You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the printer settings page. Refer to the Quick Setup Guide for information on how to print the settings page on your print server. 6 The selected print server address will then appear in the smaller box under Card Address. 7 Type in any desired name for the port (the name must not be the name of an existing port or DOS device, such as LPT1) and click OK then on the Printer Ports screen, click Close. 8 The name you selected in the above step will appear as a checked port in the list of available ports. Click Next. 9 Select the correct driver. Click Next. 10 Give a name to the printer. If desired, select the printer as the default. 11 Select Shared or Not Shared. If shared, specify the share name and the operating systems that will be printing to it. 12 Select whether or not you want to print a test page, and then select Finish. 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®4.0 in the previous sections. The MAC address (Ethernet address) of the print server should automatically appear during the configuration process. 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. 8 - 4 DLC PRINTING

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
®
4.0 in the previous sections. The MAC
address (Ethernet address) of the print server should automatically
appear during the configuration process.
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.
You can find the node name and MAC address by printing out the
printer
settings
page. Refer to the
Quick Setup
Guide for
information on how to print the
settings
page on your print server.
