For Wireless Users:
To achieve optimum results with normal every day document printing, place the Brother machine as close to
the network access point (or 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 throughput speed.
