AppleTalk (EtherTalk)
TCP/IP Printing
Printing From a Macintosh
Overview
Brother Print Server's 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.
Quick Tips:
1. The default name that will appear in the Chooser of a Macintosh will be
BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT (where xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the Ethernet
address)
2. From a Macintosh network, the easiest way to change this name is to assign
an IP address to the printer and then use a Web browser to change the name.
Connect to the print using a web browser and click on "Network
Configuration", enter the password and select "Configure AppleTalk", Click
"BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT", on the Service Name, enter the new name that you
wish to appear in the Chooser and click on "Submit". Switch the printer off
and then on and the new name will appear in chooser.
3. System 8.6 or later supports TCP/IP printing.
4. The default password for Brother print servers is "access".
5. One way to print that details all network settings is to print a configuration
page, press the TEST button on the back of the print server.
6. 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.
