Quick Tips:
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.
1 The default name that will appear in the Chooser of a
Macintosh
®
will usually be BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT (where
xxxxxx is 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 machine 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.
3 Mac OS
®
8.6 or later supports TCP/IP printing.
4 The default password for Brother print servers is
access .
5 To print a printer settings page, see Resetting the Print/
Fax Sever back to factory settings (Test Switch) on page
13-4.
6 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.
