In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends data 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 machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the machine is
connected via the USB interface at the server.
