• Keep a minimum gap around the machine as shown in the illustration.

• The components included in the box may differ depending on your country.

• We recommend that you save the original packaging.

• If for any reason you must ship your machine, carefully repack the machine in the original packaging to avoid

any damage during transit. The machine should be adequately insured with the carrier. For how to repack

the machine, see Packing and shipping the machine in the Advanced User's Guide.

For Wireless Network Interface Users

Before you begin

First you must configure the wireless network settings of your machine to communicate with your wireless access

point/router. After the machine is configured to communicate with your wireless access point/router, computers

and mobile devices on your network will have access to the machine. To use the machine from a computer, you

will need to install the drivers and software. 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 network (LAN)

settings before you can configure the wireless settings again.

1. On your machine, press Menu. Press 7.

2. Press 0 to choose Network Reset.

3. Press 1 twice for Yes to accept the change.

Note

• To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document printing, place the Brother machine as close to

the wireless 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 MFC-8710DW, MFC-8810DW and MFC-8910DW can be used in both a wired and

wireless network, only one of the connection methods can be used at a time.

• If you use your machine in an IEEE 802.1x supported wireless network, see Using IEEE 802.1x

authentication in the Network User's Guide.
