Network Shared printing
In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends and receives data to and from the Brother printer
via a centrally controlled computer. This type of computer is often called a “server” or a “print server”. Its job
is to control the printing of all print jobs.
■ In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.
■ The “server” or the “print server” must use the TCP/IP print protocol.
■ The Brother printer needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration.
■ The Brother printer needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the printer is shared via
the parallel or USB interface at the server.
■ The Brother printer can also communicate with Macintosh
