Types of network connection
Generally speaking, there are two types of network connection: Peer-to-Peer environment and a Network
Shared environment.
Network connection example
Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP
In a Peer-to-Peer environment, each computer directly sends and receives data to and from the Brother
printer.
■
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 described on the following page. See
Network
shared printing
on page 1-3.
■
Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.
■
The Brother printer needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration.
■
If you are using routers, computers can access the Brother printer through the routers. (In this case, the
Gateway address must be configured to both computers and the printer.)
■
The Brother printer can also communicate with Macintosh
