Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the printer, ensure the device is placed on a flat, stable surface with adequate ventilation. Connect the unit to your local network using either the Wi-Fi setup wizard or an Ethernet cable. Download the latest drivers and the Brother Mobile Connect app to your computer or mobile device to enable full functionality. For ongoing care, it is recommended to keep the printer powered on or in sleep mode so it can perform periodic maintenance cycles. If the printer will be inactive for an extended period, ensure the ink cartridges are installed correctly and perform a test print upon returning to service. Always use genuine Brother ink supplies to ensure print head longevity and prevent streaking or fading.
