Carton components

Carton components may vary from one country to another.

USB cable

 Please make sure you use a USB 2.0 cable that is no longer than 6 feet (2 meters) long.

 Your machine has a USB interface that is compatible with the USB 2.0 specification. This interface is also

compatible with Hi-Speed USB 2.0; however, the maximum data transfer rate will be 12 Mbits/s. The machine

can also be connected to a computer that has a USB 1.1 interface.

 DO NOT connect the interface cable at this time.

Connecting the interface cable is done during the software installation process.

When you use a USB cable, make sure you connect it to the USB port of your computer and not to a USB port

on a keyboard or a non-powered USB hub.

Network cable

 Use a straight-through Category5 (or greater) twisted-pair cable for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet

Network.

Setting Up the Machine

STEP 1

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 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 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 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.

For Wireless Network Interface Users (For Windows

in infrastructure mode

Connecting your wireless machine and wireless network together and

installing 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.

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 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.

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

1 Turn on your computer. 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. The CD-ROM main menu will appear.

Note

Routers or access points that support

SecureEasySetup™ have the

SecureEasySetup™ symbol as shown below.

Note

Routers or access points that support AOSS™

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:

WPA/WPA2-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
