• The following instructions will install your Brother machine in a network environment using the Brother
installer application found on the installation CD-ROM we have provided with the machine.
• You can also setup your Brother machine using the machine’s control panel which we recommend. You
can find instructions in the supplied Quick Setup Guide or see Configuring your machine for a wireless
network on page 18.
• You must know your wireless network settings before you proceed with this installation.
If you are going to connect your Brother machine to your network, we recommend that you contact your
system administrator prior to installation.

• If you have previously configured the wireless settings of the machine, you must reset the network LAN
settings before you can configure the wireless settings again.
Press Menu, a or b to choose Network, press OK. Press a or b to choose Network Reset, press OK.
Press 1 or + to reset and then press 1 or + to accept the change. The machine will restart automatically.
• If you are using Windows
®
Firewall or a firewall function of anti-spyware or antivirus applications, disable
all personal firewall software (other than Windows
®
Firewall), anti-spyware or antivirus applications for the
duration of the configuration. Once you are sure that you can print, configure the software settings
following the instructions again.
• You need to temporarily use a USB cable (not included) or Ethernet cable (not included) during
configuration.
• If your router uses WEP encryption, enter the key used as the first WEP key. Your Brother machine
supports the use of the first WEP key only.
• Before configuring your machine we recommend you write down the SSID and Password (Network Key)
(if required) for your wireless network. You will need this information before you continue with the
configuration.
