Printing from Unix/Linux using TCP/IP Overview

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. As with all protocols, TCP/IP communications can proceed concurrently while other protocols are active, this means that UNIX, NetWare, Apple, and other computers can share the same Brother print server over an Ethernet network.

The Linux operating system uses the same setup procedures as standard Berkeley UNIX systems. Refer to this chapter for a typical GUI based Linux installation.

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the APIPA protocol, see Chapter 3 "Network factory default setting" on page 3-11 of the User's Guide. Ifthe APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

Refer to chapter 10 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP address on your printer.

The default password for Brother print servers is access. The default name for a Brother print server is usually

BRN_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address of the print server).

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to the service names, BINARY_P1andTEXT_P1.

TCP/IP Brother print servers appear to the network as a UNIX hostcomputer with a unique IP address running the Ipd (line printer daemon) protocol. As a result, any host computer that supports the Berkeley remote LPR command can spool jobs to Brother printservers without the need for any special software on the host computer. For special applications, raw TCP ports are also available.

Brother printservers also supportthe FTP protocol. This protocol can be used to send print jobs from Unix systems.

The Brother printserver is pre-configured to run on a TCP/IP network with a minimum of setup. The only mandatory configuration of the print server is the allocation of an IP address, which can be either automatically assigned using DHCP, BOOTP etc., or manually assigned using the ARP command, BRAdmin Professional software, or the printer control panel.

For setting the IP address of the print server, refer to the Quick Setup Guide or to chapter 10 of this user guide.

General TCP/IP UNIX Host Configuration

The configuration process for most UNIX systems is described in the following steps. As this process varies, we recommend that you refer to your system documentation for additional information.

Configure the /etc/hosts file on each UNIX hostthat needs to communicate with the print server. Use your favorite editor to add an entry to the /etc/hosts file containing the IP address and node name of the device. For example:

192.189.207.3 BRN_310107

1-2 UNIX PRINTING YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

The actual format of the entry may vary depending on your system, check your system documentation and also note the format of other entries in the /etc/hosts file.

p: 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, itis good practice to make the names the same. Some operating systems, such as HP/UX, do not acceptthe "_" character in the default name, for these systems you must use a different name).

In any case, the node name in the /etc/hosts file must match the node name in the /etc/printcap file.

Some systems such as HP/UX and AIX allow you to enter the IP address as the host name when setting up the print queue. If this is the case, you do not need to configure the hosts file.

Choose which print server service you want to use. There are several types of services available on Brother print servers. Binary services pass data through unmodified and are therefore required for PCL or PostScript rasterized graphics printouts. Text services add a carriage return at the end of each line for proper formatting of UNIX text files (which end in linefeed and do not have carriage returns). The text service can also be used for non-rasterized graphics, such as ASCII PostScript graphics or many types of PCL graphics.

Choose one of the available services (a service name will be used in step 3):

BINARY_P1 Binary data TEXT_P1 Text data (CR added)

You may set up multiple print queues on your UNIX host computer for the same print server, each one with a different

service name (for example, one queue for binary graphics jobs and one for text jobs).

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

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.

3 This step applies to the majority of UNIX systems, including Linux, Sun OS (but not Solaris 2.xx), Silicon Graphics (Ipr/pd option required), DEC ULTRIX, DEC OSF/1, and Digital UNIX. SCO UNIX users should follow these steps, but should also refer to the SCO UNIX Configuration section. Users of RS/6000 AIX, HP/UX, Sun Solaris 2.xx, and other systems that do not use the printcap file should skip to section 3-a. SCO user's should also skip to section 3a (SCO uses the printcap file, but this file is automatically configured via the rlpconf command).

An example of a typical printcap file:

lgsertiPrinter on Floor 1:\

p=TEXT P1:\ :sd=/usr/spootl/tpd/laserl:

z1Make sure this information is added to the end ofthe printcap file. Also make sure that the last character in the printcap file is a colon ":".

This will create a queue named laser1l on the host computer that communicates to a Brother print server with a node name (rm) of BRN_310107 and a service name (rp) of TEXT_P1 printing text files to a Brother printer through spool directory /usr/spootl/tlpd/laser1. If you are printing binary graphics files, you would use the service BINARY_P1 instead of TEXT_P1.

1-4 UNIX PRINTING YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

The rm and rp options are not available on some UNIX systems, so if necessary check your documentation to determine the equivalent options.

Users of Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems can use the Ipc command to obtain the printer status:

queuing is enabled printing is enabled no entries

Users of AT&T-compatible UNIX systems can generally use the Ipstat or rlpstat commandés to obtain similar status information. Because this procedure varies from system to system, refer to your system documentation for the exact usage.

Skip this section if you have completed Step 3, unless you have an SCO UNIX system.

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.). On SCO systems, there is a printcap file, but it is automatically configured by the rlpconf command. Most of these 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). Refer to the appropriate section depending on your version of Unix.

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Ifyou do not wish to use the command line interface to configure your Linux distribution, you may wish to use the Linux Printer System Manager application on your GUI. To do this, do the following:

From the Linux Printer System Manager screen, click the Add button.

You will now be asked to specify which Printer type you are using, select the Remote Unix (Ipd) Queue option and click OK.

You must now specify the remote host name, remote queue name and the input filter to use.

The Remote Host name is the IP address of the printer, orthe name from the hosts file which corresponds to the IP address of the printer.

The Remote Queue name is the service name that the printer will use when processing the data. Generally we recommend that you use the name "BINARY_P1", however, if you are planning to send text documents that do not have a carriage return and a line feed, then use "TEXT_P1".

Select the appropriate Input Filter from the list of available printers on your particular build of Linux.

In order to make your settings work, select the Restart Ipd option. As soon as the Ipd server restarts, you will be able to send printed documents from your server.

Linux Configuration using CUPS Many Linux systems support Common Unix Printing System (CUPS). CUPS typically uses PPD files are supplied on Brother's BR-Script (Brother's Postscript language emulation) ready machines. If you are using a Brother printer that does not include the BR-S cript emulation you must use an alternative driver.

1-6 UNIX PRINTING YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

In the case of HP/UX10.xx, the sam program is used to set up the remote printer. The steps are as follows:

E xecute the sam program. From the list of options, select Printers and Plotters.

Select LP Spooler. Select Printers and Plotters. Select Actions and then Add Remote Printer/Plotter.

Enter any name as the Printer Name (this will be the name of the print queue).

Enter the IP address ofthe print server as the Remote System Name.

Enter the desired print server service name as the Remote Printer Name.

Check the box next to Remote Printer is on BSD system. You may accept the default values for the remaining items. Click OK to configure the printer.

You should now be able to print using the Ip-d command with the printer name.

If you are using the HP distributed print service, the configuration procedure is slightly different because you are sending the print jobs to a file server, which in turn spools the job to the print server. You must therefore know the name of the file server (spooler host) in addition to the above information. Y ou will add a physical and a remote printer, and then assign a logical printer to the remote printer (a unique name that does not match any other name). To print, use the Ip -d command with the logical printer name.

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Earlier versions of HP/UX use similar procedures to 10.xx users:

Enter sam and select Peripheral Devices and then Add Remote Printer (not Networked printer).

Enter the following remote printer settings (the other settings do not matter):

Line printer name (user-selectable).

Remote system name (the print server name; must match what is in hosts file or use print server IP address).

Remote printer queue (Print server binary or text service name, e.g. BINARY_P1orTEXT P1).

Remote Printer is on a BSD System (Yes). IBM RS/6000 AIX Configuration

The RS/6000 AIX operating system uses the smit program to setup the remote printer. The procedure is as follows for AIX 4.0 and later:

Enter smit and select devices.

Select Printer/Plotter.

Select Print Spooling.

Select Add a Print Queue.

Enter the following Remote Printer Settings:

Name of queue (user selectable)

Host name of Remote Printer (print server name; must match name in /etc/hosts file or use the print server IP address) Name of queue on remote printer (print server binary or text

1-8 UNIX PRINTING YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

The procedure for pre-V4.0 systems is as follows.

Enter smit and select devices.

Select printer/plotter.

Select manage remote printer subsystem.

Select client services.

Select remote printer queues.

Select add a remote queue.

Enter the following remote queue settings: Name of queue to add (user selectable). Activate the queue (Yes).

Destination host (print server name; must match name in / etc/hosts file or use the print server IP address)

Name of queue on remote printer (print server binary or text service name, eg. BINARY_P1orTEXT P1).

Name of device to add (user selectable; for example Lp0).

Sun Solaris 2.x Configuration

Sun Solaris 2.x uses the Ipsystem and Ipadmin programs for remote printer configuration:

lpsystem -t bsd prnservername

lpadmin -p queue -s prnservername!prnserverservice accept queue (not required on newer Solaris systems) enable queue (not required on newer Solaris systems)

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 or IP address). prnserverserviceis the print server BINARY_P1orTEXT_P1 service.

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

If this is the first printer configured, you must also use the Lpsched command prior to the accept command.

As an alternative, you may use Printer Manager in the Admintool utility under OpenWindows. Select Edit, Add, and Add Access to Remote Printer. Then enter the print server name in the format prnservername!\prnserverservice as described above. Make sure that the printer server OS is setto BSD (the default setting), and click Add.

Note that we recommend that you use the /etc/hosts file for the printer name rather than NIS or other name services. Also note that due to a bug in the Sun lpd implementation on Solaris 2.4 and earlier releases, you may experience problems printing very long print jobs. Ifthis is the case, a workaround is to use the raw TCP port software as described later in this chapter.

SCO UNIX Configuration

To configure a printer in version Version 5.x of SCO Unix, use the SCOADMIN program.

Select Printers and then Print Manager.

On the menu select Printer and then Add Remote followed by Unix...

Enter the IP address of the print server, and type in the name of the printer that will be used to spool to.

Deselect Use External remote Printing Protocol...

To ejectthe printed page, add the command rp=lpaf to the / etc/printcap file.

SCO UNIX requires TCP/IP V1.2 or later to work with Brother print servers. You must first configure the /etc/hosts and /etc/ printcap files as described in step 2. Then run the sysadmsh program as follows:

Enter the name of the print queue you entered in the /etc/ printcap file as the Printer name.

Enter anything as the Comment, and Class name. For the Use printer interface select Existing. Press the F3 key to get a list of available interfaces, 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/1p generally works). Select Hardwired as the Device. Select No for the Require banner field.

Older SCO Unix Systems

The Brother printservers supportthe FTP protocol. Earlier SCO Unix systems are often configured to print using the FTP protocol.

To use a Brother print server with an IBM AS/400 running IBM's TCP/ IP gateways services for OS/400 (the OS/400 system must be v3.1 or later)

Use the CFGTCP command at your OS/400 prompt to add the print server's TCP/IP address to the AS/400 host table.

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Use the following one-line OS/400 command to create the LPD queue:

CRTOUTQ QUI (equeuenamez RMSTSYS (*INTNETADR) RMTPRTQ(<service>) AUTOSTRWTR(1) CNNTYPE(*IP) DESTTYPE (*OTHER) MFRTYPMDL (<driver>)

INTNETADR ('<ipaddress>') TEXT ('<description>')

where <queuename> is the new AS/400 print queue name, <service> is the print server service name (BINARY_P1 or TEXT_P1) <driver> is the OS/400 printer driver name (*HP4 is recommended if in doubt), and <ipaddress> is the IP address of the print server. Note that the IP address and description must be enclosed in single quotes.

CRTOUTQ OUTQ(BR1) RMTSYS(*INTNETADR)

If you are using A4 paper, you may find that the printer page formatting is incorrect (this is probably because your AS/400 system is set to Letter sized paper), to resolve this problem, do the following: Editthe Host Print Transform source code:

You can also use the following command line to create a printer

Other systems use similar programs to set up print servers. These programs will generally ask for the following information:

Requested information:

Binary or Text service name

remote host computer 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

remote host IP address

IP address of print server.

Technical support specialists for these companies can usually answer configuration questions if you provide them with the equivalent UNIX configuration information (tell them that the print server looks like a remote UNIX host computer running the lpd line

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

If you have not created a spool directory for the Brother print server on your UNIX host computer, you will need to do so now (the printer setup utilities in HP/UX, AIX, Solaris 2.xx, and other systems will automatically create the spool directory). The lpd spool directory is usually located in the /usr/spoot directory (check with your system manager to see ifthe location is different for your system). To create a new spool directory, use the mkdir command. For example, to create a spool directory for the queue laser1, you would enter:

mkdir /usr/spool/lpd/laserl

On some systems it is also necessary to startthe daemon. This is done on Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems with the Lpc start command as shown in the following example:

1-14 UNIX PRINTING YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Users of Windows® NT can print directly to a network-ready Brother printer using the TCP/IP protocol. Microsoft Windows® NT users must install Microsofts "TCP/IP printing" protocol. Windows® 2000/ XP users are able to send print jobs directly to the printer without installing any additional software. Brother's print server also supports transparent printing from IBM LAN Server and OS/2 Warp Server file servers, as well as from OS/2 Warp Connect workstations using the TCP/IP protocol.

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. |f you want to disable the APIPA protocol, see Chapter 3 "Network factory default setting" on page 3-11 of the User's Guide. Ifthe APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

The default password for Brother print servers is access.

Windows® NT users mustinstall the "Microsoft TCP/IP printing" protocol (available through the control panel applet).

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Windows® 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP protocol via a Windows® 2000/XP computer providing that the Microsoft Internet P rint Services software is installed on the clientPC, IIS is installed and running on the Windows® 2000/XP computer and that the client PC is using version 4 or later of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

The default name for a Brother print server is usually BRN_xxxxxx (where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address of the print server).

Windows® NT 3.5x/NT 4.0/2000/XP (TCP/IP) Configuration

If you have not already done so, install the TCP/IP protocol onto your Windows® NT system. This is done via the Network icon in the Control Panel window of the Windows® NT system (the Control Panel is in the Main window on NT 3.5x systems, or use the Start button on NT 4.0 to access the Settings/Control Panel menu). The default configuration of Windows® 2000/XP automatically installs the TCP/IP protocol. Refer to the appropriate section in this chapter for more information.

By default, Windows® 2000/XP systems install with all the necessary software required for you to be able to print. This chapter describes the two most commonly used configurations, Standard TCP/IP Port printing and IPP (Internet Printing Protocol). If you have already installed the printer driver, jump to the printer driver already installed section.

Brother print servers will work with IBM LAN Server, OS/2 Warp Server networks that have IBM TCP/IP V2.0 or later installed on the file server (TCP/IP is supplied as standard with LAN Server V4.0 and later as well as Warp Server). Use the following procedure to configure the print server on an LAN Server or OS/2 Warp Server file server, or on an OS/2 Warp Connect workstation:

Server Configuration

Make sure that TCP/IP software is installed on your OS/2 file server. If you have not already done so, open the TCP/IP folder on the desktop, and double click on the TCP/IP Configuration icon to add the IP address to the OS/2 file server (consult your system manager for this address).

Refer to chapter 10 for information on how to assign an IP address to the printer.

Configuration of an OS/2 Server From the OS/2 desktop open the Templates folder. Use the right mouse button to drag the Printer icon (notthe Network Printer icon) onto the desktop.

The Create a Printer window should be open (ifitis not, double click on the printer icon).

Type in any name for the printer. Select the default printer driver. lf the desired printer driver is not

listed, click on the Install new Printer Driver button and add the driver.

2-10 TCP/IP PRINTING YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Choose the output port. IBM TCP/IP automatically creates 8 named pipes called \PIPE\LPDO through to \PIPE\LPD7. Pick an unused port and double click on it.

Early versions of Warp Server have a bug in which the

LP SL] èmec pipes do not appear (the problem does not affect Warp Connect or LAN Server). This problem is fixed via a patch available from IBM.

You will get the Settings window. Enter the following:

The Brother print server name (from the HOSTS file) orits IP address.

For most applications, use the Brother print server'binary'service BINARY_P1. However, if you are printing text files from the DOS or OS/2 command prompt, you should use the textservice TEXT_P1, which will add carriage returns for proper formatting of the data (but will potentially distort graphics printouts).

The IP name of the OS/2 file server

The IP address of the OS/2 file server

You may leave the other entries blank. Click on the OK button. The pipe should be highlighted:; if not, click on it.

Click on the Create button to create the printer.

Open the LAN Services folder and execute the LAN Requester

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Select Create. Enter the following:

Alias Should be same as the printer name previously defined

Description Anything you want

Server name Name of OS/2 server

Spooler queue Name of printer as defined previously

Maximum number of users | Leave blank unless you want to limit the number of users

Exitthe LAN Requester program.

You should now be able to print. To test the queue, type the following from either the OS/2 command prompt or from a DOS workstation:

COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS \\servername\alias

Where servername is the name ofthe file server and alias is the alias name that you specified during this configuration process. This should print the CONFIG. SYS file on the printer. Note that if you selected a binary service as the LPD printer name, the lines will be staggered; don't worry about this because normal DOS, Windows®, and OS/2 applications will print OK.

The Brother print server will appear as a standard OS/2 printer to application programs. To make the print server operate transparently with DOS programs, execute the following command on each workstation:

NET USE LPTI1: \\servername\alias

This will make the printer appear to the software as a printer that is directly connected to the parallel port of the workstation.

How to Print in a Windows © 95/98/Me Peer to Peer network

Microsofts Windows® 95/98/Me operating systems feature built-in networking capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows® PC to be configured as a client workstation in a file server based network environment.

For smaller networks, Windows® 95/98/Me also allows the PC to operate in a peer-to-peer mode. In this mode, the PC can share resources with other PCs on the network without the need for a central file server.

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. 1f you want to disable the APIPA protocol, see Chapter 3 "Network factory default setting" on page 3-11 of the User's Guide. Ifthe APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BR Admin software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

Refer to chapter 10 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP address on your printer.

The default password for Brother print servers is access.

Windows® 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IP P protocol via a Windows® 2000 computer providing that the Microsoft Internet Print Services software is installed on the client PC, IIS is installed and running on the Windows © 2000 and that the client PC is using version 4 or later of Microsoft Internet E xplorer.

Brother printers are also compatible with HP J etDirectsoftware, this means that you can use HP utilities to manage and to print to your Brother printer.

Driver Deployment Wizard

This installer includes the Windows PCL driver and Brother network port driver (LPR and NetBlOS).

Ifthe administrator then installs the printer driver and port driver using this software, he can save the file to the File server or send the file in E-mail to users. Then, each user just clicks that file to have the printer driver, port driver, IP address, and so on, automatically copied to their PC.

For more information, see the Driver Deployment Wizard User's Guide on the CD-ROM.

Our Peerto Peer printing software requires the TCP/IP protocol to be installed on your Windows® peer-to-peer computers and an IP Address has to be defined for the print server. Refer to your Windows® documentation for more information on how to configure the TCP/IP protocol on your Windows® PC.

Brother print server range supports SMB (Server Message Block) over the TCP/IP protocol via the NetBIOS interface. This means that just like regular Windows® PC's, Brother printers can appear in your network neighborhood. The main advantage of NetBlOS printing is that you are able to print from legacy DOS applications that are running on PC's that are connected to Microsoft networks.

Refer to chapter 10 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP address on your printer.

The default password for Brother print servers is access.

The default domain name of the print server is WORKGROUP, to change it use your web browser or the BRAdmin application.

NETBIOS PEER TO PEER PRINTING 4-1

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Print Server Configuration

In order for this function to work, you must correctly change the DOMAIN name or WORKGROUP name to match that of your network. Once this is done, the print server will appear automatically in your network neighborhood and you will be able to send print documents to it without having to install additional software. However, in some instances you may find that your Windows © 95/98/ Me and Windows® NT4.0/2000/XP systems may receive "Printer is busy" error messages when more than one person attempts to access the printer. In this instance Brother has provided the "Brother NetBlOS Port Monitor" software which allows users to continue spooling print jobs while the printer is busy, down oroutof paper. The port monitor will hold the jobs until the printer is again available.

When you install Windows® 95/98/Me you are asked which workgroup you belong to. The default workgroup name for Windows® 95/98/Me is WORKGROUP, however you could change this to anything you want. With Windows® NT, Microsoft introduced the concept of "Domains". À domain offers centralized security management whereas a workgroup offers distributed security management. The print server does not care if your network consists of a Workgroup or a Domain, the only thing you musttell itis the name of the workgroup or domain. The Brother print server automatically has a default workgroup/domain name of WORKGROUP. If you need to change name, you can configure the Brother print server to recognize this. There are four ways of doing this. (If you are unsure about the name of your workgroup or domain, look in the identification tab in your network applet).

Use BRAdmin (This utility can use the TCP/IP protocol or Netware IPX protocol - no file server necessary.)

Use a Web browser (the print server must have a valid IP address and your computer must also have a valid IP address); you can configure the IP address by using BRAdmin.

TELNET, again your computer and printer must have a valid IP address.

Use BRCONFIG for DOS (this utility requires a Netware file server and the IPX protocol).

4-2 NETBIOS PEER TO PEER PRINTING YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Because of the way that Microsoft networks work, the print server may take several minutes to appear in the network neighborhood. Y ou will also find that the print server may take several minutes to disappear from the network neighborhood even if the printer is switched off. This is a feature of Microsoft workgroup and domain based networks.

Changing the workgroup/domain name using TELNET or BRCONFIG or a web browser

If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application, you can use TELNET, a web browser or the BRCONFIG Remote console program (BRCONFIG requires the IP X/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 atthe Local> prompt.

Now enter the command:

SET NETBIOS DOMAIN domainname

EXIT Where domainname is the name of the domain or workgroup that you are on. If you are not sure what your domain name or workgroup name is, look in the Identification tab in your Windows® 95/98/Me/NT 4.0 network applet.

You can also use a standard WWW browser to change the NetBIlOS name. To do this, connectto the print server using its IP address and then select the Configure NetBlOS option from the Network Configuration screen, then enter your workgroup/domain name into the Domain Name text box. Make sure you submit the changes (click on the Submit button).

Brother's Brother Internet Print (BIP) software, for Windows® 95/98/ Me/NT4.0, allows a PC user at one location to send a print job to a Brother Printer at a remote location via the Internet. For example, a user on à PC in New York could print a document directly from his Microsoft Excel application program to a printer in Paris.

Windows® 2000/XP users can also use this BIP software, but are recommended to use the IPP protocol support that is part of the Windows® 2000/XP operating systems. Skip to the "Windows® 2000 IPP Printing" section of this document.

Refer to chapter 10 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP address on your printer.

The default password for Brother print servers is access. Windows® 2000/XP users can print using TCP/IP using the

standard Network Printing software and IPP protocol software built into any Windows® 2000/XP installation.

Windows® 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IP P protocol via Windows® 2000 computer, provided that the Microsoft Internet Print Services software is installed on the client PC, Internet Information Server (IIS) is installed and running on the server and that the client PC is using version 4 or later of Microsoft Internet E xplorer.

Brother Internet Print General Information

The BIP software is installed using a standard Windows® 95/98/Me/ NT4.0/2000/XP Installation Wizard. It creates a virtual port on the Windows® 95/98/Me/NT4.0/2000/XP PC that operates in a similar way to the standard LPT1 printer port from the application program point of view. The user can use the Windows® 95/98/MeNT4.0/2000/ XP Print Manager to create a printer that uses this port along with a standard Windows® 95/98/Me, NT4.0/2000/XP-compatible printer. Any Windows® 95/98/Me/NT4.0/2000/XP applications program can therefore print to this printer (and hence to the virtual port) without modification or operational procedure.

When a job is printed to the BIP virtual port, itis actually MIME- encoded (converted to a standard InternetE-mail message) and sent out to a Brother print server at the remote location. This means that BIP is compatible with mostcommon E-mail software packages.The only requirement is that the E-mail server be capable of sending E- mail message over the Internet.

In more detail, the procedure works in the following way: If you are connected to a Local Area Network, the E-mail message is passed to the E-mail server, which in turn transmits the message out over the Internet using the SMTP protocol (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) to the remote print server. 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.

CONFIGURING INTERNET PRINTING FOR WINDOWS55-2

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Atthe 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 e-mail server. Itthen decodes the attachment and prints it out on the printer.

If an E-mail is received that has not been configured to use the BIP virtual port driver, the printer will print the E-mail out as a text document.

Brother Internet Print Configuring the Brother Print Server

The print server can be configured using BRAdmin, by using a web browser, or by using the TELNET command.

Print Server Configuration Checklist

Before configuring the print server to receive BIP jobs, be sure that the E-mail server at the remote site (the receiving end) is configured to handle the TCP/IP POP3, and SMTP protocols (SMTP is only required if the notification feature is enabled).

Configure the POP3 server on the E-mail server at the remote site with a mail account (Mailbox name) and password for the Brother print server (generally, the mail account name will be the first part of the E mail address; for example, if you assign the Email address emailprinter@ xyz.com, then the mail account name would be emailprinter).

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.

How to configure Novell NetWare Printing

Brother print servers allow NetWare client PCs to print jobs on the same printer as TCP/IP or other network protocol users. AI NetWare jobs are spooled through the Novell server and delivered to the printer when it is available.

The default password for Brother print servers is access.

6 - 1 NOVELL NETWARE PRINTING YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

In order to use a Brother print server on a NetWare network, one or more file servers must be configured with a print queue thatthe print server can service. Users send their print requests to the file server's print queue, and the jobs are then spooled (either directly, or in the case of remote printer mode, via an intermediate print server) to the appropriate Brother print server.

The system administrator can create Bindery (NetWare 3), NDS (NetWare 3 and NetWare 4) based queues in a single environment without having to switch between applications by using the BRAdmin application.

NetWare 5 users wishing to configure an NDPS printer must use the NWADMIN application supplied with NetWare 5. Please note that it is possible to create IPX BINDERY or NDS based queues on a NetWare 5 system using the BRAdmin application.

You must install the Novell NetWare Client 32 if you wish to create queue information on your NetWare servers using the BRAdmin application.

If you can'tuse the BR Admin application in your environment, you can create the queue using the traditional NetWare PCONSOLE utility or NWADMIN utilities, but you will then also need to use the Brother BRCONFIG utility, TELNET or a WWW browser to configure the print server as described later in this chapter.

I Apple alk (EtherT alk) TCP/IP Printing

Printing From a Macintosh

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.

For updated information on printing from a Macintosh visit the Brother Solutions web site at: http://solutions.brother.com

APPLETALK (ETHERTALK) TCP/IP PRINTING 7-1

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

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)

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. Clickon 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.

To printa printer settings page, press the Go button three times in rapid succession.

The default IP address of Brother print servers is 192.06.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel, the BRAdmin application, or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

Macintosh Configuration (OS 8.5 - 9.2)

Your Brother Printer is compatible with the standard Apple LaserWriter 8 printer driver (earlier versions of the LaserWriter drivers may crash or cause PostScript errors on large networks). If you do not have the LaserWriter 8 driver you must install it. Consult your Macintosh documentation for instructions on how to do this.

Before you try to use the Brother print server, you must first enable the EtherTalk protocol from the Network Control Panel on the Macintosh. Ifthe EtherTalk protocol is not selected, or the Network Control Panel does not exist, you must use Apple's Network Installer software to add these capabilities.

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 MAC

address (Ethernet address) of the print server should automatically appear during the configuration process.

8-5 DLC PRINTING YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

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.

z3 Brother does not recommend using the DLC protocol with Windows® for Workgroups 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.

Other SNMP based management utility.

These configuration methods are described in the following paragraphs.

pe The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host computers. Ifitis not, you must properly configure the subnet mask and the router (gateway).

Using the printer control panel to allocate an IP address (printers with LCD panels only)

Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for details on how to configure IP address information using the printer control panel. By using the control panel on the printer, you can program the IP address details at the same time that other printer parameters are configured.

Changing the IP Address using the BRAdmin application

:3 Please use BRAdmin Professional version 1.59 or later.

Startthe BRAdmin application (from Windows® 95/98/Me, Windows NT® 4.0 and Windows® 2000/XP).

The BRAdmin application can use the IP X/SPX or TCP/IP protocols to communicate with the Brother print server.

If you wish to use the TCP/IP protocol to manage the print server make sure thatthe print server has a valid IP address. There are two ways to change the IP address using the BRAdmin Professional software:

Use the IPX/SPX protocol.

Use the TCP/IP protocol and let BRAdmin find the Brother print server as an unconfigured device.

Using BRAdmin and the IPX/SPX Protocol to set the IP address

If your PC is using the Novell Netware Client software and is using the IPX/SPX protocol, do the following:

Select IPX/SPX filter in the left frame of the main window.

Check the print server name (the default node name is BRN_xxxxxx, Where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (MAC address)).

If you cannot find your server name, select the Device menu and choose Search Active Devices (you can also press the F4 key) and try again.

You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the printer configuration page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for information on how to print the configuration page on your print server.

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.

Selectthe TCP/IP tab and setthe IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway as needed.

In the IP Config box, click the Static radio button.

10 -3 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Restart the print server by using BRAdmin, Web Browser or TELNET. If you are not sure how to restartthe print server, you may simply turn the printer's power switch off, and then switch it on.

Using BRAdmin and the TCP/IP Protocol to set the IP address

If your PC is using the TCP/IP protocol, do the following: Select TCP/IP filter in the left frame of the main window.

Select the Device menu and choose the Search Active Devices.

= lfthe print server is set to its factory default settings, it will not appear in the BRAdmin screen. However, selecting the Search Active Devices option will force the BRAdmin software to find the device as an unconfigured device.

Select the Device menu and choose Setup Unconfigured Device.

Selectthe MAC address of your print server and click the Configure button.

You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the printer configuration page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for information on how to print the configuration page on your print server.

Enter the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway (if needed) of your print server.

Click OK then select Close.

With the correctly programmed IP address, you will see the Brother print server in the device list.

TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 10 -4

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Using DHCP to Configure the IP address

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is one of several automated mechanisms for IP address allocation. If you have DHCP Server in our network (typically a Unix/Linux, Windows NT © 4.0, Windows® 2000 or Novell Netware network) the print server will automatically obtains its IP address from DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.

zj1f you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP orRARP, you mustsetthe BOOT METHOD to static so thatthe print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from trying to obtain an IP address from any ofthese systems. To change the BOOT METHOD, use the printer's control panel (for those printers that have a LCD panel), TELNET (using the SET IP METHOD command), a Web browser or by using the BRAdmin application.

Using APIPA to Configure the IP Address

With Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA), DHCP clients automatically configure an IP address and subnet mask when a DHCP server is not available. The device chooses it's own IP address in the range 169.254.1.0 through to 169.254.254.255. The subnet mask is automatically set to 255.255.0.0 and the gateway address is set to 0.0.0.0.

By default, the APIPA protocol is enabled.

10-5 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Using ARP to Configure the Print Server IP Address

If you are unable to use the BR Admin application or the printer's control panel and your network does not use a DHCP server, you can also use the ARP command. The ARP command is available on Windows® systems that have TCP/IP installed as well as Unix systems. To use arp enter the following command at the command prompt:

arp -s ipaddress ethernetaddress

Where ethernetaddress is the Ethernet address (MAC address) of the print server and ipaddress is the IP address of the print server. For example:

Windows® Systems require the colon ":" character between each digit of the Ethernet address.

Typically, Unix systems require the hash "-" character between each digit of the Ethernet address.

arp -s 192.189.207.2 00-80-77-31-01-07

3 Y ou must be on the same Ethernet segment (thatis, there cannot be a router between the print server and operating system) to use the arp -s command.

Ifthere is a router, you may use BOOTP or other methods described in this chapter to enter the IP address.

If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP orRARP your Brother print server can receive an |P address from any one of these IP address allocation systems. In which case, you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once. For security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP address of a Brother print server using the ARP command, you cannotuse the ARP command again to change the address. The print server will ignore any attempts to do this. If you wish to change the IP address again, use a Web Browser, TELNET (using the SET IP ADDRESS command) the printer's control panel (if your printer has an LCD panel) or factory reset the print server (which will then allow you to use the ARP command again).

To configure the print server and to verify the connection, enter the following command ping ipaddress where ipaddress is the IP address ofthe printserver. Forexample, ping 192.189.207.2.

10-7 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Using RARP to Configure the IP Address

The Brother print server's IP address can be configured using the Reverse ARP (rarp) facility on your host computer. This is done by editing the /etc/ethers file (if this file does not exist, you can create it) with an entry similar to the following:

00:80:77:31:01:07 BRN 310107

Where the first entry is the Ethernet address of the print server and the second entry is the name of the print server (the name must be the same as the one you putin the /etc/hosts file).

Ifthe 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). To verify that the rarp daemon is running on a Berkeley UNIX-based system, type the following command:

ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep rarpd For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type: ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd

The Brother print server will getthe IP address from the rarp daemon when the printer is powered on.

TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 10 -8

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Using BOOTP to Configure the IP Address

BOOTP is an alternative to rarp that has the advantage of allowing configuration of the subnet mask and gateway. In order to use BOOTP to configure the IP address make sure that BOOTP is installed and running on your host computer (it should appear in the /etc/services file on your host as a real service; type man bootpd or refer to your system documentation for information). BOOTP is usually started up via the /etc/inetd.conf file, so you may need to enable it by removing the "#' in front of the bootp entry in that file. For example, a typical bootp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file would be:

#bootp dgram udp wait /usr/etc/bootpd bootpd -i

Depending on the system, this entry might be called "bootps"instead of "bootp".

In order to enable BOOTP, simply use an editor to delete the "#' (ifthere is no "#", then BOOTP is already enabled). Then editthe BOOTP configuration file (usually /etc/bootptab) and enter the name, network type (1 for Ethernet), Ethernet address andthe IP address, subnet mask and gateway ofthe print server. Unfortunately, the exact format for doing this is not standardized, so you will need to refer to your system documentation to determine how to enter this information {many UNIX systems also have template examples in the bootptab file that you can use for reference). Some examples of typical /etc/bootptab entries include:

BRN_310107 1 00:80:77:31:01:07 192.189.207.3

10 -9 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Certain BOOTP host software implementations will not respond to BOOTP requests if you have notincluded 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.

Configuring the IP Address with BRCONFIG Users of Novell networks have additional alternatives for configuring the IP address of Brother print servers by using the remote console facility.

On a NetWare network, you can use the BRCONFIG utility which is included with every print server.

Execute BRCONFIG from the Windows® menu. Select the corresponding server name from the list of print servers. When you get the message that the print server is connected, type the default password access in response to the “# prompt.

You will be prompted for a user name. Enter anything in response to this prompt.

You will then getthe Local> prompt. Type SET IP ADDRESS ipaddress, where ipaddress is the desired IP address you wish to assign to the printserver (check with your network manager forthe IP address to use). For example:

Local> SET IP ADDRESS 192.189.207.3 You will now need to setthe subnetmask by typing SET IP SUBNET subnet mask, where subnet mask is the desired subnet mask you wish to assign to the print server (check with your network manager for the subnet mask to use). For example:

Local> SET IP SUBNET 255.255.255.0

TCP/IP CONFIGURATION 10 - 10

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

If you do not have any subnets, use one of the following default subnet masks:

255.255.255.0 for class C networks 255.255.0.0 for class B networks 255.0.0.0 for class À networks

The leftmost group of digits in your IP address can identify the type of network you have. The value of this group ranges from 192 through 255 for Class C networks (e.g., 192.189.207.3), 128 through 191 for Class B networks (e.g.,128.10.1.30), and 1 through 127 for Class À networks (e.g., 13.27.7.1).

If you have a gateway (router), enter its address with the command SET IP ROUTER routeraddress, where routeraddress is the desired IP address of the gateway you wish to assign to the print server. For example:

Local> SET IP ROUTER 192.189.207.1

Type SET IP METHOD STATIC to setthe method ofIP access configuration to static.

To verify that you have entered the IP information correctly, type SHOW IP.

Type EXIT or CTR-D (i.e., hold down the control key and type "D") to end the remote console session.

Changing the IP Address settings with the TELNET Console

You can also use the TELNET command to change the IP address.

Using TELNET is effective way, when you change the IP address. But a valid IP address must already be programmed into the print server.

If you are using the TELNET, you will be expected to enter the password of the print server. Press RETURN and enter the default password of access in response to the "#"' prompt (it will not echo).

You will be prompted for a user name. Enter anything in response to this prompt.

10-11 TCP/IP CONFIGURATION YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Local> SET IP ADDRESS 192.189.207.3

You will now need to setthe subnetmask by typing SET IP SUBNET subnet mask, where subnet mask is the desired subnet mask you wish to assign to the print server (check with your network manager for the subnet mask to use). For example:

Local> SET IP SUBNET 255.255.255.0

If you do not have any subnets, use one of the following default subnet masks:

255.255.255.0 for class C networks 255.255.0.0 for class B networks 255.0.0.0 for class À networks

Local> SET IP ROUTER 192.189.207.1

Type SET IP METHOD STATIC to setthe method ofIP access configuration to static.

To verify that you have entered the IP information correctly, type SHOW IP.

Type EXIT or CTR-D (i.e., hold down the control key and type "D") to end the remote console session.

Other Sources of Information

This chapter describes procedures for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with a Brother print server, it is divided into the following sections:

intermittent Problems

Protocol-S pecific Troubleshooting

Installation problems

If you cannot print over the network, check the following:

Make sure thatthe printer is powered on, is on-line and ready to print.

Verify that the printer and the configuration are good by printing the printer settings page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide. Ifthe test fails, check:

Ifthe LED is not blinking after connected to the network, then the network firmware settings may be corrupted. Please refer to Step 3.

In this event, try to restore the factory default settings of the print server. To learn how to reset the print server, see Chapter 3 "Network factory default setting" on page 3-11 of the User's Guide. Once you have done that, switch the printer off and then on again, and try to print out the configuration

11-1 TROUBLESHOOTING YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Ifthe configuration page prints but you cannot print documents, try the following

If none of the following steps are successful, there is almost certainly a hardware or network problem!

If you are using TCP/IP:

Try pinging the print server from the host operating system command prompt with the command:

Where ipaddress is the printserverlP address (note thatin some instances it can take up to two minutes for the print server to load its IP address after setting the IP address). fa successful response is received, then proceed to the UNIX, TCP/IP Windows® NT/LAN Server, Windows ®98/95/Me Peer to Peer (LPR), Internet Printing or Web Browser troubleshooting section. Otherwise, proceed to step 3, and then go to TCP/IP Troubleshooting section.

If you are using Novell system:

Verify that the print server can be seen on the network. To do this, login as the SUPERVISOR (not as someone with supervisor privileges) or ADMIN (for Netware 4 or later servers), go into PCONSOLE or NWADMIN, select PRINT SERVER INFORMATION, and select the name of the print server (make sure that you have entered the print server name). If you can see Print Server Status and Control in the menu, then the Brother print server is visible to the network, proceed to the Novel NetWare Installation Troubleshooting Section. Otherwise, go to step 3.

If you are running AppleTalk for Macintosh:

Make sure that you can see the print server name under the LaserWriter 8 icon in the Chooser. Ifitis visible, then the connection is good, so proceed to the AppleTalk for Macintosh Section. Otherwise, go to step 3.

If you use the Rendevous function, please visit the Brother Solutions Center web site on: http://solutions.brother.com

11-2 TROUBLESHOOTING YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

If you cannot make any of the connections in step 2, check the following:

Make sure the printer is powered on and on-line.

Check the cabling, network connection, and print out a configuration page in the Network STATISTICS information to see if bytes are being transmitted and received.

Check to see ifthere is any LED activity.

The NC-5100h print server has two LEDs on the back panel of the printer. The upper side LED shows Link/Speed status. The lower side LED shows Activity (Receive/Transmit) status.

Ifthe both of two LEDs are off, then the print server is not connected to the network.

Link/S peed LED is orange: Fast Ethernet

The Link/Speed LED will be orange if the print server is connected to a 100BaseTX Fast Ethernet network.

Link/S peed LED is green: 10BaseT Ethernet

The Link/S peed LED will blink ifthe print serveris receiving or transmitting data.

If you are using a repeater or hub, make sure that SQE (heartbeat) is turned off at the hub (if applicable). Also, if you have a hub or multi-port repeater, verify thatthe hub or repeater portis good by trying the print server on a different portor on the other hub or multi-port repeater.

If you have a bridge or router located between the print server and host computer, make sure that the device is setup 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. Likewise, a router can be setup to pass only certain protocols, so be sure that the desired protocol can be passed through to the print server.

TROUBLESHOOTING 11 - 3

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Ifthe job exits the queue but does not print, make sure that you are not trying to print a text job to a PostScript printer. If you have a printer that is capable of automatic language switching, make sure that the printer is not forced into PostScript mode.

Intermittent Problems

Ifthe print server and printer start up OK, but you intermittently have problems printing, check the following:

If you can print small jobs but large graphics jobs are distorted or incomplete, make sure that you have adequate memory in your printer and the latest printer driver installed on your computer. The latest Brother printer drivers can be downloaded from http://solutions.brother.com

Check the individual protocol troubleshooting sections in this chapter for additional causes of intermittent printer problems.

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:

7" is always à good idea to try following in order to eliminate the possibility of setup errors.

Turning off the printer and then again, Deleting and recreating the print server and creating a new print queue in order to eliminate the possibility of setup errors.

The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP address. Verify that the IP address is correctly loaded into the print server (via the configuration page. Make sure that no other nodes on the network have this address (DUPLICATE IP ADDRESS ARE THE BIGGEST CAUSE OF TCP/IP PRINTING PROBLEMS).

11-4 TROUBLESHOOTING YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

If you used BRCONFIG, NCP or to enterthe IP address, make sure that you exited the remote console properly with a CTRL- D or EXIT and that you turned the printer off and then again (it may take up to two minutes for the IP address to take effect).

Make sure thatthe TCP/IP protocol of the print server is enabled.

If you used rarp, make sure that you started the rarp daemon on any workstation using the rarpd, rarpd-a, or equivalent command. Verify thatthe /etc/ethers file contains the correct Ethernet address and that the print server name matches the name in the /etc/hosts file.

If you used bootp, make sure that you started the bootp daemon on any UNIX workstation and bootp is enabled (i.e., the "#" is removed from the bootp entry) in the /etc/bootptab file is correctly configured.

Also verify that host computer and the print server are either on

the same subnet, otherwise that the router is properly configured to pass data between the two devices.

UNIX Troubleshooting

Make sure thatthe /etc/printcapfile (if applicable) is typed in correctly. In particular, look for missing ":" and "\" characters, because a small error anywhere in the file can have major consequences. Also check the /usr/spool directory to make sure that you have created a valid spool directory.

If you are using a Linux operating system, the X-Window Print tool program that is included with Linux may not properly configure the etc/printcap file for Ipd operation, then you might also editthe etc/printcap file and change the following line in the entry for the printer.

if ilp = /dev/null: \

TROUBLESHOOTING 11-5

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

If you are using a Berkeley-based UNIX, make sure that the daemon is started on Berkeley based systems with the command lpc start printer, where printer is the name ofthe local print queue.

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).

Make sure thatthe Ipr/Ipd remote line printer service are running on the host computer (refer to your host computer documentation for information on how to do this).

If you are having trouble printing more than one job at a time, try increasing the IP timeout using the SET IP TIMEOUT command or using BRAdmin.

If text or PCL jobs are run together, try setting the service (remote printer) with EOT set to string number 2 (ESC>E). For example:

SET SERVICE BRN xxxxxx P1 EOT 2

If PostS cript jobs fail to print or are run together, try setting the service (remote printer) with EOT set to string number 3 (control-D). For example:

SET SERVICE BRN xxxxxx_ P1 EOT 3

Ifthe lines of a text file are staggered, make sure that you have specified a remote printer (rp) name of TEXT in your /etc/ printcap file.

If you are using Sun Solaris V2.4 or earlier, there is a bug which causes long print jobs to fail when using a print server. If you are having trouble printing long jobs (over 1MB), add the line mx#0 to your etc/printcap file entry.

If you cannot print from DEC TCP/IP Service for VMS (UCX), make sure that you have version 2.0B or later of this software, because earlier versions will not work with Brother print servers.

Windows® NT/LAN Server (TCP/IP) Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble printing with Windows® NT or LAN Server, check the following:

Make sure that TCP/IP and TCP/IP print service are installed and running on the Windows® NT system orthe LAN Server file server.

If you are using DHCP and you have not created a reservation for the printserver, make sure that you enter the NetBIOS name ofthe print server in the Name or address of server providing Ipd box.

If you are having trouble printing on a Windows® 95/98/Me P eer-to- Peer network (LPR method), check the following:

Make sure that the Brother LPR Port driver is correctly installed and configured according to the Windows® 95/98/Me P eer-to- Peer chapters.

Try to turn the Byte Count on in the Configure port area of printer driver properties.

You may find that during the installation of BLP software, the screen that prompts you for a Portname is not displayed. This may happen

Brother Internet Print (TCP/IP) Troubleshooting

The first step in troubleshooting is to make sure that you have a valid E-mail connection on both the sending PC and the receiving print server. Try sending an E-mail message from the PC to a user atthe remote site who can receive mail via the POP3 server. If this does not work, there may be an E-mail configuration problem on the PC, on the local E-mail server, or on the remote POP3 server. Double check to make sure thatthe E-mail parameters that you configured on the PC and on the remote print server match those that are configured on the E-mail servers.

If you can print small files OK but are having problems printing large files, the problem may be in the e-mail system! Some E-mail systems have difficulties printing large files. If the file does not reach its destination intact, then the problem is with the E-mail system.

You can also enable the partial e-mail print facility on your client PC, this will splitthe e-mail up into fragments which should then notoverwhelm your e-mail server. To do this, selectthe property dialog of the Brother Internet Print Port.

Want to use a different Port number other than 631

If you are using Port 631 for IPP printing, you may find that your firewall may not let the print data through. If this is the case, use a different port number (port 80), or configure your Firewall to allow Port 631 data through.

To send a print job using IP P to a printer using P ort 80 (the standard HTTP port) enter the following when configuring your Windows® 2000/XP system.

http://ip address/ipp

You must be using version 4.0 or later of Internet Explorer and the

Microsoft Internet Print Services software must be installed on your client computers.

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 thatthe Brother print server is attached to the server queue by going to PCONSOLE, selecting PRINT QUEUE INFORMATION, and then CURRENTLY ATTACHED SERVERS. If the print server does not appear in the list of attached servers, then check the following:

Itis always a good idea to try followings in order to eliminate the possibility of setup errors.

Turning off the printer and then on again to force to rescan the Netware queue.

Deleting and recreating the print server and creating a new print queue in order to eliminate the possibility of setup errors.

11-10 TROUBLESHOOTING YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

If you changed the login password, you must change the password in both the Brother print server (using the SET NETWARE PASSWORD command if you are using the BRConfig software) or by using a web browser orthe BR Admin application and in the file server (using the PCONSOLE Print Server Information Change Password command).

If you created the print queue using PCONSOLE and instead of BRAdmin, make sure that you have enabled at least one NetWare file server using the SET NETWARE SERVER servername ENABLED command.

Have you exceeded your NetWare user limit?

Make sure that the print server name you used in PCONSOLE exactly matches the name that is configured in the print server, and make sureitis defined as a Queue Server forthe print queue.

If you are running both 802.3 and Ethernet Il frames on different file servers on your network, there is a possibility that the print server may not make a connection to the desired file server. Try forcing the frame type to the desired one using the SET NETWARE FRAME command from the print server remote console or using BRAdmin.

If you are using DOS CAPTURE statement and losing portions of your print job, try setting the TIMEOUT parameter in your CAPTURE statement to a higher value (at least 50 seconds for Windows).

AppleTalk Troubleshooting

If you cannot print from an AppleTalk for Macintosh computer and you have checked the hardware and network as described in the previous steps, then check the following:

Make sure that you are running Phase 2 AppleTalk and that you have selected the correct network interface from the AppleT alk Control Panel on the Macintosh.

Make sure that the AppleTalk protocol of the print server is enabled.

TROUBLESHOOTING 11-11

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

If you have a large network, make sure that you have the Laser Writer V8.xx or equivalent driver, since earlier versions may cause PostScript errors. Also, verify that you get the correct printer information when you select Printer Info from the Setup button in the Chooser.

Make sure that you have selected the correct P rinter Description File {PPD) from the Chooser (otherwise PostScript errors may result).

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. lfthis is the case, you may need to force the zone name using BRAdmin, a web browser or the SET APPLETALK ZONE command from TELNET.

DLC/LLC Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble printing with DLC/LLC, check the following:

Make sure that the DLC/LLC protocol is enabled using either BRAdmin, a web browser or TELNET.

Make sure thatthe MAC address ofthe Windows® setting is the same as shown in the print configuration page printout.

Web Browser Troubleshooting (TCP/IP)

Ifyou can notconnectto the print server using your web browser it may be worth checking the Proxy Settings of your browser. Look in the E xceptions setting and if necessary, type in the IP address ofthe print server. This will stop your PC from trying to connect to your ISP or proxy server every time you wish to look atthe printer server.

Make sure that you are using the proper Web Browser, we recommend Netscape Navigator version 4.0 or later/ Microsoft Internet E xplorer version 4.0 or later.

You can change the configuration of your print server using any of the following methods.

+ Web] etAdmin Software

+ TELNET (command utility)

+ Brother BRCONFIG NetWare Utility (command utility)

BRAdmin (Recommended)

The Brother BRAdmin application can use the TCP/IP orIPX/SPX protocol. This utility allows you to graphically manage aspects ofthe network and printer. It can also be used to upgrade the firmware of the print server.

The Web BRAdmin software is designed to manage all LAN/WAN Brother network connected devices. By installing the Web BRAdmin server software on a computer running IIS*, Administrators with a Web browser can connect to the Web BRAdmin server, which then communicates with the device itself. Unlike the BRAdmin Professional software - which is designed for Windows® systems only - the Web BRAdmin server software can be accessed from any client computer with a web browser that supports J ava.

Please note this software may not be included on the CD-ROM that was supplied with your Brother product. If it was not, please visit http://solutions.brother.com/webbradmin to learn more about this software and to download it.

HS* = Internet Information Server 4.0 or 5.0

À - 1 APPENDIX YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

HTTP (Recommended) Use your favorite web browser to connect to the Brother print server. This will allow you to configure printer and/or printserver parameters.

Web] etAdmin Brother's print server range is HP Web] etAdmin compatible.

TELNET To connect to the print server using TELNET on UNIX, Windows NT, or most other TCP/IP systems, type: TELNET ipaddress atthe command prompt of the system prompt, where ipaddress is the IP address ofthe printserver. When you are connected, push RETURN or ENTER to getthe "#"' prompt, enter the password access (the password will not appear on the screen), and type anything in response to the Enter Username> prompt. When you see the Local> prompt, you are ready to enter commands.

Enter HELP atthe command prompt for a list of supported commands.

BRCONFIG The Brother BRCONFIG utility runs from the DOS system prompt and is installed with BRAdmin. To connectthe print server using the Brother BRCONFIG NetWare utility, choose the BRCONFIG utility from the Brother BR Admin utilities menu. If you have only one print server, you will be immediately connected to that server. If you have more than one print server, you will be given a list of available print servers. Type the number of the print server to which you wish to connect. When you are connected, enterthe password access (the password will not appear on the screen) atthe "#"' prompt, and type anything in response to the Enter Username> prompt. When you get the Local> prompt, you are ready to enter commands. To use BRCONFIG, a Novell Server (running the IP X protocol) is necessary and an active connection must be made to the server.

Enter HELP atthe command prompt for a list of supported commands.

A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print to the Brother print server. The Brother print server provides the following predefined services (do a SHOW SERVICE command in the Brother print server remote console to see a list of available

services): Enter HELP atthe command prompt for a list of supported

TCP/IP binary, NetBIOS service.

TCP/IP text service (adds carriage retum after each line feed).

BRN xxxxxx_P1 AT AppleTalk and LPD service for Mac OS 8.6 or later.

NetWare service (TCP/IP is enabled for backwards compatibility).

Where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet address (for example, BRN_310107 P1).

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. To get the latest firmware update, visit the Brother Solutions web site at http://solutions.brother.com/

LF50me software versions that we provide will automatically

factory reset your print server parameters. We try to avoid doing this. However, ifwe add a significant new feature to our print server, it can result in the print server being factory reset.

Because of this, we STRONGLY recommend that you make a note of the current print server configuration before you upgrade. To do this, print out a configuration page (refer to your Quick Setup Guide for information on how to print a configuration page).

There are three methods of upgrading the firmware in your Brother print server:

Use the BRAdmin application (Recommended)

Use the FTP protocol (Recommended if running on Macintosh or Unix network)

Use another system (such as a Novell or Unix system to send the new firmware file to the print server).

À - 4 APPENDIX YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

Reloading firmware using BRAdmin

The BRAdmin application can be used to easily re-program your Brother print server.

Highlight the appropriate print server. Then press select the Control menu and choose Load Firmware. You can select more than one print server by pressing CTRL+<select> or SHIFT+<select> on each additional print server.

There are three possible ways of sending the new software version to the print server. For whichever method you select, you must enter a password for the print server. The default password for the print server is access.

TFTP PUT from this host

Use this method if you have TCP/IP already installed on your PC. BRAdmin will use the TFTP protocol to send the new firmware data to the print server.

TFTP GET from a server

If you have a TFTP server installed in your network (many Unix systems provide TFTP support), you may wish to use this option. The new firmware file must be located in the TFTP BOOT directory on your TFTP server. In this case, your PC makes the print server read the firmware data from the assigned TFTP server. If you do not provide the correct file name, then the upgrade will fail. You must also ensure that the firmware file is set so that the print server can read the file. On Unix systems you can use the chmod command to specify file attributes. For example, chmod filename 666 allows the filename to be accessed by anyone. Also make sure that the TFTP service is running on your Unix server.

Netware GET from a server

You must have a Netware server on your network (running IP X/ SP X) and you muststore the new firmware file in the SYS/Login directory of the server. In this case, your PC makes the print server read the firmware data from the assigned Netware server, the print server attaches to the Netware server and reads the firmware itself.

YL4US_FAX2800MFC4800-FM5.5

The Data LED on the printer control panel will blink during the firmware file loading process. During programming process, the backlight on the printer's LCD goes off, and Erase xxxxxx and Write xxxxxx Will be indicated alternately on the LCD. After the firmware update is completed, the printer will re-start automatically. DO NOT TURN OFF THE PRINTER DURING THESE PROCESSES.

Ifthe Data LED does notstop blinking after abouttwo minutes, check to make sure that you correctly entered all parameters and that your network connections are good. Then power the print server/printer off and then on again, to retry the download.

If you encounter problems upgrading the firmware and you find thatthe network portion ofthe printer no longer functions, you should try re-programming the print server by using the COPY command from the DOS prompt of your PC. To do this, connect a parallel cable between your PC and printer and use the command COPY filename LPT1:/B (where filename is the new firmware file).

Reloading using the FTP Protocol from a command prompt

By specifying the print server PASSWORD AS THE USERNAME when logging on, it becomes possible to upgrade the firmware ofthe print server or printer (if supported). The following example assumes that the print server password is "cambridge"

> 56B°rè Read command OK. 70 > has Haëh mark printing on ftp: (2048 bytes/hash mark) . ftp> send brnt261.blf 200 Ready command OK. 150 Transfer Start

HER HER HER HR ARR FERRER RER HART HART HR FERRER RER HART HART HR FERRER RARE RARE HART HER HR RARE 226 Data Transfer OK/Entering FirmWareUpdate mode. fie: 1498053 bytes sent in 8.52Seconds 77Kbytes/sec. fl > close 226 Data Transfer OK. ftp> quit

When you see "226 Data Transfer OK/Entering FirmWareUpdate mode", you can be sure that the firmware file is being transferred to the print server. If you do not see this message, the file you are sending to the printer will either be ignored or the printer will print garbage.

D: You must use the "bin" command to put the FTP client into Binary communications mode. If you do not specify the bin command the upgrade process will not function correctly.
