Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP

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.
1) Router
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. See Network Shared printing on page 5.
„ Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.
„ The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration.
„ If you are using a router, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother
machine.
