1 Introduction 1 Computer Network Basics Overview The network-connected Brother machine allows multiple computers to carry out several independent print jobs on one machine. To use the Brother machine through a network, you need to select a protocol, configure the Print / Fax Server, and set up the computers you use. ■ Protocol selection and Print / Fax Server configuration If a Brother machine has been already connected to a network, please check the current protocol. In this case, you don't need to configure the Print / Fax Server. ■ Print / Fax Server Print / Fax Server activates the network functions built-in the Brother machine. Protocols Protocols are the standardized sets of rules for transmitting data on a network. Protocols allow the users to gain access to the networkconnected resources. ■ TCP/IP This is the most popular set of protocols used for communication such as Internet and E-mail. This protocol can be used in almost all the operation systems such as Windows®, Macintosh® and Linux. TCP/IP is suited to a large-scale network and is widely used for company networks. TCP/IP is also widely used as the print protocol. The Brother machine can use the TCP/IP-based protocols such as LPR and NetBIOS Name Resolution. 1 - 1 INTRODUCTION
