Note
Do not throw away the green protective part.
You will need it if you transport the machine.

Unpack the ink cartridge.

Gently push the ink cartridge until it clicks. After
all the ink cartridges are installed close the ink
cartridge cover.

Important
• DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do not
need to replace them. If you do so, it may
reduce the ink quantity and the machine will
not know the quantity of ink left in the
cartridge.
• DO NOT shake the ink cartridges. If ink
stains your skin or clothing, wash with soap
or detergent at once.

Note
The machine will prepare the ink tube system for
printing. This process will take approximately four
minutes. Do not turn off the machine.

• DO NOT repeatedly insert and remove the
cartridges. If you do so, ink may seep out of
the cartridge.
• If you mix the colors by installing an ink
cartridge in the wrong position, clean the
print head several times after correcting the
cartridge installation. (See Cleaning the
print head in Appendix B of the User’s
Guide.)
• Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in
the machine and use it up within six months
of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges
by the expiration date written on the
cartridge package.
• DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink
cartridge, this can cause the ink to leak out
of the cartridge.
• Brother strongly recommends that you do
not refill the ink cartridges provided with
your machine. We also strongly recommend
that you continue to use only Genuine
Brother Brand replacement ink cartridges.
Using or attempting to use potentially
incompatible inks and/or cartridges in your
machine may cause damage to the machine
itself and/or it may result in unsatisfactory
print quality. Our warranty coverage does
not apply to any problem that was caused by
the use of unauthorized third party ink
and/or cartridges. To protect your
investment and guarantee your print quality
please continue to replace consumed ink
cartridges with only Genuine Brother
Branded Supplies.

Choose the correct Receive Mode

The correct Receive Mode is determined by the external devices and telephone subscriber services (Voice Mail,
Distinctive Ring, etc.) you have (or will be using) on the same line as the Brother machine.
Will you be using a Distinctive Ring number for receiving faxes?
Brother uses the term "Distinctive Ring" but telephone companies may have other names for this service such
as Custom Ringing, RingMaster, Personalized Ring, Teen Ring, Ident-A-Call, and Smart Ring. See Distinctive
Ring in Chapter 7 of the User's Guide for instruction on setting up your machine using this feature.
Will you be using Voicemail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine?
If you have Voice Mail on the same telephone line as your Brother machine, there is a strong possibility that
Voice Mail and the Brother machine will conflict with each other when receiving incoming calls. See Voice Mail
in Chapter 7 of the User's Guide for instructions on setting up your machine using this service.
Will you be using a Telephone Answering Device on the same telephone line as your Brother machine?
Your external telephone answering device (TAD) will automatically answer every call. Voice messages are stored on
the external TAD and fax messages are printed. Choose External TAD as your receive mode. See the instructions
below.
Will you be using your Brother machine on a dedicated fax line?
Your machine automatically answers every call as a fax. Choose Fax Only as your receive mode. See the
instructions below.
Will you be using your Brother machine on the same line as your telephone?
Do you want to receive voice calls and faxes automatically?
The Fax/Tel receive mode is used when sharing the Brother machine and your telephone on the same
line. Choose Fax/Tel as your receive mode. See the instructions below.
Important Note: You cannot receive voice messages on either Voice Mail or an answering machine
when choosing the Fax/Tel mode.
Do you expect to receive very few faxes?
Choose Manual as your receive mode. You control the phone line and must answer every call yourself.
See the instructions below.

(USA only)
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991
makes it unlawful for any person to use a
computer or electronic device to send any
message via a telephone fax machine unless
such messages clearly contain, in a margin at the
top or bottom of each transmitted page, or on the
first page of the transmission, the date and time it
is sent and an identification of the business or
other entity or other individual sending the
message and the telephone number of the
sending machines or such business, other entity
or individual.

Fax Transmission Report

Your Brother machine is equipped with a
Transmission Verification Report that can be used as
confirmation that you sent a fax. This report lists the
name or fax number of the receiving party, the date,
time, and duration of the transmission, the number of
pages transmitted, and whether or not the
transmission was successful. If you want to use the
Fax Transmission Report feature, see Printing
Reports in Chapter 9 of the User’s Guide.

For Wireless Network Users
For Wireless Network Interface Users

Before you begin

First you must configure the wireless network settings of your machine to communicate with your network
router/access point. After the machine is configured to communicate with your router/access point, computers on
your network will have access to the machine. To use the machine from these computers, you will need to install
the drivers and software. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and installation process.
To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the
network router/access point 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 MFC-6890CDW can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one of the
connection methods can be used at a time.
Important
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.
On your machine, press MENU. Press a or b to display Network and press Network.
Press a or b to display Factory Reset, and then press Factory Reset.
Press Yes to accept. Hold down Yes for 2 seconds to confirm.

Note
The following instructions are for infrastructure mode.
To set up your machine in any other wireless environment you can find instructions in the Network User's
Guide on the CD-ROM.
You can view the Network User’s Guide by following the instructions below.

For Wireless Network Users

Confirm your network environment (Infrastructure Mode)

The following instructions will offer two methods for installing your Brother machine in a wireless network
environment. Both methods are for infrastructure mode, using a wireless router/access point that uses DHCP to
assign IP addresses. Choose a configuration method and proceed to the page indicated.

If your wireless router/access point does not support SecureEasySetup™, Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ or
AOSS™, write down the wireless network settings of your access point/router in the area below.
Important

If you do not know this information (Network Name (SSID, ESSID), WEP key or WPA
passphrase), you cannot continue the wireless setup. You should see the documentation
provided with your access point or wireless router, consult the router manufacturer, or your
system administrator.

Record the current wireless network settings

WPA/WPA2-PSK is a Wi-Fi Protected Access™ Pre-Shared Key, which lets the Brother wireless machine associate with access
points using TKIP or AES encryption (WPA-Personal). WPA/WPA2-PSK (TKIP or AES) uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) that is 8
or more characters in length, up to a maximum of 63 characters.

The WEP key is for 64-bit encrypted networks or 128-bit encrypted networks and can contain both numbers and letters. If you
do not know this information you should see the documentation provided with your access point or wireless router. This key is
a 64-bit or 128-bit value that must be entered in an ASCII or HEXADECIMAL format.

For example:
64-bit ASCII:

Uses 5 text characters e.g. “Hello” (this is case sensitive)

64-bit Hexadecimal:

Uses 10 digits of hexadecimal data e.g. “71f2234aba”

128-bit ASCII:

Uses 13 text characters e.g.
“Wirelesscomms” (this is case sensitive)

128-bit Hexadecimal:

Uses 26 digits of hexadecimal data e.g.
“71f2234ab56cd709e5412aa3ba”
