USER’S GUIDE
2-2
The actual format of the entry may vary depending on your system, so
check your system documentation and also note the format of other entries
in the
etc/hosts
file.
✒
Note
•
The node name in this file does not necessarily need to be the same as
the one that is actually configured into the Brother print server (the
name that appears on the printer configuration page), however, it is
good practice to make the names the same. Some operating systems,
such as HP/UX, do not accept the “_” character in the default name,
for these systems you must use a different name).
•
In any case, the node name in the
/etc/hosts
file must match the
node name in the
/etc/printcap
file.
✒
Note
Some systems such as HP/UX and AIX allow you to enter the IP address
as the host name when setting up the print queue. If this is the case, you
do not need to configure the hosts file.
2. Choose which print server service you want to use. There are several
types of services available on Brother’s print servers. Binary services
pass data through unmodified and are therefore required for PCL or
PostScript rasterized graphics printouts. Text services add a carriage
return at the end of each line for proper formatting of UNIX text files
(which end in linefeed and do not have carriage returns). The text
service can also be used for non-rasterized graphics, such as ASCII
PostScript graphics or many types of PCL graphics.
Choose one of the available services (this service name will be used in
step 3):
BINARY_P1
Binary data
TEXT_P1
Text data (CR added)
You may set up multiple print queues on your UNIX host computer for
the same print server, each one with a different service name (for
example, one queue for binary graphics jobs and one for text jobs).
Refer to Appendix B for additional information on using services.

Note
This step applies to the majority of UNIX systems, including Sun OS (but
not Solaris 2.xx), Silicon Graphics (lpr/lpd option required), DEC
ULTRIX, DEC OSF/1, and Digital UNIX. SCO UNIX users should
follow these steps, but should also refer to the SCO UNIX Configuration
section. Users of RS/6000 AIX, HP/UX, Sun Solaris 2.xx, and other
systems that do not use the printcap file.
