Network Shared printing
1
In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends data via a centrally controlled computer. This type
of computer is often called a “Server” or a “Print Server”. Its job is to control the printing of all print jobs.
1) Client computer
2) Also known as “Server” or “Print server”
3) TCP/IP, USB or parallel
4) Printer (your machine)
In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.
The “Server” or the “Print server” must use the TCP/IP print protocol.
The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the machine is
connected via the USB or the parallel interface at the server.
