Safety Precautions

IMPORTANT - For Your Safety

To ensure safe operation, the supplied three-pin plug must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power outlet that is properly grounded through the normal household wiring. Extension cords used with this printer must be threepin plug type and correctly wired to provide proper grounding. Incorrectly wired extension cords may cause personal injury and equipment damage. The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power is grounded and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding of the power, call a qualified electrician. This product should be connected to an AC power source within the range indicated on the rating label. DO NOT connect it to a DC power source. If you are not sure, contact a qualified electrician.

For wireless network users

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

First you must configure the wireless network settings of your printer to communicate with your network access point (router). After the printer is configured to communicate with your access point (router) computers on your network will have access to the printer. To use the printer from these computers, you will need to install the printer driver. 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 printer 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 photos or 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.

Important

The following instructions will install your Brother printer in a wireless network environment in infrastructure mode, using a wireless router or access point that uses DHCP to assign IP addresses. If

Network

you want to setup your printer in any other wireless environment you can find instructions in the Network User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.

Note

• If you are going to connect the printer to your network, we recommend that you contact your system administrator prior to installation.

• Before installation, if you are using Personal Firewall software (e.g. the Internet Connection Firewall available in Windows XP), disable it. Once you are sure that you can print, restart your Personal Firewall software.

If there is an Ethernet Hub or Router in the same network as the wireless access point of your printer, you can temporarily connect the Hub or Router to the printer using an Ethernet cable (B), this is an easy way to configure the printer. You can then remotely configure the printer from a computer on the network.

• Installation using a wireless computer.

For wireless network users

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

First you must configure the wireless network settings of your printer to communicate with your network access point (router). After the printer is configured to communicate with your access point (router) computers on your network will have access to the printer. To use the printer from these computers, you will need to install the printer driver. 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 printer 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 photos or 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.

Important

The following instructions will install your Brother printer in a wireless network environment in infrastructure mode, using a wireless router or access point that uses DHCP to assign IP addresses. If you want to setup your printer in any other wireless environment you can find instructions in the Network User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.

Note

• If you are going to connect the printer to your network, we recommend that you contact your system administrator prior to installation.

• Before installation, if you are using Personal Firewall software, disable it. Once you are sure that you can print, restart your Personal Firewall software.
