AppleTalk (EtherTalk) TCP/IP Printing

Printing From a Macintosh

Overview

Brother print servers support the AppleTalk protocol running over Ethernet (also known as EtherTalk).
This allows Macintosh users to print at the same time as all other Ethernet network using the AppleTalk
(also referred to as EtherTalk) protocol.
With the release of System 8.6 or later, Apple introduced a TCP/IP printing capability. This allows
Macintosh users to send print jobs using the TCP/IP protocol.
Quick Tips:
1
The default name that will appear in the Chooser of a Macintosh will usually be
BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT (where xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the Ethernet address).
2
From a Macintosh network, the easiest way to change this name is to assign an IP address to
the printer and then use a Web browser to change the name. Connect to the printer using a
web browser and then click on Network Configuration. Enter the password (the default
password is access) then select Configure AppleTalk. Click on BRN_xxxxxx_P1_AT, then
on Service Name. Enter the new name that you wish to appear in Chooser. Then click on
Submit.

System 8.6 or later supports TCP/IP printing.

The default password for Brother print servers is access.
5
The default IP address of Brother print servers is 0.0.0.0. To change it, use the printer
control panel, the BRAdmin Professional utility or let your DHCP server alloate an IP address
to the printer.
