Types of Network Connections and Protocols

You will find basic information about the advanced network features of the Label Printer, along with general
networking and common terms.
The supported protocols and network features differ depending on the model you are using.
Types of Network Connections

Peer-to-Peer printing using TCP/IP
20
In a Peer-to-Peer environment, each computer directly sends and receives data to each device. There is no
central server controlling file access or Label Printer sharing.

Router
In a smaller network of two or three computers, we recommend the Peer-to-Peer printing method as it is
easier to configure than the Network Shared printing method. See
Network Shared printing
on page 189.
Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol.
Your Label Printer needs an appropriate IP address configuration.
If using a router, you must configure the Gateway address on the computers and your Label Printer.
