Configuring DLC on Other Systems
To use DLC on other network systems, you will generally need
vendor-supplied software. Typically such software will support the
Brother print servers. Follow the vendor's instructions to install the
DLC protocol on your system.
Once the protocol is installed, create a network port in the same way
that you did for Windows NT
®
4.0 in the previous sections. The MAC
address (Ethernet address) of the print server should automatically
appear during the configuration process.
The final step is to create a printer using the normal operating system
printer setup method. The only difference is that instead of
connecting the printer to the LPT1 parallel port, you point it to the
network port you just created.
You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the
printer
settings
page. Refer to the
Quick Setup
Guide for
information on how to print the
settings
page on your print server.
