The Brother DCP-J1050DW may have stopped scanning due to a connection issue. Possible reasons include:
1. Network Issues – If using a wireless connection, restart the wireless access point/router and the machine. 2. USB Connection Issues – If using a USB connection, try disconnecting and reconnecting the cable. 3. Firmware Issues – Check for the latest firmware updates at support.brother.com/up7. 4. Unauthorized Access Lock – If the machine’s default password has not been changed, update it to ensure proper access.
If the issue persists, visit Brother’s support website for FAQs and troubleshooting.

Home > Security > Use SSL/TLS > Introduction to SSL/TLS Introduction to SSL/TLS Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an effective method of protecting data sent over a local or wide area network (LAN or WAN). It works by encrypting data, such as a print job, sent over a network, so anyone trying to capture it will not be able to read it.
Page 277
Home > Security > Use SSL/TLS > Introduction to SSL/TLS > Brief History of SSL/TLS Brief History of SSL/TLS SSL/TLS was originally created to secure web traffic information, particularly data sent between web browsers and servers. For example, when you use Internet Explorer for Internet Banking and you see https:// and the little padlock icon in the web browser, you are using SSL.
Page 278
Home > Security > Use SSL/TLS > Introduction to SSL/TLS > Benefits of Using SSL/TLS Benefits of Using SSL/TLS The primary benefit of using SSL/TLS is to guarantee secure printing over an IP network by restricting unauthorised users from reading data sent to the machine. SSL's key selling point is that it can be used to print confidential data securely.
