Types of network connection
Wired network connection example
Generally speaking, there are two types of network connection: Peer-to-Peer environment and a Network
Shared environment.
Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP
In a Peer-to-Peer environment, each computer directly sends and receives data to and from the Brother
printer.
■ 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 1-5.
■ Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.
■ The Brother printer 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
printer.
■ The Brother printer can also communicate with Macintosh
