The wireless network connection can be used only when the optional Wireless Module is installed.

Before configuring your machine, we recommend writing down your wireless network settings. You will need this information before you continue with the configuration.

  1. Check and record the current wireless network settings of the computer to which you are connecting.

    • Your access point/router may support the use of multiple WEP keys, but your Brother machine supports the use of only the first WEP key.
    • If you need assistance during setup and want to contact Brother customer service, make sure you have your SSID (Network Name) and Network Key (Password) ready. We cannot assist you in locating this information.
    • If you do not know this information (SSID and Network Key), you cannot continue the wireless setup.
      How can I find this information?
      1. Check the documentation provided with your wireless access point/router.
      2. The initial SSID could be the manufacturer's name or the model name.
      3. If you do not know the security information, consult the router manufacturer, your system administrator, or your Internet provider.

  6. Do one of the following:

    • If you are using an authentication and encryption method that requires a Network Key, enter the Network Key you wrote down in the first step.

      When you have entered all the characters, press [OK].

    • If your authentication method is Open System and your encryption mode is None, go to the next step.
  7. The machine attempts to connect to the wireless device you have selected.
If your wireless device is connected successfully, the machine's LCD displays [Connected], and then press [OK]. Press image.
