Types of Network Connections and Protocols
20
You will find basic information about the advanced network features of the Brother printer, along with general
networking and common terms.
The supported protocols and network features differ depending on the model you are using.
Types of Network Connections
20
Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP
20
In a Peer-to-Peer environment, each computer directly sends and receives data to each device. There is no
central server controlling file access or printer sharing.
1
Router
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. See
Network Shared printing
on page 180.
Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.
Your Brother printer needs an appropriate IP address configuration.
If you are using a router, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and your Brother
printer.
