The following instructions will offer three methods for setting up your Brother machine on a wireless network. If
you began the wireless setup from step 6 on page 7 (for Macintosh and mobile devices) go to method b (Setup
Wizard). For all other users, choose the method you prefer for your environment.

XP, or currently using a computer connected to an access
point/router by network cable, you need to know your wireless settings. Please write down
your wireless network settings in the area below.
