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 OS/X 10.2, Apple

®

introduced support for Simple

Network Configuration capabilities. Simple Network Configuration
supports automatic network configuration. If you choose to use the
Simple Network Configuration of your product, you usually do not
need to configure any IP address settings yourself.
