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/Scan server, and set up the computers you use. Protocols Protocols are the standardized sets of rules for transmitting data on a network. Protocols allow the users to gain access to 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 operating 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

Introduction
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/Scan server, and set up the computers
you use.
Protocols
Protocols are the standardized sets of rules for transmitting data on
a network. Protocols allow the users to gain access to network-
connected 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 operating 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.
