Types of network connections 1

Network connection example 1

Generally there are two types of network connections. Peer-to-Peer and Network Shared environment.

Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP 1

In a Peer-to-Peer environment, each computer directly sends and receives data to each device. There is no

central server controlling file access or printer sharing.

1 Switch or Router

2 Network printer (your machine)

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 6.

Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.

The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration.

If you are using routers, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother

machine.

The Brother machine can also communicate with Macintosh®. (TCP/IP compatible operating systems)
