Overview
Brother's Brother Internet Print (BIP) software, for Windows
®
95/98/
Me and Windows NT
®
4.0, allows a PC user at one location to send
a print job to a Brother Printer at a remote location via the Internet.
For example, a user on a PC in New York could print a document
directly from his Microsoft Excel application program to a printer in
Paris.
Windows
®
2000/XP users can also use this BIP software, but are
recommended to use the IPP protocol support that is part of the
Windows
®
2000/XP operating systems. Skip to the “Windows

Quick Tips:
1
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.

To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see
Chapter 11 of this User’s Guide.

The default password for Brother Print/Fax servers is access.
