How to use a Web Browser to
manage your Device
Overview
A standard Web Browser (we recommend Netscape Navigator
version 4.0 or later/Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later)
can be used to manage your printer using the HTTP (Hyper Text
Transfer Protocol). You can get the following information from a
printer on your network using a web browser:
1
Printer status information.
2
Take control of the printer’s control panel.
3
Software version information of the printer and print server.
4
Change network and printer configuration details.
You must use the TCP/IP protocol on your network and have a valid
IP address programmed into the print server and your computer.
Quick Tips:
1
The default IP address of Brother print servers is
192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer’s control panel, the
BRAdmin application, or let your DHCP server allocate an IP
address to the printer.
2
Refer to chapter 12 of this user guide to learn how to configure
the IP address on your printer.
3
The default password for Brother print servers is access.
4
You can use a web browser on most computing platforms, for
example, Macintosh and Unix users are also able to connect to
the printer and manage it.
