To set up a Brother printer, you typically need to download the appropriate software or drivers from Brother’s official site or use the included CD/DVD (if available), then follow the on-screen instructions to connect your printer, either via USB or wirelessly through your Wi-Fi network[1][4].
Key steps include:
– Downloading the software from Brother’s official support site or using the CD-ROM[1][4].
– Running the installer and choosing your connection type (e.g., wireless or USB)[1].
– If setting up a wireless connection, select “Setup without a USB cable” for Wi-Fi setup, then enter your Wi-Fi network’s SSID and password when prompted[1][5].
– Complete the installation by following on-screen prompts and confirming connection success[1][3][5].
For wireless setup without a keyboard on the printer, navigate through available Wi-Fi networks displayed on the printer’s screen, select your SSID, and enter your Wi-Fi password using the printer’s buttons[5]. Once connected, the printer will confirm successful Wi-Fi connection by stopping the blinking Wi-Fi indicator light[5].
Additionally, Brother offers a mobile app called Brother Mobile Connect that can assist in setting up and managing your printer from your smartphone[2].
If you prefer a guided video tutorial, there are official Brother videos and user-created walkthroughs available that demonstrate wireless setup step-by-step[3][5].
For the most reliable installation, always use the latest drivers and software matching your printer model and operating system found at setup.brother.com or solutions.brother.com[1][4].
