Remote Installation via Printer Discovery (BETA)

This installation method has been tested on a limited number of devices. If you experience difficulties, please utilize manual installation.

The easiest way to install the MyQ Brother Embedded terminal is via remote installation from the MyQ Web administrator interface.

You do this by creating separate printer discoveries and adding a configuration profile to any one of them. Additionally, you can assign the discovered printers to a group and/or queue.

Before installation, make sure that the server hostname/IP address in MyQ > Settings > Network is correct. If it’s not, often due to a license update or upgrade, remote setup will fail.

image-20251006-111619.png

  Some older devices cannot use Server Alternative Name from the certificate:

  • If the server Hostname is used for the installation of the terminal the server Hostname must be defined in MyQ > Settings > Network > This server hostname.

  • If the server IP address is used for the installation of the terminal the server IP address must be defined in MyQ > Settings > Network > This server hostname.

To remotely install the MyQ Brother Embedded Terminal:

  1. Follow the instructions in the MyQ Print Server guide to create and configure a Printer Discovery.

  2. Next, create a configuration profile to attach to your Printer Discovery.

  3. The Brother section is displayed if the Brother terminal package is installed on the MyQ server.

Vendor-Specific Options: Brother

After you install the terminal package on the Print Server, the following vendor-specific option is available in Configuration Profiles:

  • Enable Remote Configuration - Configures the device automatically when remote configuration is completed. When disabled, the device is activated and the configuration of the device web UI must be completed manually via the steps in Configure Device Manually. The default value is Enabled.

image-20251024-142152.png

Applying changes on the terminal that were made in the Brother section requires a force remote configuration of the device.

Changing login methods

If you want to change login methods after the installation, you need to edit the configuration profile and reactivate your printer(s).

You can choose between two types of login:

  • Simple login - select up to three methods of login.

  • Two-step authentication -select a combination of the login methods.

To change the login type:

In the MyQ Web administrator interface, go to MyQ > Settings > Configuration Profiles.

Select the profile you want to change and click Edit on the main ribbon (or right-click and select Edit or double-click). Choose the login method in the panel to the right.

Click Save. A pop-up window tells you that you need to activate the printers again.

Click OK if you want to re-activate all the printers connected to this profile, or click Skip if you only want to change the settings for specific printers.

If you chose to skip, go to MyQ > Printers to open the Printers overview. Select the printer(s) to change, right-click and select Activate.

Restart the printing device(s).

When Login Portal is enabled the device features can’t be accessed without the user logging in first.
