Overview

To connect your machine to your wireless network, we recommend you to follow the steps in the Quick Setup 
Guide
 using Brother installer application on the CD-ROM which we have provided with the machine. By using 
this method, you can easily connect your machine to your wireless network.
Please read this chapter for additional methods on how to configure the wireless network settings. For 
information on TCP/IP settings, see How to change your machine’s network settings (IP address, Subnet 
mask and Gateway)
 on page 3.
Note
• To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Brother machine as close 
to the WLAN 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.
• Before configuring wireless settings, you will need to know your Network name: (SSID, ESSID) and 
Network Key. If you are using an enterprise wireless network you also need to know the User ID 
and Password.
