Types of network connection

Network connection example

Generally there are two types of network connections: Peer-to-Peer and Network Shared environment.

Peer

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.

1 Router

2 Network printer

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 described on the following page. See Network

Shared printing on page 4.

Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.

The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration.

If you are using routers, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother

machine.
