Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP 8

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 machine sharing.

1 Router

2 Network machine (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 uu page 83.

 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.

Network Shared printing 8

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.
