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 Macintosh

®

. Insert the Brother 

CD-ROM labeled Macintosh

®

 into your CD-ROM 

drive.

2 Double-click the 

Documentation

 icon.

3 Double-click your language folder.
4 Double-click the Network User’s Guide 

BH3eWLAN_UsaEngNet.pdf.

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.

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”
