Overview

The Brother machine can be shared on a 10/100 MB wired Ethernet network using the internal network print
server. The print server supports various functions and methods of connection depending on the operating
system you are running on a network supporting TCP/IP. These functions include printing, scanning, PC-FAX
send, and Status Monitor. The following chart shows what network features and connections are supported
by each operating system.

computers you use.
