For Windows

Overview

Microsoft's Windows
networking capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows
be configured as a client workstation in a file server based network
environment.
For smaller networks, Windows
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.
Quick Tips:
1
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, set APIPA to Off using control panel. For more
information, see page 3-9. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the
default IP address of a Brother Print/Scan server is 192.0.0.192.
To change it, use the machine's control panel, the BRAdmin
Professional utility software or let your DHCP server allocate an
IP address to the printer.

Refer to chapter 2 of this user guide to learn how to configure
the IP address on your machine.
The default password for Brother Print/Scan server is access.

Driver Deployment Wizard
This installer includes the Windows driver and Brother network port
driver (LPR).
If the administrator installs the printer driver and port driver using this
software, they can save an executable file to the File server or send
the file in an E-mail to other users. By simply running the attached
executable file the user automatically installs and configures the
printer driver, port driver and IP address to their PC.
