10 Types of network connections and protocols 10 Types of network connections 10 Wired network connection example 10 Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP 10 In a Peer-to-Peer environment, each computer directly sends and receives data to each device. There is no central server controlling file access or machine sharing. TCP/IP TCP/IP 1 Router 2 Network machine (your machine) 10 In a smaller network of 2 or 3 computers, we recommend the Peer-to-Peer printing method as it is easier to configure than the Network Shared printing method. See Network Shared printing on page 73. Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol. The Brother machine needs an appropriate IP address configuration. If you are using a router, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother machine. Network Shared printing 10 In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends data via a centrally controlled computer. This type of computer is often called a "Server" or a "Print Server". Its job is to control the printing of all print jobs. 73
