TCP/IP Printing

Brother’s Peer to Peer printing software requires the TCP/IP protocol 
to be installed on your Windows

®

 peer-to-peer computers and an IP 

Address has to be defined for the Print/Fax server. Refer to your 
Windows

®

 documentation for more information on how to configure 

the TCP/IP protocol on your Windows

®

 PC.

If you haven't already done so, configure the IP address of the 
machine, for more information on IP address configuration, refer to 
chapter 2 of this user guide.
