Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP

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 machine sharing.

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. See Network Shared printing uu page 87.

Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.

The Brother machine needs an appropriate IP address configuration.

If you are using a router, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother machine.
