Changing the Configuration
From a Macintosh, the easiest way to change the printer or print server parameters is
to use a web browser.
Simply connect to the printer using the format: http://ip_address
where ip_address is the address of the printer.
PC users can also use the BRAdmin application to change printer and print server
details.

CHAPTER EIGHT
DLC Printing
Printing from Windows NT or
Windows 2000
Overview
DLC is a simple protocol that is included in Windows NT and Windows 2000 as
standard. It can be used on other operating systems (such as Windows 3.x) with the
addition of vendor supplied software that supports the Hewlett-Packard JetDirect
card.
Quick Tips:
1. One way to print the details of all network settings is to print a configuration
page. Refer to the Quick Setup guide for information on how to print the
configuration page.
Because DLC is a non-routable protocol, there cannot be a router between the print
server and the sending computer.

Configuring DLC on Windows NT/2000
To use DLC on Windows NT, you must first install the DLC protocol.
1.
 Log into Windows NT with administrative privileges. Go to the NT Control
Panel and double click on the Network icon. Windows 2000 users select the
properties of the Local Area Connection.
2.
 On Windows NT 3.5x systems, select Add Software. On Windows NT 4.0
systems, click on the Protocol tab, and click Add. Windows 2000 users click
the Install button from the General Tab.
3.
 Select DLC Protocol and then OK or Add if using Windows 2000. You may
be asked for the location of the files, for Intel based computers, the
necessary files are stored in the i386 directory of the Windows NT CD-
ROM. If you have a non-Intel platform, specify the correct directory on your
Windows NT CD-ROM. Click Continue (for 3.5x systems) or Close (for 4.0
systems).
4.
 Reboot your system to make the change take effect. Windows 2000 should
not require a re-boot.

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
vendors 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 MAC address (Ethernet address) of the
print server should automatically appear during the configuration process.
The final step is to create a printer using the normal operating system printer setup
method. The only difference is that instead of connecting the printer to the LPT1
parallel port, you point it to the network port you just created.
Brother does not recommend using the DLC protocol with Windows for Workgroup
3.11 in a peer-to-peer configuration if the printer will be heavily used. This is
because jobs may be rejected due to print spooler timeouts. The best solution in these
situations is to set up one PC as a server for handling network print jobs. All of the
other PCs send their print jobs to the server PC using NetBEUI or TCP/IP, and the
server PC then uses DLC to send the print jobs to the Brother print server.

CHAPTER NINE
LAT Network
Configuration
Printing from DEC LAT Systems
Overview
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.
Quick Tips:
1. The default password for Brother print servers is access.
2. If you assign an IP address to the print server, you can use a Web browser or
the Bradmin application to configure the LAT configuration parameters.
