Overview 1
The Brother printer can be shared on a 10/100Mb wired or IEEE 802.11b/802.11g wireless (HL-4070CDW
only) Ethernet network using the internal network print server. The print server provides printing services for
Windows

2000/XP/XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows Vista™, Windows Server
®
2003/
2003 x64 Edition supporting the TCP/IP protocols and Macintosh OS
®
X 10.2.4 or greater supporting TCP/IP.
The following chart shows what network features and connections are supported by each operating system.

To use the Brother printer through a network, you need to configure the print server, and set up the computers
you use.
For Wireless Users (HL-4070CDW only):

To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Brother printer as close to the
network access point (router) as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the two
devices as well as interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your
documents.
Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and
applications. If you are printing large files, such as photos or multi-page documents with mixed text and large
graphics, you may want to consider choosing wired Ethernet for a faster data transfer, or USB for the fastest
throughput speed.
Although Brother HL-4070CDW can be used in a both wired and wireless network, only either one of the
connection methods can be used at a time.
