Wireless installation in ad-hoc mode 
(HL-5280DW only)

The following instructions will install your Brother printer in a wireless network environment in ad-hoc mode 
using the Brother automatic installer application in the CD-ROM we have provided with the printer. If you want 
to setup your printer in infrastructure mode, using a wireless router or access point that uses DHCP to assign 
IP addresses, you can find instructions in the supplied Quick Setup Guide.

You can also setup your printer using SecureEasySetup

TM

 and the printer control panel.

See 

Using SecureEasySetup

TM

 to configure your printer in a wireless network

 on page 3-4.

See

If you are going to connect the printer to your network, we recommend that you contact your system 
administrator prior to installation.

Before installation, if you are using Personal Firewall software (e.g. the Internet Connection Firewall 
available in Windows

 XP), disable it. Once you are sure that you can print, restart your Personal Firewall 

software.
