Before you begin

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

Infrastructure Mode

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 print

server back to its factory default settings.
1. Turn off the machine.
2. Make sure that the front cover is closed and the power cord is plugged in.
3. Hold down Go as you turn on the power switch. Keep Go pressed down until all the LEDs light up

and then Ready LED turns off.

4. Release Go. Make sure that all the LEDs turn off.
5. Press Go six times. Make sure that all the LEDs light up to indicate the print server has been reset

to its factory default settings. The machine will restart.

Note

• 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 the Brother HL-2270DW and HL-2275DW can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only

one of the connection methods can be used at a time.

• The screens are based on HL-2270DW / HL-2275DW.
