Web Browser Management
Many Brother printers support Embedded Web Server (EWS) technology.
This means that you can use a standard web browser to manage many
aspects of the printer; for example, you can view consumable life, configure
network parameters, view serial number information, printer usage, and so
on. Start your web browser and enter the NetBIOS name, DNS name or IP
address of the printer.

BRAdmin professional
The BRAdmin Professional software is designed to manage your Brother
network connected devices. For example, Brother network ready printers and
Brother network ready Multifunction devices can be managed using the
BRAdmin Professional software. The BRAdmin Professional software can
also be used to manage devices from other manufacturers whose products
support the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).

Storage Manager
Brother Storage Manager software can manipulate the printer forms that you
may have stored in the internal flash memory.
You can print the fixed form document at any time from the control panel.
To make the fixed documents print, you must first write Fonts, Macros or
fixed forms to the memory of your printer.

Driver Deployment Wizard
This installer includes the Windows PCL driver and Brother network port
driver (LPR and NetBIOS). The administrator should set up the IP address,
Gateway and Subnet with BRAdmin Professional before using this software.
If the administrator then installs the printer driver and port driver using this
software, he can save the file to the File server or send the file in E-mail to
users. Then, each user just clicks that file to have the printer driver, port
driver, IP address, and so on, automatically copied to their PC.
