Before you begin

First you must configure the wireless network settings of your machine to communicate with your network access
point/router. After the machine is configured to communicate with your access point/router, computers on your
network will have access to the machine. To use the machine from these computers, you will need to install the
printer driver. The following steps will guide you through the configuration and installation process.
IMPORTANT
• If you are going to connect the machine to your network, we recommend that you contact your
system administrator prior to installation. You must know your wireless network settings before you
proceed with this installation.
• If you have previously configured the wireless settings of the machine, you must reset the print
server back to its factory default settings.
1. On your machine, press + or - to choose Network, and press OK.
2. Press + or - to choose Network Reset, and press OK.
3. Press + to choose Reset. When Reboot OK? appears, press + to choose Yes.
Note
• To achieve optimum results with normal everyday 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.
Due to these factors, wireless may not be the best method of connection for all types of documents and
applications. If you are printing large files, such as multi-page documents with mixed text and large graphics,
you may want to consider choosing wired Ethernet for a faster data transfer or USB for the fastest throughput
speed.
• Although the Brother HL-4570CDW(T) can be used in both a wired and wireless network, only one of the
connection methods can be used at a time.
