Configuring your network printer

Overview

Before you can use your Brother machine on your network, you need to install the Brother software and also

configure the appropriate TCP/IP network settings on the machine itself. To do this, we recommend that you

use the automatic installer on the Brother CD-ROM as this will guide you through the software and network

installation.

If you do not wish to use the automatic installer, or you do not understand some of the terms used by the

automatic installer, refer to the remainder of this chapter for more information.

Note

If you do not wish to, or are unable to use the automatic installer or any of Brother’s software tools, you can

also use the machine’s control panel to change network settings. For more information, see Front Panel

Setup on page 3-1.

IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways

To use the machine in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure its IP address and subnet

mask. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host

computers. If it is not, you must properly configure the subnet mask and the gateway address.

IP address

An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each device connected to a network. An IP address

consists of four numbers separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255.

Example: In a small network, you would normally change the final number.

192.168.1.1

, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3

If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server in your network (typically a UNIX

/Linux or Windows

2000/XP

network) the print server will automatically obtain its IP address from the DHCP server.

Note

On smaller networks, the DHCP server may be the Router.
