Unix Printing

Printing from Unix/Linux Using TCP/IP  
Overview  
Brother print 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, you can disable it using printer control panel (If  
applicable). If your printer doesn't have an LCD panel, see  
chapter 3 of the printer User's Guide).  
2
If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a  
Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer  
control panel (If applicable), the BRAdmin Professional / Web  
BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP  
address to the printer.  
3
4
Refer to chapter 10 of this Guide to learn how to configure the  
IP address on your printer.  
The default password for Brother print servers is access.  
1 - 1 UNIX PRINTING  
                 
5
6
The default name for a Brother print server is usually  
BRN_xxxxxx(where xxxxxxis the last six digits of the  
Ethernet address of the print server).  
When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to  
the service names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1.  
TCP/IP  
Brother print 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 servers also support the FTP protocol. This protocol can  
be used to send print jobs from Unix systems.  
The Brother print server is pre-configured to run on a TCP/IP network  
with a minimum of setup. The only mandatory configuration of the  
print server is the allocation of an IP address and a subnet mask,  
which can be either automatically assigned using DHCP, BOOTP  
etc., or manually assigned using the BRAdmin Professional or  
Web BRAdmin utilities, the printer control panel (If applicable) or the  
ARP command from a Unix command prompt.).  
For setting the IP address of the print server, Quick Setup  
Guide or to chapter 10 of this User’s 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 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  
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 2  
                 
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 server (the name that appears on the printer  
settings 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 server service you want to use. There are  
several types of services available on Brother print 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 server, each one with a different  
service name (for example, one queue for binary graphics jobs  
and one for text jobs).  
1 - 3 UNIX PRINTING  
         
3
Configure the /etc/printcapfile on each host computer to  
specify the local print queue, the print server name (also called  
remote machine or rm), and the print 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 refer to the SCO UNIX Configuration section. 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.  
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 4  
 
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.  
1 - 5 UNIX PRINTING  
       
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).  
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 6  
     
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 server as the Remote System  
Name.  
Enter the desired print 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 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.  
1 - 7 UNIX PRINTING  
       
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 server name; must match  
what is in hosts file or use print 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:  
1
2
3
4
5
6
Enter smit and select devices.  
Select Printer/Plotter.  
Select Print Spooling.  
Select Add a Print Queue.  
Select Remote.  
Enter the following Remote Printer Settings:  
Name of queue (user selectable)  
Host name of Remote Printer (print server name; must match  
name in /etc/hostsfile or use the print server IP address)  
Name of queue on remote printer (print server binary or text  
service name, eg. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1).  
Type of print spooler. BSD (press the LIST button and choose  
BSD)  
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 8  
       
The procedure for pre-V4.0 systems is as follows.  
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
Enter smit and select devices.  
Select printer/plotter.  
Select manage remote printer subsystem.  
Select client services.  
Select remote printer queues.  
Select add a remote queue.  
Enter the following remote queue settings:  
Name of queue to add (user selectable).  
Activate the queue (Yes).  
Destination host (print server name; must match name in /  
etc/hostsfile or use the print server IP address)  
Name of queue on remote printer (print server binary or  
text service name, eg. BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1).  
Name of device to add (user selectable; for example lp0).  
Sun Solaris 2.x Configuration  
Sun Solaris 2.x uses the lpsystem and lpadmin programs for remote  
printer configuration:  
lpsystem -t bsd prnservername  
lpadmin -p queue -s prnservername!prnserverservice  
accept queue  
enable queue  
(not required on newer Solaris systems)  
(not required on newer Solaris systems)  
Where queueis the name of the local print queue.  
prnservernameis the name of the print server (must match the  
entry in the /etc/hostsfile or IP address).  
prnserverserviceis the print server BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1  
service.  
1 - 9 UNIX PRINTING  
   
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 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 .  
SCO UNIX Configuration  
To configure a printer in version Version 5.x of SCO Unix, use the  
SCOADMIN program.  
1
2
Select Printers and then Print Manager.  
On the menu select Printer and then Add Remote followed by  
Unix...  
3
Enter the IP address of the print server, and type in the name of  
the printer that will be used to spool to.  
4
5
Deselect Use External remote Printing Protocol...  
To eject the printed page, add the command rp=lpafto the /  
etc/printcapfile.  
UNIX PRINTING 1 - 10  
     
SCO UNIX requires TCP/IP V1.2 or later to work with Brother print  
servers. You must first configure the /etc/hostsand /etc/  
printcapfiles as described in step 2. Then run the sysadmsh  
program as follows:  
1
2
3
4
Select Printers.  
Select Configure.  
Select Add.  
Enter the name of the print queue you entered in the /etc/  
printcapfile as the Printer name.  
5
6
7
Enter anything as the Comment, and Class name.  
For the Use printer interface select Existing.  
Press the F3 key to get a list of available interfaces, and select  
the desired one as the Name of interface using the cursor keys  
(Dumbis a good choice).  
8
9
Select Direct as the Connection.  
Enter the desired Device name (/dev/lpgenerally works).  
10 Select Hardwired as the Device.  
11 Select No for the Require banner field.  
Older SCO Unix Systems  
The Brother print servers support the FTP protocol. Earlier SCO Unix  
systems are often configured to print using the FTP protocol.  
IBM AS/400  
To use a Brother print server with an IBM AS/400 running IBM's TCP/  
IP gateways services for OS/400 (the OS/400 system must be v3.1  
or later)  
Use the CFGTCP command at your OS/400 prompt to add the print  
server's TCP/IP address to the AS/400 host table.  
1 - 11 UNIX PRINTING  
         
Use the following one-line OS/400 command to create the LPD  
queue:  
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 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 server. Note that the IP address and description must be  
enclosed in single quotes.  
For example:  
CRTOUTQ OUTQ(BR1) RMTSYS(*INTNETADR)  
RMTPRTQ(BINARY_P1) AUTOSTRWTR(1) CNNTYPE(*IP)  
DESTTYPE(*OTHER) MFRTYPMDL(*HP5SI)  
INTNETADR('10.0.0.200') TEXT('Arnes Printer')  
If you are using A4 paper, you may find that the printer page  
formatting is incorrect (this is probably because your AS/400 system  
is set to Letter sized paper), to resolve this problem, do the following:  
Edit the Host Print Transform source code:  
RTVWSCST DEVTYPE(*TRANSFORM) MFRTYPMDL(*HP5SI)

Other Systems  
Other systems use similar programs to set up print 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 server IP address here  
remote host IP address  
IP address of print 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  
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 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  
1 - 13 UNIX PRINTING  
 
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 printer 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 the APIPA protocol is disabled, the  
default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To  
change it, use the printer control panel (if applicable), the  
BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software or let your  
DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

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. For more  
information, see Windows® 2000/XP IPP Printing on page 5-10.

Windows® 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP  
protocol via a Windows® 2000/XP computer providing 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 5-10.  
The default name for a Brother print server is usually  
BRN_xxxxxx(where xxxxxxis the last six digits of the  
Ethernet address of the print 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.

LPD server  
LPD printer  
The Brother print server name (from the  
HOSTS file) or its IP address.  
For most applications, use the Brother print  
server 'binary' service BINARY_P1. However,  
if you are printing text files from the DOS or  
OS/2 command prompt, you should use the  
text service TEXT_P1, which will add carriage  
returns for proper formatting of the data (but  
will potentially distort graphics printouts).  
Host name

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:  
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 the APIPA protocol is  
disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is  
192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if  
applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software  
or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

Microsoft Internet Print Services software is installed on the  
client PC, IIS is installed and running on the Windows® 2000  
and that the client PC is using version 4 or later of Microsoft  
Internet Explorer.  
Brother printers are also compatible with HP JetDirect software,  
this means that you can use HP utilities to manage and to print  
to your Brother printer.  
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.  
TCP/IP Printing  
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 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  
printer, for more information on IP address configuration, refer to  
chapter 10 of this User’s Guide.

How to Print Using NetBIOS in  
Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP,Windows  
NT®4.0, LAN Server and OS/2 Warp  
Server  
Overview  
Brother print server range supports SMB (server message block)  
over the TCP/IP protocol via the NetBIOS interface. This means that  
just like regular Windows® PC's, Brother printers can appear in your  
network neighborhood. The main advantage of NetBIOS printing is  
that you are able to print from legacy DOS applications that are  
running on PC's that are connected to Microsoft networks.  
Quick Tips:  
1
The 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. To change it, use the printer control panel (if  
applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software  
or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

The default password for Brother print servers is access.  
The default domain name of the print server is WORKGROUP, to  
change it use your web browser or the BRAdmin application.  
NETBIOS PEER TO PEER PRINTING 4 - 1  
                           
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 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 Windows NT®4.0, Microsoft introduced the concept  
of "Domains". A domain offers centralized security management  
whereas a workgroup offers distributed security management. The  
print 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 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 four 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 (This utility can use the TCP/IP protocol or NetWare  
IPX protocol - no file server necessary.)  
Use a Web browser (the print 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.  
TELNET, again your computer and printer must have a valid IP  
address.  
Use BRCONFIG for DOS (this utility requires a NetWare file server  
and the IPX protocol).  
4 - 2 NETBIOS PEER TO PEER PRINTING  
       
Because of the way that Microsoft networks work, the print  
server may take several minutes to appear in the network  
neighborhood. You will also find that the print 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  
TELNET or BRCONFIG or a Web Browser  
If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application, you can use  
TELNET, a web browser or the BRCONFIG Remote console  
program (BRCONFIG requires the IPX/SPX protocol to be installed  
on your PC).  
When you are connected to the print server, enter the default  
password accessin response to the #prompt. Type in anything in  
response to the Enter Username>prompt, you will then be at the  
Local>prompt.  
Now enter the command:  
SET NETBIOS DOMAIN domainname

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 the APIPA protocol is  
disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is  
192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if  
applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software  
or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.  
2
Refer to chapter 10 of this User’s Guide to learn how to  
configure the IP address on your printer.

The default password for Brother print 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.  
5 - 1 CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS®

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 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 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 server.  
CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS® 5 - 2  
             
At the remote site, an E-mail server receives the E-mail message.  
The remote print 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 Server  
The print server can be configured using BRAdmin, by using a web  
browser, or by using the TELNET command.  
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 server (generally, the mail account name will be  
the first part of the E-mail 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 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.

Brother Internet Print: Using BRAdmin to  
Configure the Print Server  
Skip this section if you wish to use the print server remote  
console or Web Browser to configure the print server.  
Using the BRAdmin application, you can configure the  
Brother print server using the TCP/IP protocol, or the IPX  
protocol.  
The steps required to configure the print server to receive print jobs  
from a Windows® 95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT®4.0 PC  
running the BIP software is as follows:  
1

Start BRAdmin.  
Select the node name of the desired Brother print server from  
the list and double click on it. (the default node name is usually  
BRN_xxxxxx, where xxxxxxis the last six digits of the  
Ethernet address (MAC address)). You will be prompted for a  
password; the default password is access.  
You can find the node name and MAC address by printing  
out the printer settings page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide  
for information on how to print the settings page on your print  
server.

Click on the POP3/SMTP tab.  
Enter the address of the POP3 server (consult your network  
administrator if you do not know this address).  
5
Enter the mailbox name for the remote Brother print server.  
Usually this will be the first part of the E-mail address (for  
example, if the E-mail address of the print server is  
emailprinter@xyz, then the mailbox name would be  
emailprinter).  
6
Enter the password for the mailbox, if any.

How to Configure Novell NetWare  
Printing  
Overview  
Brother print 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
2
If you create a NDPS Printer for Netware 5, you have to  
configure the IP address of the print server in advance.  
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. To change it, use the printer control panel (if  
applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software  
or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.  
The default password for Brother print servers is access.

General Information  
In order to use a Brother print server on a NetWare network, one or  
more file servers must be configured with a print queue that the print  
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 print server) to the  
appropriate Brother print 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  
application.  
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 application.  
You must install the Novell NetWare Client 32 if you wish to create  
queue information on your NetWare servers using the BRAdmin  
application.  
If you can't use the BRAdmin application 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 the  
Brother BRCONFIG utility, TELNET or a WWW browser to configure  
the print server as described later in this chapter.  
Brother print 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 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,  
see the Other Sources of Information section at the end of  
this chapter.  
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.

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.

NDPS Broker  
When NDPS is installed, an NDPS broker is loaded onto the network.  
One of the Broker services Resource Management Service allows  
Printer Drivers to be installed onto the server for use with Printer  
Agents.  
To add a Printer Driver to the Broker:

Me or NT4.0 driver for NetWare 5 (Additionally, a Windows®  
2000 driver is available for NetWare 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.

Printing From a Macintosh® Using AppleTalk® and  
TCP/IP or the Simple Network Configuration  
capabilities of Mac OS® X  
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 Mac OS® X 10.2, Apple® introduced Simple  
Network Configuration capabilities. These Simple Network  
Configuration capabilities support automatic network configuration. If  
you choose to use the the Simple Network Configuration capabilities  
features of your Brother product, you usually do not need to  
configure any IP address settings yourself.  
7 - 1 PRINTING FROM A MACINTOSH®  
         
Quick Tips:  
1
The default name that will appear in the Chooser of a  
Macintosh® will usually be BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT(where  
xxxxxxis the last 6 digits of the Ethernet address)  
2
From a Macintosh® network, the easiest way to change this name  
is to assign an IP address to the printer and then use a Web  
browser to change the name. Connect to the printer using a web  
browser and then click on Network Configuration. Enter the  
password (the default password is access) then select  
Configure AppleTalk. Click on BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT  
then on Service Name. Enter the new name that you wish to  
appear in Chooser. Then click on Submit

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. To change it, use the printer control panel  
(if applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web  
BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an  
IP address to the printer.  
PRINTING FROM A MACINTOSH® 7 - 2  
   
Macintosh® Configuration (Mac OS® 8.5 to 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.  
Before you try to use the Brother print server, you must first enable  
the EtherTalk protocol from the Network Control Panel on the  
Macintosh®. If the EtherTalk protocol is not selected, or the Network  
Control Panel does not exist, you must use Apple's Network  
Installer software to add these capabilities.  
The appropriate PPD file supplied with your printer must first be  
installed. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your  
computer. Select the Start Here icon, select your language and  
follow the on-screen instructions for Install Software.

DLC Printing  
8
Printing from Windows NT®4.0 or  
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  
settings page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for information on  
how to print the settings page.  
Because DLC is a non-routable protocol, there cannot be a  
router between the print server and the sending computer.  
Configuring DLC on Windows® NT4.0 and  
Windows® 2000  
To use DLC on Windows NT®4.0, you must first install the DLC  
protocol.

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 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 server should automatically  
appear during the configuration process.  
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.  
8 - 4 DLC PRINTING  
 
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 printer 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
3
4
Printer status information.  
Take control of the printer’s control panel (if applicable).  
Software version information of the printer and print server.  
Change network and printer configuration details.  
You must use the TCP/IP protocol on your network and have a valid  
IP address programmed into the print 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 the APIPA protocol is  
disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is  
192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if  
applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software  
or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

TCP/IP Configuration  
10  
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 printer’s control panel settings (if your printer has an  
LCD panel).  
BRAdmin Professional application (for Windows® 95/98/Me,  
Windows NT®4.0 and Windows® 2000/XP, using the IPX/SPX or  
TCP/IP protocols).  
DHCP, APIPA, Reverse ARP (rarp) or BOOTP.  
The ARP command.  
Brother BRCONFIG NetWare utility (a Novell Network is  
necessary).  
TELNET.  
HTTP (Web browser).  
Other SNMP based management utility.  
Web BRAdmin.  
10 - 1 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION  
                             
These configuration methods are described in the following paragraphs.  
The IP address you assign to the print 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 Printer Control Panel to Allocate an IP  
Address (Printers with LCD Panels Only)  
Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for details on how to configure IP  
address information using the printer control panel. By using the  
control panel on the printer, you can program the IP address details  
at the same time that other printer parameters are configured.  
Changing the IP Address Using the BRAdmin  
Application  
Please use BRAdmin Professional version 1.59 or later.  
Start the BRAdmin application (from Windows® 95/98/Me, Windows  
NT®4.0 and Windows® 2000/XP).  
The BRAdmin application can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols  
to communicate with the Brother print server.  
If you wish to use the TCP/IP protocol to manage the print server  
make sure that the print server has a valid 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 find the Brother print  
server as an unconfigured device.  
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 10 - 2  
     
Using BRAdmin 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 server name (the default node name is  
BRN_xxxxxx, where xxxxxxis the last six digits of the  
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 printer settings page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide  
for information on how to print the settings page on your print  
server.  
3
4
Select the print server that you wish to configure and double  
click it. You will be asked for a password. The default password  
is access.  
Select the TCP/IP tab and set the IP address, Subnet mask  
and Gateway as needed.  
5
6
In the IP Config box, click the Static radio button.  
Click OK.  
Restart the print server by using BRAdmin, Web Browser or  
TELNET. If you are not sure how to restart the print server, you may  
simply turn the printer’s power switch off, and then switch it on.  
10 - 3 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION  
 
Using BRAdmin and the TCP/IP Protocol to Set  
the IP Address  
If your PC is using the TCP/IP protocol, do the following:  
1
2
Select TCP/IP filter in the left frame of the main window.  
Select the Device menu and choose the Search Active  
Devices.  
If the print server is set to its factory default settings, it will not  
appear in the BRAdmin screen. However, selecting the  
Search Active Devices option will force the BRAdmin  
Professional utility to find the device as an unconfigured  
device.  
3
4
Select the Device menu and choose Setup Unconfigured  
Device.  
Select the MAC address of your print server and click the  
Configure button.  
You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the  
printer settings page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for information  
on how to print the settings page on your print server.  
5
Enter the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway (if needed)  
of your print server.  
6
7
Click OK then select Close.  
With the correctly programmed IP address, you will see the  
Brother print server in the device list.  
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 10 - 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 or Novell NetWare network) the print 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 server configured via DHCP,  
BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT METHOD to static  
so that the print server has a static IP address. This will  
prevent the print server from trying to obtain an IP address  
from any of these systems. To change the BOOT METHOD,  
use the printer’s control panel (for those printers that have an  
LCD panel), TELNET (using the SET IP METHOD  
command), a Web browser or by using the BRAdmin  
application.  
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.  
10 - 5 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION  
         
Using ARP to Configure the Print Server IP  
Address  
If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application or the printer’s  
control panel (if applicable) 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 server and ipaddressis the IP address of the print  
server. For example:  
Windows® System  
Tipically, Windows® System requires the hyphen "-" character  
between each digit of the Ethernet address.  
arp -s 192.189.207.2 00-80-77-31-01-07  
Unix/Linux Systems  
Tipically, Unix and Linux Systems require the colon ":" character  
between each digit of the Ethernet address.  
arp -s 192.189.207.2 00:80:77:31:01:07  
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 10 - 6  
   
T
You must be on the same Ethernet segment (that is, there cannot  
be a router between the print 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  
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 server using the ARP command, you  
cannot use the ARP command again to change the address. The  
print server will ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to  
change the IP address again, use a Web Browser, TELNET  
(using the SET IP ADDRESS command) the printer’s control  
panel (if applicable) or factory reset the print server (which will  
then allow you to use the ARP command again).  
To configure the print server and to verify the connection,  
enter the following command ping ipaddresswhere  
ipaddressis the IP address of the print server. For  
example, ping 192.189.207.2.  
10 - 7 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION  
Using RARP to Configure the IP Address  
The Brother print 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 server and  
the second entry is the name of the print 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 server will get the IP address from the rarp daemon  
when the printer is powered on.  
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 10 - 8  
   
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 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:  
10 - 9 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION  
   
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 server will load its IP address from the BOOTP  
server when the printer is powered on.  
Configuring the IP Address with BRCONFIG  
Users of Novell networks have additional alternatives for configuring  
the IP address of Brother print servers by using the remote console  
facility.  
On a NetWare network, you can use the BRCONFIG utility which is  
included with every print server.  
Execute BRCONFIG from the Windows® menu. Select the  
corresponding server name from the list of print servers. When you  
get the message that the print server is connected, type the default  
password access in response to the “#” prompt.  
You will be prompted for a user name. Enter anything in response to  
this prompt.  
You will then get the Local>prompt. Type SET IP ADDRESS  
ipaddress, where ipaddressis the desired IP address you wish  
to assign to the print server (check with your network manager for the  
IP address to use). For example:  
Local> SET IP ADDRESS 192.189.207.3  
You will now need to set the subnet mask by typing SET IP SUBNET  
subnet mask, where subnet maskis the desired subnet mask  
you wish to assign to the print server (check with your network  
manager for the subnet mask to use). For example:  
Local> SET IP SUBNET 255.255.255.0  
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 10 - 10  
 
If you do not have any subnets, use one of the following default  
subnet masks:  
255.255.255.0 for class C networks  
255.255.0.0  
255.0.0.0  
for class B networks  
for class A networks  
The leftmost group of digits in your IP address can identify the type  
of network you have. The value of this group ranges from 192  
through 255 for Class C networks (e.g., 192.189.207.3), 128 through  
191 for Class B networks (e.g.,128.10.1.30), and 1 through 127 for  
Class A networks (e.g., 13.27.7.1).  
If you have a gateway (router), enter its address with the command  
SET IP ROUTER routeraddress, where routeraddressis the  
desired IP address of the gateway you wish to assign to the print  
server. For example:  
Local> SET IP ROUTER 192.189.207.1  
Type SET IP METHOD STATICto set the method of IP access  
configuration to static.  
To verify that you have entered the IP information correctly, type  
SHOW IP.  
Type EXITor CTR-D (i.e., hold down the control key and type "D")  
to end the remote console session.  
Changing the IP Address Settings with the  
TELNET Console  
You can also use the TELNET command to change the IP address.  
Using TELNET is effective way, when you change the IP address. But  
a valid IP address must already be programmed into the print server.  
If you are using the TELNET, you will be expected to enter the  
password of the print server. Press RETURN and enter the default  
password of accessin response to the "#" prompt (it will not echo).  
You will be prompted for a user name. Enter anything in response to  
this prompt.  
10 - 11 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION  
     
You will then get the Local>prompt. Type SET IP ADDRESS  
ipaddress, where ipaddressis the desired IP address you wish  
to assign to the print server (check with your network manager for the  
IP address to use). For example:  
Local> SET IP ADDRESS 192.189.207.3  
You will now need to set the subnet mask by typing SET IP SUBNET  
subnet mask, where subnet maskis the desired subnet mask  
you wish to assign to the print server (check with your network  
manager for the subnet mask to use). For example:  
Local> SET IP SUBNET 255.255.255.0  
If you do not have any subnets, use one of the following default  
subnet masks:  
255.255.255.0 for class C networks  
255.255.0.0  
255.0.0.0  
for class B networks  
for class A networks  
The leftmost group of digits in your IP address can identify the type  
of network you have. The value of this group ranges from 192  
through 255 for Class C networks (e.g., 192.189.207.3), 128 through  
191 for Class B networks (e.g.,128.10.1.30), and 1 through 127 for  
Class A networks (e.g., 13.27.7.1).  
If you have a gateway (router), enter its address with the command  
SET IP ROUTER routeraddress, where routeraddressis the  
desired IP address of the gateway you wish to assign to the print  
server. For example:  
Local> SET IP ROUTER 192.189.207.1  
Type SET IP METHOD STATICto set the method of IP access  
configuration to static.  
To verify that you have entered the IP information correctly, type  
SHOW IP.  
Type EXITor CTR-D (i.e., hold down the control key and type "D")  
to end the remote console session.

Installation Problems  
Intermittent Problems  
Protocol-Specific Troubleshooting  
Installation Problems  
If you cannot print over the network, check the following:  
1
Make sure that the printer is powered on, is on-line and ready to  
print.  
Verify that the printer and the configuration are good by printing  
the printer settings page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide. If the  
test fails, check:  
a
If the LED is not blinking after the device is connected to the  
network, the network firmware settings may be corrupted.  
Please consult your service representative.  
b
In this event, try to restore the factory default settings of the  
print server. To learn how to reset the print server, see  
Chapter 3 "Network factory default setting" on page 3-11 of  
the User's Guide. Once you have done that, switch the printer  
off and then on again, and try to print out the configuration  
page.  
11 - 1 TROUBLESHOOTING  
     
2
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 server from the host operating system  
command prompt with the command:  
ping ipaddress  
Where ipaddressis the print server IP address (note that in  
some instances it can take up to two minutes for the print  
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 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®:  
Make sure that you can see the print 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.  
TROUBLESHOOTING 11 - 2  
         
3
If you cannot make any of the connections in step 2, check the  
following:  
a
Make sure the printer 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.  
Brother print servers have two LEDs on the back panel of the  
printer. 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 server is not  
connected to the network.  
Link/Speed LED is orange: Fast Ethernet  
The Link/Speed LED will be orange if the print server is  
connected to a 100BaseTX Fast Ethernet network.  
Link/Speed LED is green: 10BaseT Ethernet  
The Link/Speed LED will blink if the print server is receiving or  
transmitting data.  
4
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 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 server  
and host computer, make sure that the device is set up to allow  
the print 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 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 server.  
11 - 3 TROUBLESHOOTING

If the job exits the queue but does not print, make sure that you  
are not trying to print a text job to a PostScript printer. If you  
have a printer that is capable of automatic language switching,  
make sure that the printer is not forced into PostScript mode.  
Intermittent Problems  
If the print server and printer start up OK, but you intermittently have  
problems printing, check the following:  
1
If you can print small jobs but large graphics jobs are distorted  
or incomplete, make sure that you have adequate memory in  
your printer and the latest printer driver installed on your  
computer. The latest Brother printer drivers can be downloaded  
2
Check the individual protocol troubleshooting sections in this  
chapter for additional causes of intermittent printer problems.  
TCP/IP Troubleshooting  
If you are using TCP/IP and cannot print to the print server and you  
have checked the hardware and network as described in the  
previous steps, then check the following:  
It is always a good idea to try following in order to eliminate  
the possibility of setup errors.  
Turning off the printer and then 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 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).  
TROUBLESHOOTING 11 - 4  
   
2
If you used BRCONFIG, NCP or to enter the IP address, make  
sure that you exited the remote console properly with a CTRL-  
D or EXIT and that you turned the printer off and then again (it  
may take up to two minutes for the IP address to take effect).  
3
4
Make sure that the TCP/IP protocol of the print server is  
enabled.  
If you used rarp, make sure that you started the rarp daemon on  
any workstation using the rarpd, rarpd-a, or equivalent  
command. Verify that the /etc/ethersfile contains the  
correct Ethernet address and that the print server name  
matches the name in the /etc/hostsfile.  
5
6
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 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.  
2
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 = :\  
11 - 5 TROUBLESHOOTING

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
7
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 you are having trouble printing more than one job at a time, try  
increasing the IP timeout using the SET IP TIMEOUT  
command or using BRAdmin.  
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  
8
9
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.  
10 If you are using Sun Solaris V2.4 or earlier, there is a bug which  
causes long print jobs to fail when using a print server. If you are  
having trouble printing long jobs (over 1MB), add the line mx#0  
to your etc/printcapfile entry.  
11 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 servers.  
TROUBLESHOOTING 11 - 6  
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® system or the LAN Server file  
server.  
2
If you are using DHCP and you have not created a reservation  
for the print server, make sure that you enter the NetBIOS name  
of the print 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  
keys to make it appear.

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 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 and Windows NT®4.0 Peer-to-  
Peer Print (NetBIOS) Troubleshooting  
If you are having trouble printing on a Windows® 95/98/Me, 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 or  
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 and Windows NT®4.0 computers.  
Press the ALT and TAB keys to make it appear.  
2
Make sure that the print 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 server to appear in the network  
neighborhood.  
TROUBLESHOOTING 11 - 8  
           
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 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 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  
11 - 9 TROUBLESHOOTING  
         
Get More Info option in Windows® 2000 not working  
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 will not function. If you  
wish to use the Get More Info 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 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 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 printer 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.  
TROUBLESHOOTING 11 - 10

2
If you changed the login password, you must change the  
password in both the Brother print server (using the SET  
NETWARE PASSWORDcommand if you are using the BRConfig  
software) or by using a web browser or the BRAdmin application  
and in the file server (using the PCONSOLE Print Server  
Information Change Passwordcommand).  
If you created the print queue using PCONSOLE and instead of  
BRAdmin, 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 server,  
and make sure it is defined as a Queue Server for the print queue.  
5
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  
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 server remote  
console or using BRAdmin.  
6
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  
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®.  
2
Make sure that the AppleTalk protocol of the print server is  
enabled.  
11 - 11 TROUBLESHOOTING

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 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, a web browser or  
the SET APPLETALK ZONEcommand from TELNET.  
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, a web browser or TELNET.  
Make sure that the MAC address of the Windows® setting is the  
same as shown in the print configuration page printout.  
Web Browser Troubleshooting (TCP/IP)  
1
If you can not connect to the print 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 server. This will stop your PC from trying to  
connect to your ISP or proxy server every time you wish to look  
at the printer 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.

Appendix A  
General Information  
You can change the configuration of your print server using any of  
the following methods.  
• Brother BRAdmin application for Windows® 95/98/Me, Windows  
NT®4.0 and Windows® 2000/XP  
• Brother Web BRAdmin application for IIS  
• HTTP (using a web browser)  
• WebJetAdmin Software  
*
• TELNET (command utility)  
• Brother BRCONFIG NetWare Utility (command utility)  
BRAdmin (Recommended)  
The Brother BRAdmin application can use the TCP/IP or IPX/SPX  
protocol. This utility allows you to graphically manage aspects of the  
network and printer. It can also be used to upgrade the firmware of  
the print server.  
Web BRAdmin  
The Web BRAdmin software is designed to manage all LAN/WAN  
Brother network connected devices. By installing the Web BRAdmin  
software on a computer running IIS*, Administrators with a Web  
browser can connect to the Web BRAdmin server, which then  
communicates with the device itself. Unlike the BRAdmin  
Professional utility - which is designed for Windows® systems only -  
the Web BRAdmin software can be accessed from any client  
computer with a web browser that supports Java.  
Please note this software may not be included on the CD-ROM that  
was supplied with your Brother product. If it was not, please visit  
http://solutions.brother.com/webbradmin to learn more about this  
software and to download it.  
IIS* = Internet Information Server 4.0 or 5.0  
A - 1 APPENDIX  
                   
HTTP (Recommended)  
Use your favorite web browser to connect to the Brother print server.  
This will allow you to configure printer and/or print server parameters.  
WebJetAdmin  
Brother's print server range is HP WebJetAdmin compatible.  
TELNET  
To connect to the print server using TELNET on UNIX, Windows  
NT®4.0, or most other TCP/IP systems, type: TELNET ipaddress  
at the command prompt of the system prompt, where ipaddress is  
the IP address of the print server. When you are connected, push  
RETURN or ENTER to get the "#" prompt, enter the password  
access(the password will not appear on the screen), and type  
anything in response to the Enter Username> prompt. When you  
see the Local> prompt, you are ready to enter commands.  
Enter HELP at the command prompt for a list of supported  
commands.  
BRCONFIG  
The Brother BRCONFIG utility runs from the DOS system prompt  
and is installed with BRAdmin. To connect the print server using the  
Brother BRCONFIG NetWare utility, choose the BRCONFIG utility  
from the Brother BRAdmin utilities menu. If you have only one print  
server, you will be immediately connected to that server. If you have  
more than one print server, you will be given a list of available print  
servers. Type the number of the print server to which you wish to  
connect. When you are connected, enter the password access(the  
password will not appear on the screen) at the "#" prompt, and type  
anything in response to the Enter Username> prompt. When you  
get the Local> prompt, you are ready to enter commands. To use  
BRCONFIG, a Novell Server (running the IPX protocol) is necessary  
and an active connection must be made to the server.  
Enter HELP at the command prompt for a list of supported  
commands.  
APPENDIX A - 2  
         
Using Services  
General  
A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish  
to print to the Brother print server. The Brother print server provides  
the following predefined services (do a SHOW SERVICE command  
in the Brother print server remote console to see a list of available  
services): Enter HELP at the command prompt for a list of supported  
commands.  
Service (Example)  
BINARY_P1  
Definition  
TCP/IP binary, NetBIOS service.  
TCP/IP text service (adds carriage return  
after each line feed).  
TEXT_P1  
PostScript service (switches PJL-  
compatible printer to PostScript mode).  
POSTSCRIPT_P1  
PCL_P1  
PCL service (switches PJL-compatible  
printer to PCL mode).  
AppleTalk and LPD service for Mac OS® 8.6  
or later.  
BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT  
BRN_xxxxxx_P1  
NetWare service (TCP/IP is enabled for  
backwards compatibility).  
Where xxxxxxis the last six digits of the Ethernet address (for  
example, BRN_310107_P1).  
A - 3 APPENDIX  
       
Reloading the Print Server Firmware  
General  
The firmware on the print server is stored in flash memory. This  
means that you can upgrade the firmware by downloading the  
appropriate update file. To get the latest firmware update, visit the  
Brother Solutions web site at http://solutions.brother.com/  
Some software versions that we provide will automatically  
factory reset your print server parameters. We try to avoid  
doing this. However, if we add a significant new feature to our  
print server, it can result in the print server being factory  
reset.  
Because of this, we STRONGLY recommend that you make a note  
of the current print server configuration before you upgrade. To do  
this, print out a configuration page (refer to your Quick Setup Guide  
for information on how to print a configuration page).  
There are three methods of upgrading the firmware in your Brother  
print server:  
1
2
Use the BRAdmin application (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 server).  
APPENDIX A - 4  
       
Reloading Firmware Using BRAdmin  
The BRAdmin application can be used to easily re-program your  
Brother print server.  
1
2
Start BRAdmin.  
Highlight the appropriate print server. Then select the Control  
menu and choose Load Firmware. You can select more than  
one print server by pressing CTRL+<select> or SHIFT+<select>  
on each additional print 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 server is access.  
3
4
TFTP PUT from this host  
Use this method if you have TCP/IP already installed on your  
PC. BRAdmin will use the TFTP protocol to send the new  
firmware data to the print 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 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 server can  
read the file. On Unix systems you can use the chmod command to  
specify file attributes. For example, chmod filename 666  
allows the filename to be accessed by anyone. Also make sure that  
the TFTP service is running on your Unix server.  
5
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  
server read the firmware data from the assigned NetWare  
server, the print server attaches to the NetWare server and  
reads the firmware itself.  
A - 5 APPENDIX  
         
Reloading Process  
The Data LED on the printer control panel will blink during the  
firmware file loading process. During programming process, the  
backlight on the printer’s LCD goes off, and Erase xxxxxx and Write  
xxxxxx will be indicated alternately on the LCD. After the firmware  
update is completed, the printer will re-start automatically. DO NOT  
TURN OFF THE PRINTER DURING THESE PROCESSES.  
If the Data LED does not stop blinking after about two minutes, check  
to make sure that you correctly entered all parameters and that your  
network connections are good. Then power the print server/printer  
off and then on again, to retry the download.  
If you encounter problems upgrading the firmware and you  
find that the network portion of the printer no longer functions,  
you should try re-programming the print server by using the  
COPY command from the DOS prompt of your PC. To do  
this, connect a parallel cable between your PC and printer  
and use the command COPY filename LPT1:/B(where  
filenameis the new firmware file).  
APPENDIX A - 6  
 
Reloading Using the FTP Protocol from a  
Command Prompt  
By specifying the print server PASSWORD AS THE USERNAME  
when logging on, it becomes possible to upgrade the firmware of the  
print server or printer (if supported). The following example assumes  
that the print server password is "cambridge"  
D:\>ftp  
ftp> open 220.0.250.200  
Connected to 220.0.250.200.  
220 FTP print service:V-1.05/Use the network  
password for the ID if updating.  
User (220.0.250.200:(none)): cambridge  
230 User cambridge logged in.  
ftp> bin  
200 Ready command OK.  
ftp> hash  
Hash mark printing on ftp: (2048 bytes/hash mark) .  
ftp> send brnt261.blf  
200 Ready command OK.  
150 Transfer Start  
#################################################  
########  
#################################################  
#################################################  
#################################################  
###########################  
226 Data Transfer OK/Entering FirmWareUpdate mode.  
ftp: 1498053 bytes sent in 8.52Seconds  
175.77Kbytes/sec.  
ftp> close  
226 Data Transfer OK.  
ftp> quit  
When you see "226 Data Transfer OK/Entering FirmWareUpdate  
mode", you can be sure that the firmware file is being transferred to  
the print 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.
