    What to do if the wireless access point/router cannot be detected by my Brother All in One Printer?
    • D
      David DennisAug 26, 2025
      If your Brother All in One Printer cannot detect the wireless access point/router, try the following: - Ensure the wireless access point/router is powered on. - Move the printer to an area free of obstructions, or closer to the wireless access point/router. - Temporarily place the printer within about one metre of the wireless access point while configuring wireless settings. - If your wireless access point/router uses MAC address filtering, ensure the MAC address of the Brother printer is allowed. Also, if you manually entered the SSID and security information, double-check that the SSID, authentication method, encryption method, and Network Key are correct and re-enter them if needed.

    Why can't I scan a long document on my Brother All in One Printer?
    • J
      Jeremy PierceSep 13, 2025
      If you cannot scan a long document on your Brother All in One Printer, it may be because 'Long Paper' is not selected for the document size. Select 'Long Paper' for the document size. If you cannot select 'Long Paper', set both Auto Deskew and 2-sided Scanning to off. Also, when scanning from the machine’s Control Panel, set Skip Blank Page to off and Scan Type to an option other than Auto. Then, you can select 'Long Paper'.
