TCP/IP Printing
Brother’s Peer to Peer printing software requires the TCP/IP protocol
to be installed on your Windows
® peer-to-peer computers and an IP
Address has to be defined for the Print/Scan server. Refer to your
Windows
® documentation for more information on how to configure
the TCP/IP protocol on your Windows ® PC.
If you haven't already done so, configure the IP address of the
machine, for more information on IP address configuration, refer to
chapter 2 of this user guide.
