The Brother machine can be shared on a 10/100 MB wired Ethernet network using the internal network print server. The print server supports various functions and methods of connection depending on the operating system you are running on a network supporting TCP/IP. These functions include printing, scanning, PC-FAX send, PC-FAX receive, PhotoCapture Center™, Remote Setup and Status Monitor. The following chart shows what network features and connections are supported by each operating system.
Operating Systems | 10/100 BASE-TX Wired Ethernet (TCP/IP) | Printing | Scanning | | | Photo Capture Center™ | | Status Monitor |
Windows® 98/98SE/Me/2000/XP/XP Professional x64 Edition | | | | | | | | |
Mac OS® X 10.2.4 or greater | | | | | | | | |
To use the Brother machine through a network, you need to configure the print server, and set up the computers you use.
In this chapter, you will learn the basic concept of the network function, connection and protocols. In Chapter 2, you will read information on network configuration. In Chapter 3, you will learn how to configure the print server using the control panel.
