Introduction 1
Network features 1
Your Brother machine can be shared on a 10/100 MB wired or IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless Ethernet network
using the internal network print server. The print server supports various functions and methods of connection
depending on the operating system you are running on a network supporting TCP/IP. The following chart
shows what network features and connections are supported by each operating system.
Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection
method can be used at a time.

Overview 3
To connect your machine to your wireless network, we recommend you to follow the steps in the Quick Setup
Guide using or WPS or AOSS™ from the control panel menu. By using this method, you can easily connect
your machine to your wireless network.
Please read this chapter for more details on how to configure the wireless network settings. For information
on TCP/IP settings, see How to change your machine’s network settings (IP address, Subnet mask and
Gateway) on page 4.
• To achieve optimum results with normal every day document printing, place the Brother machine as close
to the WLAN 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 machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection
method can be used at a time.
• Before configuring wireless settings, you will need to know your SSID and Network Key.
