Before using your Brother printer in a network environment you need to configure the correct TCP/IP settings.
For more information, see Changing the print server settings on page 15.
In this section, you will learn how to configure the network settings using the control panel, located on top of
the printer.
The LAN menu selections of the control panel allow you to set up the Brother printer for your network
configuration. Press any of the Menu buttons (+, -, OK or Back), and press the + or - button to move forward
or backward through the menus until LAN is displayed. Press the OK button to move to the next menu level.
Press the + or - button to proceed to the menu selection you wish to configure.
Please note that the printer is supplied with the BRAdmin Light utility and Web Based Management (web
browser), which can also be used to configure many aspects of the network. See Changing the print server
settings on page 15.

On connection to the network, if the printer's 'BOOT Method' is 'Auto' the printer will attempt to automatically set the IP address and Subnet Mask
from a boot server such as DHCP or BOOTP. If a boot server cannot be found, an APIPA IP address will be allocated, such as
169. 254. [001-254]. [000-255]. If the 'BOOT Method' of the printer is set to 'Static' you will need to manually enter an IP address from the printer's
control panel.
