Network Shared Printing
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.
■
In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment.
■
The “Server” or the “Print Server” must use the TCP/IP Print Protocol.
■
The Brother machine needs an appropriate IP address configuration unless the machine is shared via the
parallel port or USB port of the server.
