There are three methods to configure your wireless network printer; by using the Brother installer application 
on the CD-ROM (recommended), using the one-push wireless setting mode and using the PIN Method of 
Wi-Fi Protected Setup™. The setup process will be different depending on your network environment.

Note

If you configure the wireless network settings in Ad-hoc mode, use the Brother installer application on the 
CD-ROM we have provided with the printer.

We recommend that you use the Brother installer application on the CD-ROM we have provided with the 
printer. By using this application, you can easily connect your printer to your wireless network and install the 
network software and printer driver which you need to complete the configuration of your printer for a wireless 
network. You will be guided by the on-screen instructions until you are able to use your Brother wireless 
network printer. You must know your wireless network settings before you proceed with this installation.

Configuration temporarily using a network cable

If there is an Ethernet Hub or Router in the same network as the wireless access point (A) of your printer, you 
can temporarily connect the Hub or Router to the printer using an Ethernet cable (B), this is an easy way to 
configure the printer. You can then remotely configure the printer from a computer on the network.
