access to network connected resources. The print server used on this Brother product supports the TCP/IP

(Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) protocols. TCP/IP is the most popular set of protocols used

for communication such as Internet and E-mail. This protocol can be used in almost all operating systems

such as Windows

, Macintosh

and Linux. The following TCP/IP protocols are available on this Brother
