Cleaning

iiiii

Preparing System Approx 4 Minutes

Caution

• DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do not need to replace them. If you do so, it may reduce the ink quantity and the machine will not know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge.

• DO NOT shake the ink cartridges. If ink stains your skin or clothing, wash with soap or detergent at once.

• DO NOT repeatedly insert and remove the cartridges. If you do so, ink may seep out of the cartridge.

• If you mix the colours by installing an ink cartridge in the wrong position, clean the print head several times after correcting the cartridge installation. (See Cleaning the print head in Appendix B of the User’s Guide.)

• Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the machine and use it up within six months of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by the expiration date written on the cartridge package.

• DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink cartridge, this can cause the ink to leak out of the cartridge.

• Brother multifunction machines are designed to work with ink of a particular specification and will work to a level of optimum performance when used with genuine Brother branded ink cartridges. Brother cannot guarantee this optimum performance if ink or ink cartridges of other specifications are used. Brother does not therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than genuine Brother branded cartridges with this machine or the refilling of empty cartridges with ink from other sources. If damage is caused to the print head or other parts of this machine as a result of using incompatible products with this machine, any repairs required as a result may not be covered by the warranty.

Connect your wireless machine and wireless network together: install the printer driver in infrastructure mode

First you must configure the wireless network settings of your machine to communicate with your network access point (router). After the machine is configured to communicate with your access point (router) computers on your network will have access to the machine. To use the machine from these computers, you will need to install the MFL-Pro Suite. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and installation process.

To achieve optimum results with normal every day document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the network 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.

The following instructions will offer two methods for installing your Brother machine in a wireless network environment. Both methods are for infrastructure mode, using a wireless router or access point that uses DHCP to assign IP addresses. If your wireless router/access point supports SecureEasySetup™ follow the steps on page 23 Using the SecureEasySetup™ software to configure your machine for a wireless network. If your wireless router/access point does not support SecureEasySetup™ follow the steps on page 25 Using the Setup Wizard from the control panel LAN menu for wireless network configuration. To set up your machine in any other wireless environment you can find instructions in the Network User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.

You can view the Network User’s Guide by following the instructions below. 1 Turn on your PC. Insert the Brother CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. 2 If the model name screen appears, click your model name. 3 If the language screen appears, click your language.

First you must configure the wireless network settings of your machine to communicate with your network access point (router). After the machine is configured to communicate with your access point (router) computers on your network will have access to the machine. To use the machine from these computers, you will need to install the MFL-Pro Suite. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and installation process.

To achieve optimum results with normal every day document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the network 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.
