USER’S GUIDE

Configuring DLC on Other Systems
To use DLC on other network systems, you will generally need
vendor supplied software. Typically such software will support
the Brother print servers. Follow the vendor's instructions to
install the DLC protocol on your system.
Once the protocol is installed, create a network port in the same
way that you did for Windows NT in the previous sections. The
Ethernet address of the print server should automatically appear
during the configuration process.
The final step is to create a printer using the normal operating
system printer setup method. The only difference is that instead
of connecting the printer to the LPT1 parallel port, you point it
to the network port you just created.
✒ Note
Brother does not recommend using the DLC protocol with
Windows for Workgroup 3.11 in a peer-to-peer configuration
if the printer will be heavily used. This is because jobs may be
rejected due to print spooler timeouts. The best solution in
these situations is to set up one PC as a server for handling
network print jobs. All of the other PCs send their print jobs
to the server PC using NetBEUI or TCP/IP, and the server PC
then uses DLC to send the print jobs to the Brother print
server.
