Fig. 3 Sharing on a File Server

If your printer is connected to a network through a parallel share, or via a print server
connected directly to the network cable, it is possible to send faxes from each client PC
directly to the printer.

For example: Printer1 has the External Fax Modem installed and is connected to the file
server through the network as shown above. The print queue for Printer1 is set on the file
server.

In order to send fax data from PC1 or PC2 to the External Fax Modem in Printer1, set
‘Print to the following port’ in the Properties of Brother FAX Share to the queue name of
the shared printer on the network, e.g. ‘\\NWserver\Printer1’ in the Printers folder of PC1
or PC2. (Refer to the illustration below for Windows 95/98/Me.)
