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 described on the following page. 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 routers, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother
machine.
The Brother machine can also communicate with Macintosh
®
. (TCP/IP compatible operating systems)

Note
Configuring your machine for a network 2
Overview 2
Before using your Brother machine on your network, you must install the Brother software and also configure
the appropriate TCP/IP network settings on the machine itself. To do this, we recommend that you use the
Brother installer on the Brother CD-ROM as this will guide you through the software and network installation.
Please follow the instructions in the supplied Quick Setup Guide.
If you do not wish to, or are unable to use the Brother installer or any of Brother’s software tools, you can
also use the machine’s control panel to change network settings. For more information, see Control panel
setup on page 18.
IP addresses, subnet masks and gateways 2
To use the machine in a networked TCP/IP environment, you need to configure the IP address and subnet
mask. The IP address you assign to the print server must be on the same logical network as your host
computers. If it is not, you must properly configure the subnet mask and the gateway address.
2
IP address 2
An IP address is a series of numbers that identifies each computer connected to a network. An IP address
consists of four numbers separated by dots. Each number is between 0 and 255.
Example: In a small network, you would normally change the final number.
• 192.168.1.1
• 192.168.1.2
• 192.168.1.3
9
Configuring your machine for a network
Note
Note
How the IP address is assigned to your print server: 2
If you have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server in your network (typically a UNIX®/Linux or Windows® 2000/XP,
®
Windows Vista
from the DHCP server and register its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services.
On smaller networks, the DHCP server may be the router.
For more information on DHCP, BOOTP and RARP, see Using DHCP to configure the IP
address on page 63, Using BOOTP to configure the IP address on page 64 and Using RARP to configure the
IP address on page 65.
If you do not have a DHCP/BOOTP/RARP server, the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol will
automatically assign an IP address from the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. For more information on
APIPA, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address on page 65.
If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. However, you can
easily change this IP address number to match with the IP address details of your network. For information
on how to change the IP address, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 12.
or Windows Server® 2003 network) the print server will automatically obtain its IP address
2
Subnet mask 2
Subnet masks restrict network communication.
Example: Computer1 can talk to Computer 2
• Computer 1
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Computer 2
IP Address: 192.168.1.3
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
0 denotes that there is no limit to communication at this part of the address.
In the above example, we can communicate with anything that has an IP address that begins with
192.168.1.x.
10
Configuring your machine for a network
Gateway (and router) 2
A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network and sends data transmitted via the
network to an exact destination. The router knows where to direct data that arrives at the gateway. If a
destination is located at an external network, the router transmits data to the external network. If your network
communicates with other networks, you may need to configure the Gateway IP address. If you do not know
the Gateway IP address then contact your Network Administrator.
