A wireless network connection is supported only between the Brother machine and an access point for PC’s running Windows® XP Professional x64 Edition.
To use the Brother machine through a network, you need to configure the print server, and set up the computers you use.
For Wireless Users:
To achieve optimum results with normal every day document printing, place the Brother machine as close to the network 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.
