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, which can be either
automatically assigned using DHCP, BOOTP etc., or manually
assigned using the ARP command, BRAdmin or the printer control
panel (if applicable).
For setting the IP address of the print server, refer to the
Quick Setup Guide or to chapter 12 of this user guide.
