The firmware on the print server is stored in flash memory. This means that you 
can upgrade the firmware by downloading the appropriate update file. To get the 
latest firmware update, access the Brother Solutions web site at 

 

 
Some software versions that we provide will automatically factory reset your 
print server parameters. We try to avoid doing this, however, if we add a 
significant new feature to our print server, it can result in the print server being 
factory reset. 
 
Because of this, we STRONGLY recommend that you make a note of the current 
print server configuration before you upgrade. To do this, Print out a 
configuration page (refer to your User’s Guide for information on how to print a 
configuration page).  
 
There are three methods of upgrading the firmware in your Brother print server: 
 

1.  Use the BRAdmin application (Recommended) 
2.  Use the FTP protocol (Recommended if running on Macintosh or 

Unix network) 

3.  Use another system (such as a Novell or Unix system to send the new 

firmware file to the print server).
