installation. (See Wireless configuration using the Brother installer application on page 37.)
Configuration temporarily using a USB or a network cable 3

Connecting a USB cable is available to either the wired computer or the wireless computer.
If there is an Ethernet Hub or Router in the same network as the wireless access point/router (A) of your

can then remotely configure the machine from a computer on the network.
