LaserWriter 8 driver you must install it. Consult your Macintosh
documentation for instructions on how to do this.

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 t
he 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.
