AppleTalk (EtherTalk)
TCP/IP Printing
Printing From a Macintosh

Overview

Brother Print Server's 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 the Macintosh will be
BRO_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 print using a web browser and then click on "Administrator
Settings", "Network Board Settings" enter the password, then select
"Configure AppleTalk", Click "BRO_xxxxxx_P1_AT", then on Service
Name, enter the new name that you wish to appear in Chooser. Then click
on "Submit".
3. System 8.6 or later supports TCP/IP printing.
4. The default password for Brother print servers is "access".
5. One way to print that details all network settings is to print a configuration
page, use a fine ball point pen to hold down the Test button on the back of
the print server for less than 5 seconds.
Refer to Appendix of this user guide how to print the configuration page.
