CHAPTER 6
APPLETALK NETWORK CONFIGURATION
✒ Note
To use the AppleTalk protocol, your printer must support BR-Script
(Brother's PostScript Emulation). Refer to your printer user guide for
more information. The printer must also support Tagged Binary mode.
The following Brother printers support Tagged Binary Mode:
HL-2060, HL-1660e, HL-2400C, BR-3000C (Postscript option board)
and HL-1070.
Brother print servers support the AppleTalk protocol running over Ethernet
(also known as EtherTalk). This allows Macintosh users to print at the same
time as all other Ethernet network users.
AppleTalk
Our AppleTalk capabilities allow a Brother printer to appear as a shareable
printer node on an AppleTalk Phase 2 network. The print servers broadcast
information to Macintoshes on the network and automatically appear in the
Chooser program of each Macintosh. Brother print servers support ASCII
and Binary printing.
✒
Note
If you are using a printer which does not support the BR-Script
Emulation, you should turn off the AppleTalk protocol so that the print
server does not appear in the Chooser program. The Brother external
interface automatically queries the printer, if it does not support tagged
binary postscript printing, the AppleTalk protocol is automatically
disabled.
