Overview 8
To connect your machine to your network, you need to follow the steps in the Quick Setup Guide. We
recommend that you use the Brother installer application on the CD-ROM which we have provided with the
machine. By using this application, you can easily connect your machine to your network and install the
network software and printer driver which you need to complete the configuration of your printer for a network.
You will be guided by the on-screen instructions until you are able to use your Brother network machine.
If you are a Windows
®
user and want to configure your machine without using the Brother installer
application, use the TCP/IP protocol in a Peer-to-Peer environment. Please follow the instructions in this
chapter. This chapter explains how to install the network software and the printer driver which you will need
to be able to print using your network machine.
Note
• You must configure the IP address on your machine before you proceed with this chapter. If you need to
configure the IP address, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 15 first.
• Verify the host computer and the machine are either on the same subnet, or that the router is properly
configured to pass data between the two devices.
• If you are connecting to a Network Print Queue or Share (printing only), see Installation when using a
Network Print Queue or Share (printer driver only) on page 155 for installation details.
• The default password for Brother print server is “access”.
