1 Introduction 1 1 Network Features 1 Your Brother machine can be shared on a IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless Ethernet network using the internal network scan server. The scan server supports various functions and connection methods, depending on your operating system and network configuration. The following chart shows what network features and connections are supported by each operating system. Operating Systems Windows® XP Windows Vista® Mac OS X v10.6.8, 10.7.x, 10.8.
Introduction Other Network Features 1 1 Scan to E-mail Server (ADS-1500W/ADS-1600W only) 1 Scan to E-mail Server allows you to send scanned documents using the Internet as the transport mechanism. (See Scan to E-mail Server (ADS-1500W/ADS-1600W only) on page 47.) Before using this function, you have to configure the necessary machine settings by using the machine’s control panel, BRAdmin Professional 3 or Web Based Management.
