the EtherTalk protocol from the
Network Control Panel
on the

The appropriate PPD file supplied with your machine must first be
installed. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your
computer. Select the

How to Select the Print Server
(AppleTalk/EtherTalk)
Once the Print/Fax server is connected on your network and the
machine is powered on, the Brother print server’s AppleTalk service
name (default is

xxxxxx
is the last six
digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address) should appear in the
Chooser

You can find the service name and MAC address by printing
out the configuration page. For information on how to print
the configuration page on your print server, see

Print/Fax Sever back to factory settings (Test Switch)
