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 1-4.
■
Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.
■
The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration.
■
If you are using a router, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother
machine.
■
The Brother machine can also communicate with Macintosh
®
(TCP/IP compatible operating systems)
devices.
Network Shared printing
In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends and receives data to and from the Brother machine
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 machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration.
■
The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the machine is shared
via the parallel or USB interface at the server.
■
The Brother machine can also communicate with Macintosh
®
(TCP/IP compatible operating systems)
devices.
