Network features1
Your Brother machine can be shared on a 10/100 MB wired or IEEE 802.11b/g wireless 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. The following chart 
shows what network features and connections are supported by each operating system.
Note
Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection 
method can be used at a time.
