STEP 1

Setting Up the Machine

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 Appendixes 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.

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™ or AOSS™ follow the steps on page 28 Using the SecureEasySetup™ or AOSS™ software to configure your machine for a wireless network. If your wireless router/access point does not support SecureEasySetup™ or AOSS™ follow the steps on page 30 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.

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.

Important

Make sure that you have finished the instructions from STEP 1 Setting Up the Machine on pages 5 through 15.

1 Write down the wireless network settings of

your access point or wireless router. SSID (Service Set ID or Network name)

_________________________ WEP Key (if needed)

________________________ WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP or AES) (if needed)

_________________________

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.

Network

Wireless

64-bit Hexadecimal:

128-bit ASCII: Uses 13 text characters. e.g.

128-bit Hexadecimal:

WPA/WPA2-PSK is a Wi-Fi 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.

See the Network User’s Guide for more details.

“Hello” (this is case sensitive)

Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data. e.g. “71f2234aba”

“Wirelesscomms” (this is case sensitive)

Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data. e.g. “71f2234ab56cd709e5412aa3ba”
