We recommend that you use the automatic installer application on the CD-ROM we have provided with the machine. By using this application, you can easily connect your machine to your network and install the network software and printer driver which you need to complete the network configuration. You will be guided by the on-screen instructions until you are able to use your Brother network printer. Follow the instructions in the supplied Setup & Operation Guide.
