Network Shared printing 16
In a Network Shared environment, each computer sends data via a centrally controlled computer. This type
of computer is often called a “Server” or a “Print Server”. Its job is to control the printing of all print jobs.
 In a larger network, we recommend using a Network Shared printing environment.
 The “server” or the “print server” must use the TCP/IP print protocol.
 Your printer needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration, except when the printer is connected
via the USB interface to the server.
