PRINTING FROM A MACINTOSH

®

 7 - 1

Brother print servers support the AppleTalk protocol running over 
Ethernet (also known as EtherTalk). This allows Macintosh

®

 users to 

print at the same time as all other Ethernet network using the 
AppleTalk (also referred to as EtherTalk) protocol. 

With the release of System 8.6 or later, Apple introduced a TCP/IP 
printing capability. This allows Macintosh

®

 users to send print jobs 

using the TCP/IP protocol. 

With the release of Mac OS

®

 X 10.2, Apple

®

 introduced Simple 

Network Configuration capabilities. These Simple Network 
Configuration capabilities support automatic network configuration. If 
you choose to use the the Simple Network Configuration capabilities 
features of your Brother product, you usually do not need to 
configure any IP address settings yourself.
