REGULATIONS INTRODUCTION Overview Brother print servers allow multiple host computers to share a Brother printer on an 10Mbit or 100Mbit Ethernet network. Any user can print their job as if the printer was directly connected to their computer. No special software is required on the host computers and application programs run without any modification.
CHAPTER 1 NOVELL NETWARE CONFIGURATION CHAPTER 1 NOVELL NETWARE CONFIGURATION Brother print servers allow NetWare client PCs to print jobs on the same printer as DEC, TCP/IP, AppleTalk, NetBIOS and Banyan users. All NetWare jobs are spooled through the Novell server. General Information In order to use Brother print servers on a NetWare network, one or more file servers must be configured with a print queue that the print server can service.
USER’S GUIDE Creating a Print Queue Using BRAdmin or BRAdmin32 Brothers BRAdmin utilities are Windows-based applications that provide similar functionality to the Netware PCONSOLE utility (or the NWADMIN utility in Netware 4.1x). To use the BRAdmin programs to configure a Brother print server under NetWare, make sure that you are logged in as SUPERVISOR (NetWare 2.xx or 3.xx) or ADMIN (NetWare 4.
CHAPTER 1 NOVELL NETWARE CONFIGURATION Configuring the Brother Print Server (Queue Server Mode in Bindery emulation mode) 1. Start the appropriate BRAdmin program. 2. One or more print server will appear in the list (the default node names are BRO_xxxxxx_P1 or BRO_xxxxxx, where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address). 3. Select the print server that you wish to configure and double click it. You will be asked for a password. The default password is "access". 4. Select the Netware tab.
USER’S GUIDE Configuring the Brother Print Server (Queue Server Mode in NDS mode) using BRAdmin32 1. Make sure that you logged in as SUPERVISOR (Netware 2.xx or 3.xx) or ADMIN (Netware 4.xx). 2. Start the BRAdmin32 program. 3. One or more print server services will appear in the list of printers (the default node names are BRO_xxxxxx_P1 or BRO_xxxxxx, where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address). 4. Select the printer that you wish to configure and double click it.
USER’S GUIDE Configuring the Brother Print Server (Queue Server Mode in NDS mode) using Novell NWADMIN and BRAdmin/BRAdmin32 1. Make sure that you are logged in as ADMIN in NDS mode on the NetWare 4.1x file server and start the NWADMIN application. 2. Select desired Context that will contain the Printer and then click on Object from the menu bar and then Create. When you get the New Object menu, select Printer and then OK. 3. Enter the name of the printer and select Create. 4.
CHAPTER 1 NOVELL NETWARE CONFIGURATION 13. Double click on the name of your print server. Click on Assignments and then Add... 14. If necessary, change the directory context.

USER’S GUIDE Configuring the Brother Print Server (Remote Server Mode in NDS mode) using Novell NWAdmin and BRAdmin/BRAdmin32 To configure a Brother print server for remote printer mode with NWADMIN (NetWare Administrator utility) and BRAdmin or BRAdmin32, you will need to perform the following steps: 1. Make sure that the PSERVER NLM (NetWare Loadable Module) is loaded on your file server and that you are logged in as ADMIN in NDS mode on the NetWare 4.1x file server. 2.
CHAPTER 1 NOVELL NETWARE CONFIGURATION 14. Double click the appropriate print server. You will be prompted for a password, the default password is “access”. 15. Now select the NetWare tab. 16. Select Remote Printer as the Operating Mode, select the name of your PSERVER NLM as the Print Server Name and select the number of the printer from step 6 as the Printer Number. ✒ Note The same service assigned by Netware print server cannot be used for both queue server mode and remote printer mode.
USER’S GUIDE 3. If you did not specify the print server name in the BRCONFIG command, select the corresponding server name from the list of print servers. 4. When you get the message that the print server is connected, type the default password “access” in response to the "#" prompt (the password will not echo), and then press the ENTER key in response to the Enter Username> prompt. 5.
USER’S GUIDE 14. Press ESCAPE several times until you return to the Available Options menu. 15. Force the print server to rescan file servers for print jobs. You may either turn the printer off and on again or you may down the print server in PCONSOLE as follows: • In the Available Options menu, highlight Print Server Information, and press ENTER. • Select the print server name (BRO_xxxxxx_P1) and press ENTER. If you have NetWare 4.

Make sure that the new queue name is highlighted, and press ENTER. 9. Select Print Servers and press ENTER to specify which network print servers can print jobs from this print queue.
USER’S GUIDE • Where tree is the NDS tree name. • Where context is the name of context where the print server resides. • Service is the name of the service assigned by Netware print server name (where the default services are BRO_xxxxxx_P1 for the Brother printer, where “xxxxxx” is the last six digits of the Ethernet address.
CHAPTER 1 NOVELL NETWARE CONFIGURATION Configuring the Brother Print Server (Remote Printer Mode using PCONSOLE and BRCONFIG 1. Make sure that the PSERVER NLM (NetWare Loadable Module) is loaded on your file server. 2. Log into the file server from your PC workstation as ADMIN if you are using NetWare 4.1x (if you want NDS support, do not login under bindery mode). If you are using NetWare 2.xx or 3.xx, login as SUPERVISOR. 3. Run the PCONSOLE utility from your PC workstation. 4.
USER’S GUIDE i. The other settings in the menu are not required. Push ESCAPE several times to exit PCONSOLE. j. Skip to the Assigning the remote printer name and number sections below. The following steps apply to configuring a remote printer on NetWare 3.xx systems: 6. a. Select Print Server Information from the PCONSOLE main menu and choose the name of the PSERVER NLM. b. Select Print Server Configuration and then Printer Configuration. Select any "Not Installed" printer and press Enter.
USER’S GUIDE Assigning the Remote printer name and number using BRAdmin/BRAdmin32 7. a. Start the BRAdmin program and double click the print server you wish to configure. The default password is “access”. b. Select the Netware tab. c. Make sure that the Operating Mode is set to Remote Printer. d. Select the correct print server and the correct Printer Number. e.

CHAPTER 1 NOVELL NETWARE CONFIGURATION For example, to set up remote “Printer 3” for an Brother printer with the print server BRO_00C3E4_P1 using the PSERVER NLM called BROTHER1PS, you would type: SET NETWARE NPRINTER BROTHER1PS 3 ON BRO_00C3E4_P1 SET NETWARE RESCAN EXIT • You can also enter the remote printer name using your web browser by connecting to the Brother print server using the TCP/IP protocol and selecting the Netware protocol configuration.
CHAPTER 2 UNIX NETWORK CONFIGURATION (TCP/IP) CHAPTER 2 UNIX NETWORK CONFIGURATION (TCP/IP) Brother Print Servers are supplied with the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. Since virtually all UNIX host computers support TCP/IP, this capability allows a printer to be shared on a UNIX Ethernet network.
USER’S GUIDE The actual format of the entry may vary depending on your system, so check your system documentation and also note the format of other entries in the etc/hosts file. ✒ Note • The node name in this file does not necessarily need to be the same as the one that is actually configured into the Brother print server (the name that appears on the printer configuration page), however, it is good practice to make the names the same.
USER’S GUIDE Configure the /etc/printcap file on each host computer to specify the local print queue, the print server name (also called remote machine or rm), and the print server service name (also called remote printer, remote queue, or rp), and the spool directory. An example of a typical printcap file: laser1|Printer on Floor 1:\ :lp=:\ :rm=BRO_003C51:\ :rp=TEXT_P1:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/laser1: ✒ Note Make sure this information is added to the end of the printcap file.
CHAPTER 2 UNIX NETWORK CONFIGURATION (TCP/IP) If you have an HP/UX system, IBM RS/6000 AIX computer, or Sun Solaris 2.xx, there is no printcap file. This is also true for some other AT&T-based UNIX systems, as well as many VMS-based TCP/IP software packages (for example, UCX, TGV Multinet, etc.). Such systems generally use a printer setup program to define the service name (remote printer), the print server name (remote machine) or IP address, and the local queue name (spool directory).
USER’S GUIDE Sun Solaris 2.x Configuration Sun Solaris 2.x uses the lpsystem and lpadmin programs for remote printer configuration: lpsystem -t bsd queue lpadmin -p queue -sprnservername!prnserverservice accept queue enable queue • • • Where queue is the name of the local print queue. prnservername is the name of the print server (must match the entry in the /etc/hosts file). prnserverservice is the print server Binary or Text service.
CHAPTER 2 UNIX NETWORK CONFIGURATION (TCP/IP) - - Press the F3 key to get a list of available interface, and select the desired one as the Name of interface using the cursor keys (“Dumb” is a good choice). Select “Direct” as the Connection. Enter the desired Device name (/dev/lp generally works). Select "Hardwired" as the Device. Select "No" for the Require banner field.
USER’S GUIDE Other Systems Other systems use similar programs to set up Print servers. These programs will generally ask for the following information: Requested information: remote printer remote host computer name remote host IP address You should use: Binary or Text service name Any name (must match the name in the printcap file, if any) or in some cases, you may enter the print server IP address here IP address of print server.
CHAPTER 2 UNIX NETWORK CONFIGURATION (TCP/IP) d) e) f) g) h) The UNIX arp command. DEC NCP, NCL, or ccr utilities Brother BRCONFIG NetWare utility (A Novell Network is necessary) BRAdmin (Novell Network necessary) Serial port (If your print server has a serial interface) The following step (i,j,k) is effective way, when you change IP address. i) TELNET (A valid IP address must already be programmed into the print server). j) HTTP (A valid IP address must already be programmed into the card print server).
USER’S GUIDE The BRAdmin32 utility can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols to communicate with the Brother print server. As the default IP address of Brother print servers is 192.0.0.192, this means that the print server will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme on your network. If you are not using DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you will probably want to change the IP address. There are two ways that you can do this from within BRAdmin32.
CHAPTER 2 UNIX NETWORK CONFIGURATION (TCP/IP) ✒ Note You can find the MAC address on the serial number label on the print server itself, or you can see it by printing the configuration page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for information on how to print the configuration page on your print server. NC-2100h users should note that the original BRAdmin32 utility will not find the NC-2100h print server.
USER’S GUIDE Using arp to Configure the Print Server IP Address Arp is the simplest method of configuring the print server IP address. To use, arp, enter the following command at the UNIX system prompt: arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress where ethernetaddress is the Ethernet address of the print server and ipaddress is the IP address of the print server. For example: arp -s 192.189.207.
USER’S GUIDE If the rarp daemon is not already running, start it (depending on the system the command can be rarpd, rarpd -a, in.rarpd -a or something else; type man rarpd or refer to your system documentation for additional information).
CHAPTER 2 UNIX NETWORK CONFIGURATION (TCP/IP) Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to BOOTP requests if you have not included a download filename in the configuration file; if this is the case, simply create a null file on the host and specify the name of this file and its path in the configuration file. As with rarp, the print server will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the printer is powered on.
CHAPTER 2 UNIX NETWORK CONFIGURATION (TCP/IP) On a NetWare networks, you can use the BRAdmin utilities or the command line BRCONFIG utility which are included with every print server. b. If you are using the remote console, you will get the message Console connected (VMS) or Connection established (BRCONFIG) or Remote console reserved (ULTRIX). Press RETURN and enter the default password “access” in response to the "#" prompt (it will not echo). c. You will be prompted for a user name.
USER’S GUIDE Before attempting to print It is very important to verify the connection between the host and the print server by using the ping command with the IP address you have set. For example: ping 192.189.207.3 You should get a message that the print server is alive. If you get an error message or no response, then there is no connection. You will not be able to print if you cannot ping the print server.
CHAPTER 2 UNIX NETWORK CONFIGURATION (TCP/IP) IP Security Brother print servers provide a means of allowing only host computers with authorized IP addresses to access the print server. This is very useful for applications where general access to the printer is not allowed.
CHAPTER 3 WINDOWS NT AND LAN SERVER NETWORK CONFIGURATION (TCP/IP) CHAPTER 3 WINDOWS NT AND LAN SERVER NETWORK CONFIGURATION (TCP/IP) Users of Windows NT can print directly to Brother print servers using the TCP/IP protocol and/or the DLC/LLC protocol (see chapter 4 for instructions). Microsoft Windows NT 3.5x and NT 4.0 users must install Microsoft's "TCP/IP printing" protocol.
USER’S GUIDE d. Click on the Services tab, click on Add and double click on Microsoft TCP/IP Printing. e. Again insert the requested disk (s) or CD-ROM. f. Click on the Protocols tab when then copying is finished. Double click on the TCP/IP Protocol option and add the host IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. Consult your system manager for these addresses. If you are not directly connected to the Internet, you may assign any arbitrary Class C address in the form aaa.bbb.ccc.
CHAPTER 3 WINDOWS NT AND LAN SERVER NETWORK CONFIGURATION (TCP/IP) Configuring an IP address for the Print Server You must now set an IP address into the Brother Print Server. There are several ways of doing this: If your printer has an LCD panel you can use the front panel buttons to change the IP address, subnet mask and gateway addresses. Refer to Quick Setup Guide for instructions on how to do this. You can also use the BRadmin32 Windows utility to change the IP address.
USER’S GUIDE 3. Select “Device” menu and choose “Setup Unconfigured device”. 4. Select the TCP/IP tab and set the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway as needed. 5. Click OK. If your PC has only the TCP/IP protocol, do the following: 1. Select TCP/IP filter in the left frame of the main window. 2. Select the “Device” menu and choose the “Search Active Devices”.
CHAPTER 3 WINDOWS NT AND LAN SERVER NETWORK CONFIGURATION (TCP/IP) Changing the IP Address using the ARP command If your printer does not have a LCD panel and you cannot use the BRAdmin32 utility, you can use the “arp -s” command from the DOS prompt: arp -s 192.189.207.
USER’S GUIDE Verify that you can communicate with the Brother Print server by using the ping command with the IP address or name (if you have edited your HOSTS file). For example: ping 192.189.207.77 Again, substitute your actual name or IP address. You should get a response back from the Brother print server if the IP address has been set and the print server is alive on the network. If you do not, print the configuration page and verify that the IP address has changed.
CHAPTER 3 WINDOWS NT AND LAN SERVER NETWORK CONFIGURATION (TCP/IP) 6. Type in the print server service name in the Name of printer or print queue on that server: box. If you do not know which service name to use, enter BINARY_P1 and then click on OK: 7. Click on the Close button. 8.

CHAPTER 4 WINDOWS 95/98 PEER-TO-PEER CONFIGURATION CHAPTER 4 WINDOWS 95/98 PEER-TO-PEER CONFIGURATION Microsoft's Windows 95/98 operating system features built-in networking capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows 95/98 PC to be configured as a client workstation in a NetWare, Windows NT, PATHWORKS, LAN Server, and Banyan VINES environment. For smaller networks, Windows 95/98 also allows the PC to operate in a peer-to-peer mode.
USER’S GUIDE The BRAdmin32 utility can use the IPX/SPX or TCP/IP protocols to communicate with the Brother print server. As the default IP address of Brother print servers is 192.0.0.192, this means that the print server will probably be incompatible with the IP address numbering scheme on your network. If you are not using DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you will probably want to change the IP address. There are two ways that you can do this from within BRAdmin32.
CHAPTER 4 WINDOWS 95/98 PEER-TO-PEER CONFIGURATION 4. Input the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway (If needed) of your print server. ✒ Note You can find the MAC address on the serial number label on the print server itself, or you can see it by printing the configuration page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for information on how to print the configuration page on your print server. NC-2100h users should note that the original BRAdmin32 utility will not find the NC-2100h print server.
USER’S GUIDE ✒ Note • Please note that Window 95/98 store the hosts file in the default Windows directory. • By default, the Windows 95/98 hosts file is called hosts.sam. If you wish to use the hosts file you must rename the file to hosts (with no extension, the .sam extension stands for sample. 8. Click the OK button. When prompted you must re-boot your computer.

CHAPTER 5 NetBIOS CONFIGURATION (NetBEUI and TCP/IP) CHAPTER 5 NetBIOS CONFIGURATION (NetBEUI and TCP/IP) Introduction Your Brother print server supports SMB (Server Message Block) over NetBEUI and also supports SMB over the TCP/IP protocol via the NetBIOS interface. This allows direct printing on Microsoft-compatible networks.
USER’S GUIDE Print Server Configuration The key to getting this function to work is to ensure that the Brother print server is configured for your network domain name or workgroup name. When you install Windows 95/98 you are asked which workgroup you belong to, the default workgroup name for Windows 95/98 is "Workgroup", however you could change this to anything you want. With Windows NT 4.0, Microsoft introduce the concept of "Domains".
CHAPTER 5 NetBIOS CONFIGURATION (NetBEUI and TCP/IP) Changing the domain name using TELNET or BRCONFIG If you are unable to use a BRAdmin utility or a web browser, you can use TELNET or the BRCONFIG Remote console program (BRCONFIG requires the IPX/SPX protocol to be installed on your PC). When you are connected to the print server, enter the default password “access” in response to the "#" prompt. Type in anything in response to the "Enter Username>" prompt, you will then be at the "Local>" prompt.
USER’S GUIDE NetBIOS Port Monitor for Windows 95/98, NT4.0 This software requires the TCP/IP or NetBEUI transport protocols to be installed on your Windows 95/98, NT4.0 computer. To install those protocols refer to your Windows 95/98, NT4.0 documentation. If you are using the TCP/IP protocol, the proper IP address should be defined on both the Brother print server and your client PC. ✒ Note If you are using the new NetBIOS feature, you have to use version 1.
CHAPTER 5 NetBIOS CONFIGURATION (NetBEUI and TCP/IP) 5. Enter the Port name that you wish to use. The port name must start with “BNT”. For example BNT1. Which ever name you choose, it must be unique. Then press “OK”. The name must be unique on your PC, however other computers can use the same port name as the name you specify on your PC. ✒ Note On previous versions of this software you the port name would have to begin with “BNB”. 6. You must now enter the server name and port name for actual print server.

Choose Other (or Network Printer for V3.1 systems) from the Print to menu. 6. Click on Hewlett-Packard Network Port. 7.
USER’S GUIDE Configuring DLC on Other Systems To use DLC on other network systems, you will generally need vendor supplied software. Typically such software will support the Brother print servers. Follow the vendor's instructions to install the DLC protocol on your system. Once the protocol is installed, create a network port in the same way that you did for Windows NT in the previous sections. The Ethernet address of the print server should automatically appear during the configuration process.
CHAPTER 8 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION CHAPTER 8 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION Brother print servers are equipped with the LAT protocol. If you are already familiar with configuring DEC servers or compatible terminal servers in your network, you can use similar procedures to configure a Brother print server. LAT Concepts A Brother printer server will be a node on the network that offers a printing service to other nodes on the network.
USER’S GUIDE • The LAT application port. The name of this port is LTAxxx, where "xxx" is any unused number (do a SHOW PORT command in the VMS LATCP program to see the existing ports). • The print server node name and port name . The default node name is BRO_xxxxxx, where "xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (for example, BRO_00C3E4).
CHAPTER 8 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION Substitute your actual node name, port name (P1), LAT port and queue name for the ones in the example. If you are using a service name, specify /SERVICE= servicename instead of /PORT=P1. ✒ Note Use the default names unless you have specifically changed the names. ✒ Note Be sure to specify PROC=LATSYM or the queue will not service requests from multiple host computers. 3.
USER’S GUIDE Eliminating Blank Pages When printing through VMS, a blank page is often printed after each job. To eliminate this blank page, first create a text file with the following contents: ]VMS;2\ where is the escape character (ASCII 27) and "VMS" is in uppercase. Then insert this file into your default library (normally SYSDEVCTL.TLB), and specify it as a setup module in your form (stop and reset all queues that use the library before doing this procedure).
CHAPTER 8 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION 3. Perform the following steps on the PC: a. If you are using DOS, type the command USE LPTx:\\node\service at the DOS prompt, where x is the PC parallel port number, node is the DECnet node name and service is the service name picked previously. For example: USE LPT1:\\VAX\LASER You may delete this print service by typing LATCP at the C:> prompt and then entering the command DELETE LPT1: b. If you are using Windows 3.
USER’S GUIDE PATHWORKS for Macintosh Configuration If you are using PATHWORKS for Macintosh, you will need to make sure that you have a bi-directional channel (in other words, you did NOT enter the command SET SERVICE servicename RECEIVE ENABLED from the remote console).
CHAPTER 8 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION ULTRIX Configuration Operation of the print server under ULTRIX is similar in concept to VMS in that you must create a LAT application port and associate a print queue with that port (note that ULTRIX can alternatively be configured with TCP/IP as described in Chapter 2). This procedure requires system manager privileges and is shown in the following sections. 1. Verify that LAT is working.
USER’S GUIDE 5. Edit the /etc/printcap file to define the printer. The following is an example of an entry: lp1|BRO1:\ :lp=/dev/tty05:\ :ts=BRO_009C53:\ :op=P1:\ :fc#0177777:fs#023:\ :sd=/usr/spool/lp1: "lp1" in the example is the printer name; you may choose to replace it with a name of your choice. Likewise, "BRO1" is a secondary name that you may want to replace with your own designation. The "op" parameter is the port name (P1).
CHAPTER 8 LAT NETWORK CONFIGURATION Installation on Other Host Computers Installation procedures differ somewhat for other DEC operating systems (e.g., RSTS/E and RSX-11M-PLUS). Refer to the appropriate DEC documentation for information on setting up LAT print queues on these systems. Changing the Configuration The default configuration of Brother print servers should be adequate for most applications.
CHAPTER 9 BANYAN VINES NETWORK CONFIGURATION CHAPTER 9 BANYAN VINES NETWORK CONFIGURATION Brother print servers allow printers to be shared on a Banyan VINES network. Users on client PCs send their jobs to any VINES file server running the Banyan PCPrint software, which in turn spools the jobs to the print server. Printing is transparent to user applications, and the print server can be managed using standard VINES utilities like MANAGE, MSERVICE, MUSER and the Operator Console printer control.
USER’S GUIDE 4. You will then get the Add User Profile screen. Select a blank user profile and then press ENTER. If there is no existing blank profile, then select the Sample Profile. 5. You will get the message "Do you want to force the user to change passwords on the next login?". Select No and press ENTER. 6. You will then get the Manage A User screen. If you selected a blank user profile in step 4, you can skip to step 8. Otherwise, use the arrow keys to select MANAGE User Profile and press ENTER. 7.
CHAPTER 9 BANYAN VINES NETWORK CONFIGURATION B. File Server Queue Configuration You must now configure the queue(s) on the Banyan VINES file servers. Print queues are one of several different types of services that are available on a VINES file server. To configure a print queue, use the MANAGE utility as follows: 1. From the main menu, select 1 - Services and press ENTER. 2. You will get the Manage Services menu. Select ADD a server-based service and press ENTER. 3.
USER’S GUIDE ✒ Note If the PCPrint option is not installed, PCPrint will not appear on this screen. You must have PCPrint installed in order to use an Brother print server. 13. When you get the Destination Attributes screen, enter the StreetTalk name of the Brother print server (from step A-3) and an optional description. Press F10. 14. You will get the Output strings menu.
CHAPTER 9 BANYAN VINES NETWORK CONFIGURATION C. Print Server Configuration Using BRAdmin The last step is to add the StreetTalk login name to the Brother print server and to associate the file server queue with one of the services on the print server. The procedure is as follows: 1. Install the software from the Print Server Configuration Utility diskette by selecting File from the Windows Program Manager menu bar. Then select Run, enter A:\SETUP.
USER’S GUIDE D. Print Server Configuration Using the Print Server Console As an alternative to BRAdmin, you may use the print server console to configure the print server. The steps are as follows: 1. Connect to the print server console using TELNET, NCP, BRCONFIG, or the serial port (refer to Appendix A for information on using the console). 2.
CHAPTER 9 BANYAN VINES NETWORK CONFIGURATION E. Testing the print queue To test the queue, use the Banyan BPRINT command from the DOS prompt on your workstation. For example: BPRINT TEST.TXT /P:MYQUEUE Prints the file TEST.TXT to the file server queue MYQUEUE.
CHAPTER 10 WEB FUNCTION CHAPTER 10 WEB FUNCTION Overview A standard World Wide Web Browser (we recommend Netscape Navigator version 3.0 or later/Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.02a or later) can be used to manage your printer using the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). It is possible to get the following information from the printer using a web browser. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
USER’S GUIDE Web Function Page Once you are connected to the printer, you will see a screen similar to the one below. Fig. 10-1 Sample of HL-2400CN printer • Refresh The refresh button reloads the page. • Automatic Refresh The Automatic Refresh botton reloads the page every 15 seconds. • View Configuration The confuguration button lets you see printer information such as toner status, current page count, etc...

USER’S GUIDE Log Management Function Overview By using this function, the printer can record a log of your printed documents and any printer errors that may have occurred. The Administrator can then view this information and see how the printer is being utilized. ✒ Note We strongly recommend that you use this function when the printer is not printing or receiving data from a computer.
CHAPTER 10 WEB FUNCTION How to use this function 1. Select the Administrator Settings (Refer to Fig.10-1) and then select either Log Configuration or View Print Log. By default this function is disabled, to enable it select Log Configuration and then enable the appropriate log. Refer to the above section for information on each log function. When you enable logging, you must enter a password, the default password for each log is the password of the print server, i.e. "access".
CHAPTER 11 BROTHER INTERNET PRINT (BIP) CHAPTER 11 BROTHER INTERNET PRINT (BIP) BIP Remote Internet Printing Installation Brother’s BIP (Brother Internet Print) product is a Windows 95/98/NT4.0 software driver that allows a PC user at one location, to send a print job to a printer connected to a Brother print server 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.
USER’S GUIDE • If you are connecting via a modem directly to an Internet Service Provider (ISP), the ISP handles the routing of the E-mail to the remote print server. At the remote site, an E-mail server receives the E-mail message. The remote print server, which has its own E-mail address, uses the POP3 protocol (Post Office Protocol 3) to download the E-mail message from the server. It then decodes the attachment and prints it out on the printer.
CHAPTER 11 BROTHER INTERNET PRINT (BIP) 1. Make a backup copy of Brother Network Print Software disk, and use this backup for the installation process. Store the original diskette in a safe place. 2. Insert the backup installation diskette into the PC. From the Windows 95/98/NT4.0 Start button, select Run. Then enter A:\SETUP and press Enter to start the BIP installation program. 3. Push the Next button in response to the Welcome message. 4. Select the Brother Internet Print button. 5.
USER’S GUIDE 11. Press OK to continue. You will then be asked to re-start your computer. 12. One your computer has re-started you must create a printer on your Windows 95/98/NT4.0 system using the standard Windows 95/98/NT4.0 printer setup procedure. To do this, go the Start button, select Settings and then Printers. 13. Select Add Printer to begin the printer installation. 14. Click Next when you get the Add Printer Wizard window (Windows 95/98 only). 15.
CHAPTER 11 BROTHER INTERNET PRINT (BIP) Adding a Second Brother Internet Port You should not re-run the install program to add a new E-mail printer port. Instead, press the Start button, select Settings, and open the Printers windows. Click on the icon of a printer that is using BIP, select File from the menu bar, and then choose Properties. Click on the Details (Ports on Windows NT) tab and push the Add Port button.
USER’S GUIDE 2. Make sure that the print server is installed and running with TCP/IP enabled and has a valid IP address assigned to it. Because access to the E-mail server on most networks is usually restricted, you may need to have your network administrator check the configuration and add the mail account. Using BRAdmin or BRAdmin32 to Configure the Print Server ✒ Note Skip this section if you wish to use the print server console or Web Browser to configure the print server.
CHAPTER 11 BROTHER INTERNET PRINT (BIP) 7. Enter the password for the mailbox, if any. 8. The print server is configured by default to poll the POP3 server every 30 seconds. You may change this value, if desired. 9. If you have enabled notification, enter the IP address of your SMTP server (consult your network administrator if you do not know this address). 10. Press the OK button and save the changes. Now exit BRAdmin. You have now configured the print server to receive print jobs.
USER’S GUIDE 1. When you get the “Local>“ prompt after connecting to the console, enter the command: SET POP3 ADDRESS ipaddress where ipaddress is the IP address of your POP3 server (consult with your network administrator if you do not know this address). 2. Enter the command: SET SET POP3 POP3 NAME mailboxname PASSWORD emailpassword where mailboxname is the name of the remote print server mailbox and emailpassword is the password associated with this mailbox.
CHAPTER 12 TROUBLESHOOTING CHAPTER 12 TROUBLESHOOTING Overview This chapter describes procedures for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with Brother print servers, and is divided into the following sections: 1. Installation Problems 2. Intermittent Problems 3. Protocol-Specific Troubleshooting If you would like to know general problem, access Brother Homepage (http://www.brother.com/). Installation problems If you cannot print to print server after you install it, check the following: 1.
USER’S GUIDE - If you are using an older printer that does not support the 1284 bidirectional parallel port standard, try executing the SET PORT P1 ACKH ENABLED and SET PORT P1 DMA DISABLED commands. Also, make sure that fast strobe (FSTB) is disabled (do a SHOW PORT command to determine its state; if necessary, do a SET PORT P1 FSTB DISABLED command). 3.
CHAPTER 12 TROUBLESHOOTING 4. If you cannot make any of the connections in step 3, check the following: a. Make sure the printer is powered on and on-line. b. Verify that the cabling, network connection, and (if applicable) transceiver are good. If possible, try the print server on a different connection on the network, and/or try a different transceiver. Also, print out a self-test page to see if bytes are being transmitted and received. b. Check to see if there is any LED activity.
USER’S GUIDE e. If you have a bridge or router located between the print server and host computer, make sure that the device is set up to allow the print server to send and receive data from the host. For example, a bridge can be set up to only allow certain types of Ethernet addresses to pass through (a process known as filtering); therefore, such a bridge must be configured to allow Brother print server addresses.
CHAPTER 12 TROUBLESHOOTING Novell NetWare Troubleshooting If you cannot print from NetWare and you have checked the hardware and network as described in the previous steps, first verify that the Brother print server is attached to the server queue by going to PCONSOLE, selecting PRINT QUEUE INFORMATION, and then CURRENTLY ATTACHED SERVERS.
USER’S GUIDE TCP/IP Troubleshooting If you are using TCP/IP and cannot print to the print server and you have checked the hardware and network as described in the previous steps, then check the following (note that it is always a good idea to try creating a another print queue to eliminate the possibility of setup errors): 1. The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP addresses.
CHAPTER 12 TROUBLESHOOTING 9. If you are using an AT&T-based UNIX, make sure the printer is enabled (enable printer, where printer is the name of the local print queue). 10. Make sure that the lpr/lpd remote line printer service are running on the host computer (refer to your host computer documentation for information on how to do this). 11. If you cannot print from DEC TCP/IP Services for VMS (UCX), make sure that you have version 2.
USER’S GUIDE Brother Peer to Peer Print (LPR) Troubleshooting You may find that during the installation of BLP1 software, the screen that prompts you for a Port name is not displayed. This happens on some Windows 95 computers. Press the ALT and TAB keys to make it appear. Windows 95/98 (or later) Peer-to-Peer Troubleshooting If you are having trouble printing on a Windows 95/98 (or later) Peer-toPeer network, check the following (HP JetAdmin compatible method): 1.
CHAPTER 12 TROUBLESHOOTING 6. Verify that you have selected the correct AppleTalk zone. Because the print server gets its zone information from router broadcasts, it may not be in the zone you expect, and will therefore not show up in the Chooser. If this is the case, you may need to force the zone name with the SET APPLETALK ZONE command described in Appendix A. 7. Verify that you have a PostScript printer, because AppleTalk and PATHWORKS for Macintosh require PostScript.
USER’S GUIDE LAT Troubleshooting If you cannot print from a VMS system and you have checked the hardware and network as described in the previous steps, then check the following (note that it is always a good idea to try creating a new queue with a different LAT port to reduce the possibility of setup errors): 1.
CHAPTER 12 TROUBLESHOOTING 7. Make sure that PROCESSOR=LATSYM is enabled on your VMS print queue if you get any of the following symptoms: - The queue pauses when you power off the print server for no apparent reason. - The print server generates excessive LAT traffic on the network - Only one host computer can access the print server, others are locked out. 8.
USER’S GUIDE Banyan VINES Troubleshooting If you are having trouble printing with Banyan VINES, check the following: 1. Make sure that you have the Banyan VINES PCPrint software option installed. 1. Make sure that the Banyan protocol is enabled. 1. If there are more than two hops (i.e., more than two routers) between the print server and the file server, make sure that you have changed the hop count to the appropriate number via BRAdmin or the print server console. 1.
CHAPTER 12 TROUBLESHOOTING Web Browser Troubleshooting If you can not connect to the print server using your web browser it may be worth checking the Proxy Settings of your browser. Look in the Exceptions setting and if necessary, type in the IP address of the print server. This will stop your PC from trying to connect to your ISP every time you wish to look at the printer status.
APPENDIX APPENDIX Appendix A Command Summary General Commands Although it is not normally necessary to change Brother print server default parameters, you can change the configuration using any of the following methods: • • • • • • Brother BRAdmin32 utility for Windows 95/98 and NT 4.0 Brother BRAdmin Netware utility for Windows 3.1 HTTP (using a web browser) TELNET Brother BRCONFIG NetWare Utility DEC NCP or NCL Utility BRAdmin32 The Brother BRAdmin32 utility can use the TCP/IP or IPX/SPX protocol.
USER’S GUIDE BRCONFIG To connect to the print server using the Brother BRCONFIG NetWare utility, insert the Brother Print Server Software diskette in Drive A and type: A:BRCONFIG at the DOS system prompt. If you have only one print server, you will be immediately connected. If you have more than one print server, you will be given a list of available print servers.

USER’S GUIDE Appendix B Using Services (lpd-Plus) A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print the NC-series.
APPENDIX To define a new string, use the command: SET SERVER STRING number “string” where number is the number of the string (12 through 31) and string is the desired string (must be enclosed in quotation marks). A given string can include hexadecimal characters by preceding the value with a “\” character. The next two characters after the “\” will then be interpreted as the hexadecimal value of a character.
USER’S GUIDE where name is the name of the service. Do a SHOW SERVICE command to see the enabled protocols. Note that a given service must have at least one protocol enabled. A filter is a program built into the NC-series that performs a specific function. There are currently two filters available: filter no. 1 Description This filter adds a carriage return character every time a linefeed character is encountered in the data stream.
APPENDIX Appendix C Reloading the Print Server Firmware The firmware on the print server is stored in flash memory. This means that you can upgrade the firmware by downloading the appropriate update file. Update files are available from Internet access (www.brother.com). ✒ Note We recommend that you factory reset the print server if you upgrade to a later version of software. Instructions on how to perform a factory reset can be found in the quick setup guide that accompanies the print server.
USER’S GUIDE 1. TFTP PUT from this host Use this method if you have TCP/IP already installed on your PC. BRAdmin32 will use the TFTP protocol to send the new firmware data to the print server. 2. TFTP GET from a server If you have a TFTP server installed in your network, you may wish to use this option. The new firmware file must be located in the TFTP BOOT directory on your TFTP server.
APPENDIX 3. Netware GET from a server You must have a Netware server on your network (running IPX/SPX) and you must store the new firmware file in the SYS/Login directory of the server.
USER’S GUIDE Downloading from a UNIX Host Computer using TFTP To download the print server firmware from a UNIX host using tftp, first copy the load file e.g. Firmname.bin to that host. Make sure that tftp is started by checking the appropriate files on your system (generally speaking, tftp must be enabled in your /etc/services file and possibly in another configuration file, such as /etc/inetd.conf). Refer to your UNIX system documentation or man pages for additional information.
APPENDIX Downloading from a UNIX Host Computer using BOOTP To download the print server firmware from a UNIX host using BOOTP, first copy the load file e.g. Firmname.bin to that host. Make sure that BOOTP and tftp are started by checking the appropriate files on your system (generally speaking, BOOTP must be enabled in the /etc/inetd.conf file, while tftp must be enabled in your /etc/services file and possibly in another configuration file, such as the /etc/inetd.conf file).
USER’S GUIDE Downloading from a NetWare Server To download from a NetWare server, first copy the load file e.g. Firmname.bin into the \login directory on your SYS partition (SYS:\LOGIN). Using the \login directory will eliminate any potential file protection problems. Connect to the print server remote console using BRCONFIG and enter the following commands in response to Local> prompt. SET LOAD HOST fileservername SET LOAD SOFTWARE SYS:\LOGIN\Firmname.
APPENDIX Downloading from a DEC VMS Host Computer The download procedure for DEC computers is basically identical to the procedure for downloading a DEC terminal server.
USER’S GUIDE If the red LED does not go out after about two minutes, check to make sure that you correctly entered all parameters and that your network connections are good. Then power the print server off and then on again, enter the SET LOAD ENABLE command, and exit the remote console to retry the download. Downloading from a VINES Server To download from a Banyan VINES file server, first copy the load file into any directory on your file server (for example, E:).
