A wireless network connection is supported only between the Brother machine and an access point for PC's running Windows
x64 Edition.
To use the Brother machine through a network, you need to configure the print server, and set up the
computers you use.
For Wireless Users:
To achieve optimum results with normal every day 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 photos on glossy paper 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.
