Types of Network Connections

Wired network connection example

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.
Windows
TCP/IP
1 Switch or Router
2 Network printer (your machine)
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. (See Network Shared Printing on page 5.)
Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.
The Brother machine needs an appropriate IP address configuration.
If you are using a router, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother
machine.
