To connect your machine to your wireless network, you need to follow the steps in the Quick Setup Guide.
Configuration using the CD-ROM installer and a USB cable is the recommended method for Windows
®
and
Macintosh users. By using this method, you can easily connect your machine to your wireless network.
For additional wireless configuration methods please read this chapter for more details on how to configure
the wireless network settings. For information on TCP/IP settings, see Changing your printer’s network
settings (IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway) uu page 2.
Note
To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, use the Brother printer 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. You can use USB for the fastest throughput speed.
Before configuring wireless settings, you will need to know your SSID and Network Key.
Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired
1
and wireless network, only one connection
method can be used at a time.
