Types of Network Connections

Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP
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.
1 Router
 In a smaller network of two or three computers, we recommend the Peer-to-Peer printing method as it is
easier to configure than the Network Shared printing method. See Network Shared printing on page 176.
 Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.
 Your P-touch Label Printer needs an appropriate IP address configuration.
 If using a router, you must configure the Gateway address on the computers and your P-touch Label
Printer.
