Safety Precautions

To Use the Printer Safely

Warning

There are high voltage electrodes inside the printer. Before you clean the inside of the printer, make sure that

you have turned off the power switch and unplugged the printer from the AC power outlet.

DO NOT handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.

After you have just used the printer, some internal parts of the printer will be extremely hot. DO NOT touch the

shaded parts shown in the illustration when you open the front or back cover of the printer.

Inside the printer (Front View)

Open the back cover (Back View)

DO NOT remove or damage the caution labels located on or around the fuser.

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.

DO NOT use flammable substances near the printer. Doing this might cause a fire or electrical shock.

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. However, there

is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception,

which can be determined by turning the equipment off

and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the following

measures:

„ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

„ Increase the separation between the equipment

and receiver.

„ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit

different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

„ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

Important

A shielded interface cable should be used in order to

ensure compliance with the limits for a Class B digital

device.

STEP 2

Windows

For wireless network users

(Windows^®98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT^®4.0 only)

Connect your wireless printer and wireless network together: install the

printer driver in infrastructure mode

First you must configure the wireless network settings of your printer to communicate with your network access

point (router). After the printer is configured to communicate with your access point (router) computers on your

network will have access to the printer. To use the printer from these computers, you will need to install the printer

driver. 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 printer 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 install your Brother printer in a 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 printer in any other wireless environment you can find instructions in the

Network User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.

Note

• 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.

Infrastructure Mode

Installing the Printer Driver

Windows

Confirm your network environment

The setup process will be different depending on your network environment.

„ Installation using SecureEasySetup™.

If your wireless access point (A) supports SecureEasySetup™, you do not need to use a computer to

configure the printer. The access point (router) and your printer can automatically negotiate using the

SecureEasySetup™ procedure.

For instructions, see Chapter 3 in the Network User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.

„ Installation temporarily using a network cable.

If there is an Ethernet Hub or Router in the same network as the wireless access point of your printer, you

can temporarily connect the Hub or Router to the printer using an Ethernet cable (B), this is an easy way to

configure the printer. You can then remotely configure the printer from a computer on the network.

For instructions, go to page 22.

„ Installation using a wireless computer.

If a computer of yours has wireless capability, you will need to change the wireless settings of the computer

to Ad-hoc mode so you can directly connect and configure the printer.

For instructions, go to page 26.

„ Installation using the control panel.

You can also configure the wireless settings of your printer, by using the control panel.

For instructions, see Chapter 3 in the Network User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.
