Overview
Brother's Print Server range supports SMB (Server Message Block) over the TCP/IP
protocol via the NetBIOS interface. This means that just like regular Windows PC’s,
Brother printers can appear in your network neighborhood. The main advantage of
NetBIOS printing is that you are able to print from legacy DOS applications that are
running on PC’s that are connected to Microsoft networks.
Quick Tips:
1. The default IP address of Brother print servers is 192.0.0.192. To change it,
use the print front panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin utility, the printer
front panel, or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer
2. Refer to chapter 12 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP
address on your printer.
3. The default password for Brother print servers is "access".
4. The default domain name of the print server is WORKGROUP, to change it
use your web browser or the BRAdmin application.
