Network Shared printing
In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends and receives data to and from the Brother printer
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.
The Brother printer needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the printer is shared via
the parallel or USB interface at the server.
The Brother printer can also communicate with Macintosh
®
(TCP/IP compatible operating systems)
devices.
