Before attempting to configure a wireless network, confirm the following:
•
Before configuring wireless settings, you must know your Network Name (SSID) and Network Key
(Password).
If you do not know this security information, contact the router manufacturer, your system administrator, or
your Internet provider.
•
To achieve optimum results with normal everyday document scanning, 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 and 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 scanning large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large
graphics, you may want to consider selecting wired Ethernet for faster data transfer, or USB for the fastest
throughput speed.
•
Although the Brother machine can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one connection
method can be used at a time.
•
If there is a signal in the vicinity, wireless LAN allows you to freely make a LAN connection. However, if
security settings are not correctly configured, the signal may be intercepted by malicious third-parties,
possibly resulting in:
-
Theft of personal or confidential information
-
Improper transmission of information to parties impersonating the specified individuals
-
Dissemination of transcribed communication contents that were intercepted
