Network connection example 1
Generally there are two types of network connections: Peer-to-Peer and Network Shared environment.
Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP 1
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 printer 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 described on the following page. See Network
Shared printing on page 4.
 Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.
 The Brother machine 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
machine.
