Configuring your machine for a wireless network
(for Infrastructure mode and Ad-hoc mode) 3
IMPORTANT
• If you are going to connect your Brother machine to your network, we recommend that you contact your
system administrator prior to installation. You must know your wireless network settings before you
proceed with this installation.
• If you have previously configured the wireless settings of the machine, you must reset the network LAN
settings before you can configure the wireless settings again.
Press Menu, a or b to choose Network, press OK. Press a or b to choose Network Reset, press OK.
Press 1 to reset and then press 1 to accept the change. For Touchscreen models, press MENU, Network.
Press a or b to display Network Reset, and press Network Reset. Press Yes to reset and then press
Yes for 2 seconds to confirm. The machine will restart automatically.
Using WPS or AOSS™ from the control panel menu to configure your machine
for a wireless network 3
If your WLAN access point/router supports either Wi-Fi Protected Setup (PBC
1
) or AOSS™ (one-push
method), you can configure the machine easily without a computer. Your Brother machine has the
WPS/AOSS™ menu available from the control panel. See the Quick Setup Guide for more information.

Using the Setup Wizard from the control panel 3
You can configure your Brother machine by using the Setup Wizard function. This is located in the
Network menu on the machine’s control panel.
If you are configuring your machine for a smaller wireless network, such as your home environment:
• To configure your machine for an existing wireless network using the SSID and Network Key (if
required), see the Quick Setup Guide.
• If your WLAN access point/router is set to not broadcast the SSID name, see Configuring your machine
when the SSID is not broadcast on page 16.
If you are configuring your machine using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (PIN Method), see Using the PIN Method
of Wi-Fi Protected Setup on page 20.
