Overview

To connect your printer to your wireless network, you need to follow the steps in the Quick Setup Guide or

the Network User’s Guide. We recommend that you use the Brother installer application on the CD-ROM which we have provided with the printer. By using this application, you can easily connect your machine to 3 your wireless network and install the network software and printer driver which you need to complete the configuration of your machine for a wireless network. You will be guided by the on-screen instructions until

you are able to use your Brother wireless network machine.

If you want to configure your printer without using the Brother installer application, please read this chapter for more details on how to configure the wireless network settings. For information on TCP/IP settings, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 13. For Wireless configuration using the Wi-Fi Protected Setup or AOSS™ from the control panel menu, see Chapter 6. For Wireless configuration using the PIN Method of Wi-Fi Protected Setup, see Chapter 7.

Note

•To achieve optimum results with normal every day document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the network access point/router as possible with minimal obstructions. Large objects and walls between the two devices as well as interference from other electronic devices can affect the data transfer speed of your documents.

Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and applications. If you are printing large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large graphics, you may want to consider choosing wired Ethernet for a faster data transfer, or USB for the fastest throughput speed.

•Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection method can be used at a time.
