What is Networking? |
A network is simply a method of allowing computers to communicate with one another.
If you have two or more computers, a network can let them print to the same Brother
Label Printer.
Different network types use different hardware, but they all have the same essential
components:
- More than one computer
- Hardware (such as a router) and software (either built in to the operating system
or as a separate
application) to coordinate the exchange of information
- A path for the information to follow from one computer to another

Benefit of having a network label printer model? |
You can connect Brother Label Printers to a network to allow for multiple users
to access and print labels on the one machine. A network capable model also provides
flexibility in being able to allow the machine to meet your growing businesses needs. |

How can the Brother QL Label Printers be shared on a network?
|
All Brother QL Label Printers can be shared on a network in two ways:
- Shared through a networked computer that's used as the print server for the Brother
QL Label Printer (the process is the same as that for sharing a desktop printer).
- Using the optional PS-9000 USB print server connected directly to the Ethernet LAN.
