Troubleshooting

Make sure that the following items are configured before reading this chapter.
First check the following:
The power cord is connected properly and the Brother printer is turned on.
The access point (for wireless configurations) is turned on and its link light is blinking.
All protective packaging has been removed from the printer.
The front and back covers are fully closed.
The roll is inserted properly in the Roll compartment.
I cannot complete the wireless network setup configuration.
Question Solution
Are your security settings
(SSID/Network Key) correct?  Reconfirm and choose the correct security settings.
• The manufacturer's name or model no. of the WLAN access point/router may
be used as the default security settings.
• See the instructions supplied with your WLAN access point/router for
information on how to find the security settings.
• Ask the manufacturer of your WLAN access point/router or ask your Internet
provider or network administrator.
Are you using MAC address
filtering? Confirm that the MAC address of the Brother printer is allowed in the filter. You can
find the MAC address from the Network Setting Tool. See the User’s Guide for more
details about the Network Setting Tool.
Is your WLAN access
point/router in stealth mode?
(not broadcasting the SSID)  You should type the correct SSID name or Network Key by hand.
 Check the SSID name or the Network Key in the instructions supplied with your
WLAN access point/router and reconfigure the wireless network setup.
I have checked and tried all of
the above, but still cannot
complete the wireless
configuration. Is there anything
else I can do? Use the Network Setting Tool.
Is your Brother printer properly
connected to the WLAN access
point/router? If the Wi-Fi indicator is lit, the network is properly connected. If the Wi-Fi indicator is
blinking, the network is not connected properly, and the wireless network setup must
be reconfigured.
