Plastic bags are used in the packing of your machine. Plastic bags are not toys. To avoid the danger
of suffocation, keep these bags away from babies and children and dispose of them correctly.
• Save all packing materials and the box in case for any reason you must ship your machine.
• You need to purchase the correct interface cable for the interface you want to use (for USB or wired network
connection).
USB cable
It is recommended to use a USB 2.0 cable (Type A/B) that is no more than 2 metres long (cable not included).
Network cable
Use a straight-through Category5 (or greater) twisted-pair cable for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Network.

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
drivers and software. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and installation process.
To achieve optimum results with normal everyday 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.
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 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.
Although the Brother DCP-J925DW can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one of the connection
methods can be used at a time.
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.
On your machine, press Menu. Press Network.
Press a or b to display Network Reset, and then press Network Reset.
Press Yes to accept. Hold down Yes for 2 seconds to confirm.
