For Wireless Network Users For Wireless Network Interface Users 9 Before you begin First you must configure the wireless network settings of your machine to communicate with your wireless access point/router. After the machine is configured to communicate with your wireless access point/router, computers and mobile devices on your network will have access to the machine. To use the machine from a computer, you will need to install the printer driver. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and installation process. Important • If you are going to connect the 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. 1. On your machine, press a or b to choose Network, and press OK. 2. Press a or b to choose Network Reset, and press OK. 3. When Reboot OK? appears, press a to choose Yes for reboot. Note • To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the wireless 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 Brother HL-5470DW(T) and HL-6180DW(T) can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one of the connection methods can be used at a time. • If you use your machine in an IEEE 802.1x supported wireless network, see Using IEEE 802.1x authentication in the Network User's Guide.
