4 - 4 NETWORK PRINTING FROM WINDOWS
®
(Peer to Peer)
NC9100h_FM6.0
For Windows
®
98/Me users
Overview
Microsoft's Windows
®
98/Me operating systems feature built-in
networking capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows
®
PC to
be configured as a client workstation in a file server based network
environment.
For smaller networks, Windows
®
98/Me also allows the PC to
operate in a peer-to-peer mode. In this mode, the PC can share
resources with other PCs on the network without the need for a
central file server.
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 control panel. For more
information, see
page 3-14. If the APIPA protocol is disabled,
the default IP address of a Brother Print/Scan server is
192.0.0.192. To change it, use the machine’s control panel, the
BRAdmin Professional utility software or let your DHCP server
allocate an IP address to the printer.

Refer to chapter 2 of this user guide to learn how to configure
the IP address on your machine.

the file in an E-mail to other users. By simply running the attached
executable file the user automatically installs and configures the
printer driver, port driver and IP address to their PC.
