Introduction

Overview

The Brother machine can be shared on a 10/100 MB wired Ethernet network using the internal network print 
server. The print server supports various functions and methods of connection depending on the operating 
system you are running on a network supporting TCP/IP. These functions include printing, scanning, PC-FAX 
send, PC-FAX receive, Remote Setup and Status Monitor. The following chart shows what network features 
and connections are supported by each operating system.

* PC-FAX Send, PC-FAX Receive and Remote Setup functions are not available for DCP-8065DN

To use the Brother machine through a network, you need to configure the print server, and set up the 
computers you use.

In this chapter, you will learn the basic concept of the network function, connection and protocols. In Chapter 
2, you will read information on network configuration. In Chapter 3, you will learn how to configure the print 
server using the control panel. Chapter 4 through Chapter 6 describe how to configure your print server with 
your operating system:
