98/  
Me, Windows NT®4.0 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 the NC-9100h 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.  
The easiest way to achieve this is to logon to the machine using Web  
Based Management. Open you favorite web browser and enter the  
IP address of the network machine. Enter the password of the  
NC-9100h Print/Fax Server to access the configuration settings.

If you do not know the password contact you Network  
Administrator.  
Then browse to Internet Settings and Relay Function.  
In order for the machine to receive data from the desktop 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/  
The Print / Fax server supports multiple machine models so when  
inserted into the machine the version of the NC-9100h hardware is  
checked against the firmware of your machine. If the firmware for  
your NC-9100h has been superseded with a later version of firmware  
for your model a message is displayed on the LCD. Please update  
your firmware.  
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. For more information, see  
Resetting the Print/Fax Sever back to factory settings (Test Switch)  
on page 13-4.  
There are three methods of upgrading the firmware in your Brother  
Print/Fax server:  
1
2
Use the BRAdmin Professional utility (Recommended)  
Use the FTP protocol (Recommended if running on  
Macintosh or Unix network)  
3
Use another system (such as a Novell or Unix system to send  
the new firmware file to the Print/Fax server).

SHIFT+<select> on each additional Print/Fax server.  
There are three possible ways of sending the new software  
version to the print server. For whichever method you select,  
you must enter a password for the print server. The default  
password for the Print/Fax server is access.

TFTP PUT from this host  
Use this method if you have TCP/IP already installed on your  
PC. BRAdmin Professional utility will use the TFTP protocol to  
send the new firmware data to the Print/Fax server.  
TFTP GET from a server  
If you have a TFTP server installed in your network (many Unix  
systems provide TFTP support), you may wish to use this option.  
The new firmware file must be located in the TFTP BOOT directory  
on your TFTP server. In this case, your PC makes the Print/Fax  
server read the firmware data from the assigned TFTP server. If you  
do not provide the correct file name, then the upgrade will fail. You  
must also ensure that the firmware file is set so that the Print/Fax  
server can read the file. On Unix systems you can use the chmod  
command to specify file attributes. For example, chmod  
filename 666allows the filename to be accessed by anyone.  
Also make sure that the TFTP service is running on your Unix  
server.

Netware GET from a server  
You must have a Netware server on your network (running IPX/  
SPX) and you must store the new firmware file in the SYS/Login  
directory of the server. In this case, your PC makes the Print/Fax  
server read the firmware data from the assigned Netware  
server, the Print/Fax server attaches to the Netware server and  
reads the firmware itself.  
After sending firmware to the machine, do not turn off the  
machine until after the machine has performed an automatic  
restart.  
Reloading using the FTP Protocol from a  
command prompt  
By specifying the Print/Fax server password as the username when  
logging on, it becomes possible to upgrade the firmware of the Print/  
Fax server or printer (if supported). The following example assumes  
that the Print/Fax server password is cambridge  
D:\>ftp  
ftp> open 220.0.250.200

When you see 226 Data Transfer OK/Entering  
FirmWareUpdate mode, you can be sure that the firmware file is  
being transferred to the Print/Fax server. If you do not see this  
message, the file you are sending to the printer will either be ignored  
or the printer will print garbage.  
You must use the “bin” command to put the FTP client into  
Binary communications mode. If you do not specify the bin  
command the upgrade process will not function correctly.

Updating other machines through the Network  
It is possible to program Brother machines on the network with either  
settings from an already programmed machine or with data from the  
Brother Network PC-FAX Address Book. See Chapter 7 of the  
Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.  
When Brother Network PC-FAX in used from a PC that has BRAdmin  
Professional installed, an extra option appears in BRAdmin. By  
selecting a networked machine in the BRAdmin main window and  
right clicking it you will be presented with an extra option, Import  
Auto Dial.  
If import Auto Dial option does not appear, open the Brother  
PC-FAX address book by selecting Start, Programs,  
Brother, MFL-Pro Suite, PC-FAX Address Book. It is  
necessary to run the address book utility to create an  
address book file.

When you select this option BRAdmin reads the telephone settings  
from that machine (if there are any programmed) into Brother PC-  
FAX Address Book.  
Illustrated below is the Brother Address Book, on the left are One-  
Touch / Speed-Dial numbers read from the machine. On the right is  
the Brother Address Book. It is now possible to allocate One-Touch  
/ Speed-Dial numbers from the machine into the Brother Address  
Book and also use members of the Brother Address Book and send  
them to the machine. You can now make changes to the data in the  
Brother Network PC-FAX Address Book and click OK.  
This data is then stored in the Windows® Temp Folder and can be  
used to update singular or multiple machines on the network.

Highlight singular or multiple networked Brother machines in the  
main BRAdmin window by highlighting and pressing the shift key on  
your keyboard. Right click the highlighted machines and press Send  
Auto Dial. The new data is then sent to all the highlighted machines.  
A dialog box is displayed showing the upload status of current  
machine and beneath this the whole progress is displayed if updating  
multiple machines.  
When the process is finished a dialog box is displayed showing  
which machines on the network have been updated.
