Troubleshooting
Overview
This chapter explains how to resolve typical network problems you may encounter when using your Brother
printer. If, after reading this chapter, you are unable to resolve your problem, please visit the Brother Solutions
Center at: http://solutions.brother.com/.
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), router or hub is turned on and its link light is blinking.
All protective packaging has been removed from the machine.
The front and back covers are fully closed.
The roll is inserted properly in the roll compartment.
(For wired networks) A network cable is securely connected to the Brother printer and the router or hub.
I cannot complete the wireless network setup configuration.
Question
Are your security settings
(SSID/Network Key)
correct?
Are you using MAC address
filtering?
Is your WLAN access
point/router in stealth
mode? (not broadcasting
the SSID)
I have checked and tried all
of the above, but still cannot
complete the wireless
configuration. Is there
anything else I can do?
Is your Brother printer
properly connected to the
WLAN access point/router?
Interface Solution

• 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.
