For Wireless Network Interface Users 
(For Windows

®

 2000 Professional/XP/XP Professional x64 

Edition/Windows Vista™) in infrastructure mode

Connecting your wireless machine and wireless network together and 

installing the printer driver in infrastructure mode

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 (router) 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 Suite. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and installation process.

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 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.

Important

The following instructions will offer two methods for installing your Brother machine in a wireless 
network environment. Both methods are for infrastructure mode, using a wireless router or access 
point that uses DHCP to assign IP addresses. If your wireless router/access point supports 
SecureEasySetup™ or AOSS™ follow the steps on page 30 

Using the SecureEasySetup™ or AOSS™ 

software to configure your machine for a wireless network

. If your wireless router/access point does 

not support SecureEasySetup™ or AOSS™ follow the steps on page 32 

Using the Setup Wizard from 

the control panel LAN menu for wireless network configuration

. To set up 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 computer. Insert the Brother CD-ROM 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.
