Your Brother Printer is compatible with the standard Apple LaserWriter
8 printer driver (earlier versions of the LaserWriter drivers may crash
or cause PostScript errors on large networks). If you do not have the
LaserWriter 8 driver you must install it. Consult your Macintosh
documentation for instructions on how to do this.

The default name that will appear in the Chooser of a
Macintosh

will usually be BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT (where
xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the Ethernet address)

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 machine using a web browser and then click on
Network Configuration. Enter the password (the
default password is access) then select Configure
AppleTalk. Click on BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT, then on
Service Name. Enter the new name that you wish to
appear in Chooser. Then click on Submit.

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol
automatically assigns an IP address from the range:
169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable
the APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using the machine
control panel. For more information, see APIPA on page
10-9. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP
address of a Brother Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To
change it, use the control panel, the BRAdmin
Professional utility, Web BRAdmin software or let your
DHCP server allocate an IP address to the machine.
