Configuring Your Printer For A Network With An Ethernet Cable Connection Overview - Brother HL-4040CN Network User's Manual

Configuring your printer for a network
2
with an Ethernet cable connection
Overview
Before using your Brother printer in a network environment, you must configure the TCP/IP settings. In this
chapter, you will learn the basic steps required to print over the network using the TCP/IP protocol.
We recommend that you use the automatic installer application on the CD-ROM we have provided with the
printer. By using this application, you can easily connect your printer to your network and install the network
software and printer driver which you need to complete the network configuration. You will be guided by the
on-screen instructions until you are able to use your Brother network printer. Please follow the instructions in
the supplied Quick Setup Guide.
If you want to configure your printer without using the automatic installer application, refer to the remainder
of this chapter for more information.
Note
If you do not wish to, or are unable to use the automatic installer or any of Brother's software tools, you
can also use the printer's control panel to change network settings. For more information, see Control
panel setup on page 96.
