Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP 1
In a Peer-to-Peer environment , each computer directly sends and re ceives data to each device. There is no
central server controlling file acce ss or printer sharing.

In a smaller network of 2 or 3 com puters, we recommend the Peer-to -Peer printing method as it is easier
to configure than the Network Shared Printing method. (See Network Shared Printing on page5.)
Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.
The Brother machine needs an ap propriate IP address configuration.
If you are using a router, the Gateway a ddress must be configured on the computers and the Brother
machine.
