In this mode, the print server uses the read-write access of version 3 and the read-only access of version 1 and version 2c of the SNMP protocol. When you use SNMPv3 read-write access and v1/v2c read-only access mode, some Brother applications (such as BRAdmin Light) that access the print server do not work correctly since they authorize the read-only access of version 1 and version 2c. If you want to use all applications, we recommend using SNMP v1/v2c read-write access mode.

Home > Security > Network Security Features > Manage Your Network Machine Securely Using IPsec > Introduction to IPsec Introduction to IPsec IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) is a security protocol that uses an optional Internet Protocol function to prevent manipulation and ensure the confidentiality of data transmitted as IP packets. IPsec encrypts data carried over the network, such as print data sent from computers to a printer.
Home > Security > Network Security Features > Manage Your Network Machine Securely Using IPsec > Configure IPsec Using Web Based Management Configure IPsec Using Web Based Management The IPsec connection conditions are comprised of two Template types: Address and IPsec. You can configure up to 10 connection conditions. 1. Start your web browser. 2. Type "http://machine's IP address" in your browser's address bar (where "machine's IP address" is the machine's IP address). For example: http://192.168.1.2 3.
In Main mode, the processing speed is slow, but the security is high. In Aggressive mode, the processing speed is faster than Main mode, but the security is lower. 9. In the All Non-IPsec Traffic field, select the action to be taken for non-IPsec packets. When using Web Services, you must select Allow for All Non-IPsec Traffic. If you select Drop, Web Services cannot be used. 10. In the Broadcast/Multicast Bypass field, select Enabled or Disabled. 11.

Home > Troubleshooting > Improve the Print Quality Improve the Print Quality If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first. If the printout looks good, the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable connections and try printing a different document. If the printout or test page printed from the machine has a quality problem, check the examples of poor print quality and follow the recommendations in the table.
Examples of poor print quality ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ. 0123456789. abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ. 0123456789. abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.

Recommendation • Wipe the laser scanner windows with a dry, soft lintfree cloth. • Wipe the scanner glass strip with a dry lint free soft cloth.
Examples of poor print quality Recommendation • Make sure the media type setting in the printer driver matches the type of paper you are using. • Check the machine’s environment. Conditions such as high humidity can cause hollow print. • If the problem is not solved after printing a few pages, the drum may have foreign material, such as glue from a label, stuck on the drum surface. Clean the drum unit. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ. 0123456789. abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.
Examples of poor print quality Recommendation • Make sure Toner Save mode is off in the LCD or the printer driver. • If the print quality of the black portion is not what you expected, select the Enhance Black Printing check box in the printer driver. • Clear the Improve Gray Color check box in the printer driver. • Identify the color causing the problem and put in a new toner cartridge. To identify the color of the toner cartridge, visit the Brother Solutions Center at support.brother.
Examples of poor print quality Recommendation • Check the machine’s environment. Conditions such as low humidity and low temperatures may cause this print quality problem. • Make sure the media type setting in the printer driver matches the type of paper you are using. • Make sure the two gray levers inside the back cover are in the up position. • Install a new drum unit. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ. 0123456789. abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ. 0123456789.
