How can I connect the printer to my mobile device via Wi-Fi® ?

Before you proceed, make sure your computer is equipped with a Wi-Fi interface that is connected to a wireless network. If it is not, the computer will not be able to connect to your printer wirelessly.

Connect the printer to the wireless router/access point using BPM (Brother Printer Management Tool) on your computer, and then mobile device in the same network can connect to the printer via Wi-Fi.

 

The following image shows the order of connection.
