You should now be able to print. To test the queue, type the following from either the OS/2
command prompt or from a DOS workstation:

7

COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS \\servername\alias

8

Where

servername

is the name of the file server and

alias

is the alias name that you specified

during this configuration process. This should print the

CONFIG.SYS

file on the printer. Note that if

you selected a binary service as the LPD printer name, the lines will be staggered; don't worry about
this because normal DOS, Windows

®

, and OS/2 applications will print OK.

The Brother print server will appear as a standard OS/2 printer to application programs. To make
the print server operate transparently with DOS programs, execute the following command on each
workstation:

10

NET USE LPT1: \\servername\alias

11

This will make the printer appear to the software as a printer that is directly connected to the parallel
port of the workstation.
