Generally there are two types of network connections: Peer-to-Peer and Network Shared environment.
Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP 1
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.

2 Network printer (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 described on the following page. See Network
Shared printing on page 6.
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.
The Brother machine can also communicate with Macintosh (TCP/IP compatible operating systems).
