To use the machine as a network scanner, the machine must be configured with a TCP/IP address. You can 
set or change the address settings from the control panel (See 

Control Panel Setup in

 the 

Network User’s 

Guide

) or by using the BRAdmin Professional software. If you installed the machine following the instructions 

for a network user in the Quick Setup Guide then the machine should already be configured for your network.

Note

• For network scanning, a maximum of 25 clients can be connected to one machine on a network. For 

example, if 30 clients try to connect at a time, 5 of those clients will not be shown on the LCD.

• If your PC is protected by a firewall and is unable to network scan, you may need to configure the firewall 

settings to allow communication through port number 54925 and 137. See 

Before using the Brother 

software

 on page 110.
