IMPORTANT

• DO NOT shake the ink cartridges. If ink stains your skin or clothing, wash with soap or detergent at once.

• DO NOT touch the cartridge in the area

indicated b, as this can cause the machine not to function with the cartridge.

IMPORTANT

• DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do not need to replace them. If you do so, it may reduce the ink quantity and the machine will not know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge.

• DO NOT repeatedly insert and remove the cartridges. If you do so, ink may seep out of the cartridge.

• If you mix the colors by installing an ink cartridge in the wrong position, clean the print head several times after correcting the

cartridge installation. (See Cleaning the print head in Appendix A of the Basic User’s Guide.)

• Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the machine and use it up within six months of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by the expiration date written on the cartridge package.

• DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink cartridge, this can cause the ink to leak out of the cartridge.

• Brother strongly recommends that you do not refill the ink cartridges provided with your machine. We also strongly recommend that you continue to use only Genuine Brother

Brand replacement ink cartridges. Use or attempted use of potentially incompatible ink and/or cartridges in the Brother machine may cause damage to the machine and/or may result in unsatisfactory print quality. Our warranty coverage does not apply to any problem that is caused by the use of unauthorized third party ink and/or cartridges.

To protect your investment and obtain premium performance from the Brother machine, we strongly recommend the use of Genuine

Brother Supplies.

Choose the correct Receive Mode

The correct Receive Mode is determined by the external devices and telephone subscriber services (Voice Mail,

Distinctive Ring, etc.) you have (or will be using) on the same line as the Brother machine.

For details, see Using Receive Modes in chapter 5 of the Basic User’s Guide.

Will you be using a Distinctive Ring number for receiving faxes?

Brother uses the term “Distinctive Ring” but telephone companies may have other names for this service such as Custom Ringing, RingMaster, Personalized Ring, Teen Ring, Ident-A-Call, and Smart Ring. See Distinctive

Ring in chapter 6 of the Basic User’s Guide for instruction on setting up your machine using this feature.

Will you be using Voicemail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine?

If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine, there is a strong possibility that

Voice Mail and the Brother machine will conflict with each other when receiving incoming calls. See Voice Mail in chapter 6 of the Basic User’s Guide for instructions on setting up your machine using this service.

Will you be using a Telephone Answering Device on the same telephone line as your Brother machine?

Your external telephone answering device (TAD) will automatically answer every call. Voice messages are stored on the external TAD and fax messages are printed. Choose External TAD as your receive mode. See the instructions below. For additional details, see Connecting an external TAD (telephone answering device) in

chapter 6 of the Basic User’s Guide.

Will you be using your Brother machine on a dedicated fax line?

Your machine automatically answers every call as a fax. Choose Fax Only as your receive mode. See the instructions below.

Will you be using your Brother machine on the same line as your telephone?

Do you want to receive voice calls and faxes automatically?

The Fax/Tel receive mode is used when sharing the Brother machine and your telephone on the same line. Choose Fax/Tel as your receive mode. See the instructions below. For additional information see

Fax/Tel in chapter 5 of the Basic User’s Guide for instructions on setting up and using this receive mode.

Important Note: You cannot receive voice messages on either Voice Mail or an answering machine when choosing the Fax/Tel mode.

Do you expect to receive very few faxes?

Choose Manual as your receive mode. You control the phone line and must answer every call yourself.

Before you begin

First you must configure the wireless network settings of your machine to communicate with your 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 drivers and software. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and installation process.

To achieve optimum results with normal everyday 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 your Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one of the connection methods can be used at a time.

NOTE

If you have previously configured the wireless settings of the machine you must reset the network settings before you can configure the wireless settings again.

On your machine, press . Press All Settings.

Press Network.

Swipe up or down, or press a or b to display Network Reset, and then press Network Reset.

Press Yes to accept. Hold down Yes for 2 seconds to confirm.

The following instructions are for infrastructure mode (connected to a computer through an access point/router).
