To connect your machine to your wireless network, we recommend following one of the setup methods
outlined in the Quick Setup Guide.
The wireless setup method using the installer DVD-ROM and a USB cable is the easiest setup method.
For additional wireless configuration methods, read this chapter for more information about how to configure
the wireless network settings. For information on TCP/IP settings, see Change Your Machine’s Network
Settings on page 3.
NOTE
• To achieve optimum results with everyday document scanning, place the Brother machine as close to the
WLAN 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 scanning large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large
graphics, you may want to consider choosing USB for a faster throughput speed.
• Before configuring wireless settings, you will need to know your Network name: (SSID) and Network Key.
