INTRODUCTION
Overview
Brother print servers allow multiple host computers to share a Brother
printer on an 10Mbit or 100Mbit Ethernet network. Any user can print their
job as if the printer was directly connected to their computer. No special
software is required on the host computers and application programs run
without any modification. Because the Brother print servers provides multi-
protocol capabilities, users on DEC, UNIX, Novell, AppleTalk, LAN
Server/Warp Server, Windows NT, Windows 95/98, NetBIOS and Banyan
VINES computers can simultaneously access the same printer.
