Network Shared printing

1

In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends data 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.

4 TCP/IP, USB or Parallel

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 unless the printer is connected 
via the parallel or USB interface at the server.
