Important
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 colors 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 strongly recommends that you do
not refill the ink cartridges provided with
your machine. We also strongly recommend
that you continue to use only Genuine
Brother Brand replacement ink cartridges.
Using or attempting to use potentially
incompatible inks and/or cartridges in your
machine may cause damage to the machine
itself and/or it may result in unsatisfactory
print quality. Our warranty coverage does
not apply to any problem that was caused by
the use of unauthorized third party ink
and/or cartridges. To protect your
investment and guarantee your print quality
please continue to replace consumed ink
cartridges with only Genuine Brother
Branded Supplies.

Before you begin

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 MFC-6490CW can be used in a both wired and wireless network, only one of the connection
methods can be used at a time.
Infrastructure Mode

b Wireless Network machine (your machine)
c Wireless capable computer connected to the access point
d Wired computer connected to the access point
Important
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 a or b to choose Network and press OK.
Press a or b to choose Factory Reset, and then press OK.
Press 1 twice for Yes to accept the change.
Note
The following instructions are for infrastructure mode.
To set up your machine in any other wireless environment you can find instructions in the Network User's

You can view the Network User’s Guide by following the instructions below.

Confirm your network environment (Infrastructure Mode)

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. Choose a configuration method and proceed to the page indicated.
a If your wireless router/access point does not support SecureEasySetup™, Wi-Fi Protected Setup™
or AOSS™, write down the wireless network settings of your access point or wireless router.
Important
If you do not know this information (Network Name, WEP key or WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)),
you cannot continue the wireless setup. You should see the documentation provided with your
access point or wireless router, consult the router manufacturer, or your system administrator.
SSID (Service Set ID or Network name)
Authentication (Open System or Shared Key)/Encryption Type (None or WEP)
WEP Key (if needed)
1
WPA/WPA2-PSK Encryption type (TKIP or AES) (if needed)
2
WPA/WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) (if needed)
2
1
The WEP key is for 64-bit encrypted networks or 128-bit encrypted networks and can contain both numbers and letters. If you do
not know this information you should see the documentation provided with your access point or wireless router. This key is a 64-
bit or 128-bit value that must be entered in an ASCII or HEXADECIMAL format.
For example:
64-bit ASCII: Uses 5 text characters e.g. Hello (this is case sensitive)
64-bit Hexadecimal: Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data e.g. 71f2234aba
128-bit ASCII: Uses 13 text characters e.g.
Wirelesscomms (this is case sensitive)
128-bit Hexadecimal:
Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data e.g.
71f2234ab56cd709e5412aa3ba
2
WPA/WPA 2-PSK is a Wi-Fi Protected Access™ Pre-Shared Key, which lets the Brother wireless machine associate with access
points using TKIP or AES encryption (WPA-Personal). WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP or AES) uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is 8 or
more characters in length, up to a maximum of 63 characters.
