Important

Make sure that you have finished the 
instructions from Step 1 

Setting Up the 

Machine

 on page 4 - 11.

These instructions will install your Brother machine in a 
typical small office or home wireless network environment 
in infrastructure mode, using a wireless router or access 
point that uses DHCP to assign IP addresses.
If you want to setup your machine in any other 
wireless environment you can find instructions in the 
Network User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.
You can view the Network User’s Guide by following 
the instructions below.
1 Turn on your PC. Insert the Brother CD-ROM 

labeled Windows

®

 into your CD-ROM drive.

2 If the model name screen appears, click your 

model name.

3 If the language screen appears, click your 

language. The CD-ROM main menu will appear.

Note

If the window does not appear, use Windows

®

 

Explorer to run the setup.exe program from the 
root directory of the Brother CD-ROM.

 

To achieve optimum results with normal every day 
document printing, place the Brother machine as 
close to the network 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 
photos on glossy paper or 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.

First you must configure the wireless network settings of 
your machine to communicate with your network access 
point (router). After the machine is configured to 
communicate with your access point computers on your 
network will have access to the machine. To use the 
machine from these computers, you will need to install the 
MFL-Pro Software Suite. The following steps will guide 
you through the configuration and installation process.

 

1

Write down the wireless network settings of 
your access point or wireless router.

SSID

 (Service Set ID or Network name)

_________________________

WEP Key

 (if needed)

_________________________

WPA-PSK (TKIP)

  (if needed)

_________________________

The WEP key is for 64bit encrypted networks 
or 128 bit encrypted networks and can contain 
both numbers and letters. If you do not know 
this information you should see the 
documentation provided with your access point 
or wireless router. This key is a 64-bit or 128-bit 
value that must be entered in an ASCII or 
HEXADECIMAL format.

For example:

WPA-PSK enables a Protected Access Pre-
shared key that allows the Brother wireless 
machine to associate with access points using 
TKIP encryption. WPA-PSK uses a Pre-Shared 
Key that is more than 7 and less than 64 
characters in length.

Note

• Your machine supports WEP and WPA-

PSK(TKIP). WPA-PSK(AES) is not supported.

• Most access points and routers can store more 

than one key, but they will only use one at any time 
for authentication and encryption.

 

See Chapter 3 of the Network User’s Guide for 
more details

.

64 bit ASCII:

Uses 5 text characters.e.g. “Hello” 
(this is case sensitive)

64 bit 
Hexadecimal:

Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal 
data.e.g. “71f2234aba”

128 bit ASCII: Uses 13 text characters.e.g. 

“Wirelesscomms” (this is case 
sensitive)

128 bit 
Hexadecimal:

Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data.e.g. 
“71f2234ab56cd709e5412aa3ba”
