Macintosh Configuration
Brother print servers are compatible with the Brother printers using
AppleTalk and Apple Laserwriter 8 drivers (earlier versions of the
LaserWriter drivers may crash or cause PostScript errors on large
networks). If you do not have these drivers you must install them. Consult
your Macintosh documentation for instructions on how to do this.
Before you try to use the Brother print server, you must first enable the
EtherTalk protocol from the Network Control Panel on the Macintosh. If
the EtherTalk protocol is not selectable, or the Network Control Panel does
not exist, you must use Apple's Network Installer software to add these
capabilities.
Operation
Once the print server is installed and the printer is powered on, the Brother
print server service name (default is BRO_xxxxxx_P1_AT, where
"xxxxxx" is the last six digits of the Ethernet address; for example,
BRO_009C53_P1_AT) should appear in the Chooser.
How to Select the Print Server
1. Open the Chooser from the Apple Menu on the Macintosh, and then
click on the Laserwriter icon (if necessary, select the appropriate
AppleTalk zone from the Network Control Panel).
