On connection to the network, if the printer's 'BOOT Method' is 'Auto' the printer will attempt to automatically set the IP address and Subnet Mask
from a boot server such as DHCP or BOOTP. If a boot server cannot be found, an APIPA IP address will be allocated, such as
169. 254. [001-254]. [000-255]. If the 'BOOT Method' of the printer is set to 'Static' you will need to manually enter an IP address from the printer's
control panel.

TCP/IP
This menu has seven sections: BOOT Method, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, IP Boot Tries,
APIPA and IPv6.
BOOT Method
This field displays methods to obtain the IP address using TCP/IP protocols.
• Auto
In this mode, the printer will scan the network for a DHCP server, if it can find one, and if the DHCP
server is configured to allocate an IP address to the printer, then the IP address supplied by the DHCP
server will be used. If no DHCP server is available, then the printer will scan for a BOOTP server. If a
BOOTP server is available, and it is configured correctly, the printer will take its IP address from the
BOOTP server. If a BOOTP server is not available, the printer will scan for a RARP server. If a RARP
server also does not answer, the IP address is scanned through APIPA facility, see Using APIPA to
configure the IP address on page 141. After it is initially powered ON, it may take a few minutes for the
printer to scan the network for a server.
• Static
In this mode the printer's IP address must be manually assigned. Once entered the IP address is locked
to the assigned address.
• RARP
The Brother print server 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
