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 MAC

address (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.

Other Sources of Information

printing.

Brother does not recommend using the DLC protocol with

Windows

for Workgroups 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.
