2 Configuring your machine for a network

Overview

Before using your Brother machine in a network environment, you must install the Brother software and also configure the appropriate TCP/IP network settings on the machine itself. In this chapter, you will learn the basic steps required to print over the network using TCP/IP protocol.
We recommend that you use the Brother installer on the Brother CD-ROM to install the Brother software as this will guide you through the software and network installation. Please follow the instructions in the supplied Quick Setup Guide.
Note Note
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.
