Page 14: Unix Printing
Unix Printing Printing from Unix/Linux Using TCP/IP Overview Brother Print/Fax servers are supplied with the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. Since virtually all UNIX host computers support TCP/IP, this capability allows a printer to be shared on a UNIX Ethernet network. As with all protocols, TCP/IP communications can proceed concurrently while other protocols are active, this means that UNIX, NetWare, Apple, and other computers can share the same Brother print server over an...
Page 15: Tcp/Ip
When configuring the PRINTCAP file, pay particular attention to the service names, BINARY_P1 and TEXT_P1. TCP/IP Brother Print/Fax servers appear to the network as a UNIX host computer with a unique IP address running the lpd (line printer daemon) protocol. As a result, any host computer that supports the Berkeley remote LPR command can spool jobs to Brother print servers without the need for any special software on the host computer.
Page 16 The actual format of the entry may vary depending on your system, check your system documentation and also note the format of other entries in the /etc/hosts file. 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/Fax server (the name that appears on the printer configuration page), however, it is good practice to...
Page 17 Configure the /etc/printcap file on each host computer to specify the local print queue, the Print/Fax server name (also called remote machine or rm), and the Print/Fax server service name (also called remote printer, remote queue, or rp), and the spool directory.
Page 18 The rm and rp options are not available on some UNIX systems, so if necessary check your documentation to determine the equivalent options. Users of Berkeley-compatible UNIX systems can use the lpc command to obtain the printer status: %lpc status laser1: queuing is enabled printing is enabled...
Page 19: Linux Configuration
Linux Configuration If you do not wish to use the command line interface to configure your Linux distribution, you may wish to use the Linux Printer System Manager application on your GUI. To do this, do the following: From the Linux Printer System Manager screen, click the Add button.

SCO UNIX requires TCP/IP V1.2 or later to work with Brother print servers. You must first configure the /etc/hosts and /etc/printcap files as described in step 2. Then run the sysadmsh program as follows: Select Printers. Select Configure. Select Add. Enter the name of the print queue you entered in the /etc/printcap file as the Printer name.

Page 26: Other Sources Of Information
If you have not created a spool directory for the Brother Print/Fax server on your UNIX host computer, you will need to do so now (the printer setup utilities in HP/UX, AIX, Solaris 2.xx, and other systems will automatically create the spool directory). The lpd spool directory is usually located in the /usr/spool directory (check with your system manager to see if the location is different for your system).

■ At the remote site, an E-mail server receives the E-mail message. The remote Print/Fax server, which has its own E-mail address, uses the POP3 protocol (Post Office Protocol 3) to download the E-mail message from the E-mail server. It then decodes the attachment and prints it out on the printer.

Getting Connected Before sending or receiving an Internet Fax you must configure your Brother MFC to communicate with your network and mail server. You must ensure the following: a correctly configured IP address for your MFC, an E-mail address for your MFC, the mail server(s) IP address, mailbox name and password for your Brother MFC.
Page 124: Sending An Internet Fax
Sending an Internet Fax Sending an Internet Fax is the same as sending a normal Fax. If you have already programmed the addresses of the Internet Fax receivers into the MFC as Speed-Dial locations, you can send the Internet Fax by loading the document into the MFC, use the Fax Resolution key to set the preferred resolution and select a Speed- Dial number and pressing Start.
Page 125 By pressing the appropriate number key the correct number of times, you can access the character you want. Once Twice Three times Four times If you want to enter a blank space, press twice. If you specify more than 16 characters, the LCD panel will scroll the name to the left character by character.
Page 126: Receiving E-Mail Or Internet Fax
If you specify more than 16 characters, the LCD panel will scroll the name to the left character by character. You can enter up to 60 characters. Start Press to send the document. After the document is scanned, it is transmitted to the Recipient Internet Fax Machine automatically via your SMTP server.
