Network shared printing
In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends and receives data to and from the Brother machine
via a centrally controlled computer. This type of computer is often called a “Server” or a “Print Server”. Its job
is to access print jobs from other computers and then control the printing of these jobs.
■ In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.
■ The “Server” or the “Print Server” needs the TCP/IP Print Protocol configured.
■ The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the machine is shared
via the parallel or USB interface at the server.
