To use the machine safely
Please keep these instructions for later reference and read them before attempting any maintenance.
Warning
Note
Before cleaning the inside of the machine, first unplug the
telephone line cord, and then the power cord from the
electrical socket.
DO NOT handle the plug with wet hands. Doing
this might cause an electrical shock.
DO NOT use flammable substances, any type of spray or
organic solvent/liquids containing alcohol/ammonia to clean
the inside or outside of the machine. Doing this may cause
a fire or electrical shock. Refer to Routine maintenance for
how to clean the machine in the User’s Guide.
Always make sure the plug is fully inserted.
After you have just used the machine, some internal parts of
the machine will be extremely hot. When you open the front
or back cover of the machine, DO NOT touch the shaded
parts shown in the illustration.
To prevent injuries, be careful not to put your hands on the
edge of the machine under the document cover or scanner
cover as shown in the illustration.
To prevent injuries, DO NOT put your fingers in the area
shown in the illustrations.
DO NOT use a vacuum cleaner to clean up scattered toner. Doing this might cause the toner dust to ignite inside
the vacuum cleaner, potentially starting a fire. Please carefully clean the toner dust with a dry, lint-free cloth and
dispose of it according to local regulations.
If moving your machine, use the handholds provided. First making sure to disconnect any cables.
Plastic bags are used in the packaging of your machine. To avoid danger of suffocation, keep these bags away
from babies and children.

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 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.
Although the MFC can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one of the connection methods can be
used at a time.
Important
The following instructions will offer the method for installing your Brother machine in a wireless
network environment. The process will be different depending on your network environment.
Confirm your network environment. If your wireless router/access point does not support
SecureEasySetup™, Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ or AOSS™ follow the steps on page 15 Using the Setup
Wizard from the control panel LAN menu for wireless network configuration. If your wireless
router/access point supports SecureEasySetup™, Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ or AOSS™ you can find
instructions in the Network User's Guide on the CD-ROM. To set up your machine in any other wireless
environment (Ad-hoc mode) 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 language screen appears, click your language. The CD-ROM main menu will appear.
3 Click the Documentation.
4 Click the HTML documents.
5 Click the NETWORK USER’S GUIDE.
Note
• If you are going to connect the printer to your network, we recommend that you contact your system
administrator prior to installation.
• If you are using personal firewall software (e.g. Windows®Firewall), disable it. Once you are sure that you can
print, restart your personal firewall software.
