Brother HL-5040 Manuale Utente

3 - 3 PEER TO PEER PRINTING

Start the CD-ROM installation menu program according to the 
Quick Setup Guide.

Select the proper model and then the Software Installation 
menu. Then select the appropriate menu to start the Brother 
Network Print Software installation program.

Push the Next button in response to the Welcome message.

Select the Brother Peer to Peer Print (LPR) button.

Select the desired directory to install the Brother Peer to Peer 
Print (LPR) files and push Next. The installation program will 
create the directory for you if it does not already exist on your 
disk.

Enter the Port name that you wish to use and click OK. The 
default port name is BLP1. Whichever name you choose, it must 
be unique and it MUST begin with BLP.

You must now enter the actual IP address of the print server in 
the Printer name or IP address field. If you have edited the 
hosts file on your computer or are using Domain Name System, 
you can also enter the name of the print server. As the print 
server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, you can also 
enter the NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name 
can be seen in your printer configuration page. By default the 
NetBIOS name will usually appear as 

BRN_xxxxxx

 where 

xxxxxx

 is the last six digits of the Ethernet address. 

If you already installed the driver from the printer’s CD-ROM 
Installer and you selected "Brother Peer-to-Peer Network 
Printer" during the installation then you do not need to install 
the Brother Network Print Software again.
