Introduction

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

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
