CHAPTER 1 UNIX PRINTING
TCP/IP
Brother print servers appear to the network as a UNIX host computer with a
unique IP address running the lpd, line printer daemon protocol. As a result, any
host computer that supports the Berkeley remote LPR command can spool jobs
to Brother print servers without the need for any special software on the host
computer. For special applications, raw TCP ports are also available.
The Brother print servers also support the FTP protocol. This protocol can be
used to send print jobs from Unix systems.
The Brother print server is pre-configured to run on a TCP/IP network with a
minimum of setup. The only mandatory configuration 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,
the printer control panel (if applicable), etc.
For setting the IP address of the print server, refer to the Quick Setup Guide or to
chapter 12 of this user guide.
