Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP

20

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 Label Printer sharing.

1 Router

In a smaller network of two or three 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 189.

Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.

Your Label Printer needs an appropriate IP address configuration.

If using a router, you must configure the Gateway address on the computers and your Label Printer.
