Network Shared printing
B
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.
In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.
The “server” or the “print server” must use the TCP/IP print protocol.
The Brother printer needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the printer is connected
via the USB or the serial interface at the server.
