The Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution protocol (LLMNR) resolves the names of neighboring computers, if the network does not have a Domain Name System (DNS) server. The LLMNR Responder function works in both the IPv4 or IPv6 environment when using a computer that has the LLMNR Sender function such as

Windows Vista® and Windows® 7.

Web Services

The Web Services protocol enables Windows Vista® or Windows® 7 users to install the drivers used for printing and scanning by right-clicking the machine icon from the Network folder. (See Installing drivers used

for printing and scanning via Web Services (Windows Vista® and Windows® 7) on page 93.) For details about scanning using Web Services, see the Software User’s Guide. The Web Services also lets you check the current status of the machine from your computer.

The HTTP protocol is used to transmit the data between a web server and a web browser.

FTP (For the Scan to FTP feature)

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another. FTP allows the Brother machine to scan black and white or color documents directly to an FTP server located locally on your network or on the internet.
