12 Network Scanning

To use the machine as a network scanner, the machine must be configured with a TCP/IP address. You can set or change the address settings from the control panel (see Control Panel Setup in the Network User’s Guide) or by using the BRAdmin Professional software. If you installed the machine following the instructions for a network user in the Quick Setup Guide then the machine should already be configured for your network.

Note

•	For network scanning, a maximum of 25 clients can be connected to one machine on a network. For example, if 30 clients try to connect at a time, 5 of those clients will not be shown on the LCD.
•	<For Windows^®> If your PC is protected by a firewall and is unable to network scan, you may need to configure the firewall settings to allow communication through port number 54925 and 137. (See Before using the Brother software.)
