CHAPTER 12 UNIX PRINTING
12-2
TCP/IP
Brother Print / Fax servers appear to the network as a UNIX host computer with
a unique IP address running the lpd, line printer daemon, protocol. As a result,
any host computer that supports the Berkeley remote LPR command can spool
jobs to Brother Print / Fax servers without the need for any special software on
the host computer. For special applications, raw TCP ports are also available.
The Brother NC-8100h Print / Fax server also support the FTP protocol. This
protocol can be used to send print jobs from Unix systems.
The Brother Print / Fax server is pre-configured to run on a TCP/IP network with
a minimum of setup. The only mandatory configuration the Print / Fax server is
the allocation of an IP address, which can be either automatically assigned using
DHCP, BOOTP etc., or manually assigned using the ARP command, BRAdmin,
the MFC’s front panel, etc.
For setting the IP address of the Print / Fax server, refer to chapter 1 of this user
guide.
