Types of Network Connections and Protocols

You will find basic information about the advanced network features of the Brother P-touch labeling system,
along with general networking and common terms.
The supported protocols and network features differ depending on the model you are using.

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. For more information, see Network Shared
printing on page 209.
Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.
Your P-touch labeling system needs an appropriate IP address configuration.
If using a router, you must configure the Gateway address on the computers and your P-touch labeling
system.
