Important
Make sure that you have finished the
instructions from Step 1 Setting Up the
Machine on pages 4 through 15.
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
photos on glossy paper or 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 through put speed.
First you must configure the wireless network settings
of your machine to communicate with your network
access point (router). After the machine is configured
to communicate with your access point computers on
your network will have access to the machine. To use
the machine from these computers, you will need to
install the MFL-Pro Software Suite. The following
steps will guide you through the configuration and
installation process.
1 Write down the wireless network settings of
your access point or wireless router.

WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP or AES) (if needed)
_________________________
The WEP key is for 64bit encrypted networks
or 128 bit encrypted networks and can contain
both numbers and letters. If you do not know
this information you should see the
documentation provided with your access point
or wireless router. This key is a 64-bit or 128-bit
value that must be entered in an ASCII or
HEXADECIMAL format.
For example:
WPA/WPA2-PSK is a Wi-Fi

Protected Access
Pre-share key, which lets the Brother wireless
machine associate with access points using
TKIP or AES encryption (WPA-Personal).
WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP or AES) uses a Pre-
Shared Key (PSK) that is more than 8 and less
than 63 characters in length.
See the Network User’s Guide for more details.

e.g.
Hello (this is case sensitive)
64 bit
Hexadecimal:

128 bit ASCII: Uses 13 text characters.
e.g.
Wirelesscomms (this is case
sensitive)
128 bit
