Configuring your machine for a network with an 
Ethernet cable connection

Overview

Before using your Brother machine in a network environment, you must configure the TCP/IP settings. In this 
chapter you will learn the basic steps required to print over the network using the TCP/IP protocol.

Note

You can configure the machine’s TCP/IP settings using the control panel on the front of the machine. For 
further information, see 

Control panel setup

 on page 4-1.

We recommend that you use the automatic installer application in the CD-ROM we have provided with the 
machine. By using this application, you can easily connect your machine to your network and install the 
network software and printer driver which you need to complete the network configuration. You will be guided 
by the on-screen instructions until you are able to use your Brother machine on the network. Please follow 
the instructions in the supplied Quick Setup Guide.

If you want to configure your machine without using the automatic installer application, please read this 
chapter and learn how to configure the TCP/IP settings. Then, in 

Chapter 5

 (for Windows

®

) and 

Chapter 6

 

(for Macintosh

®

), you will learn how to install the network software and the printer driver into the operating 

system running on your computer.

IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways

To use the machine in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure the IP address and subnet 
mask. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host 
computers. If it is not, you must properly configure the subnet mask and the gateway address.

IP address

An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each device connected to a network. An IP address 
consists of four numbers separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255.

Example: In a small network, you would normally change the final numbers.

192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3
