Note
We recommend Microsoft
Safari 1.3 (or greater) for Macintosh. Please also make sure that JavaScript and Cookies are always
enabled in whichever browser you use. If a different web browser is used, make sure it is compatible with
HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1.
You must use the TCP/IP protocol on your network and have a valid IP address programmed into the print
server and your computer.
Note
• To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see Configuring your machine for a network
on page 12.
• You can use a web browser on most computing platforms, for example, Macintosh and UNIX users are
also able to connect to the machine and manage it.
• You can also use the BRAdmin applications to manage the printer and its network configuration.
• This print server also supports HTTPS for secure management using SSL. (See Managing your network
printer securely on page 167.)
