Overview

This document serves as a Quick Setup Guide for a range of Brother multifunction devices, including models like the HL-L2465DW, DCP-L2640DW, MFC-L2760DW, and others. These devices are designed to offer printing, scanning, and, for MFC models, faxing capabilities, catering to both home and small office environments. The guide outlines the initial steps required to get the machine operational, from unpacking to connecting it to a computer or mobile device.

Function Description

The Brother devices covered by this guide are primarily laser multifunction printers. They are capable of high-quality monochrome printing, suitable for documents, reports, and general office use. For models designated with "DCP" or "MFC," they also integrate scanning functionality, allowing users to digitize documents. The "MFC" (Multi-Function Center) models further extend their capabilities to include faxing, providing a comprehensive communication solution. The "DW" suffix in many model names indicates that these devices support duplex (two-sided) printing and wireless connectivity, enhancing efficiency and flexibility. The "XL" suffix, as seen in MFC-L2820DWXL, typically denotes an extended-yield toner cartridge included with the device, offering a lower cost per page and less frequent cartridge replacement.

Usage Features

The setup process emphasizes ease of use, guiding users through each step with clear instructions and illustrations.

  • Unpacking and Component Check: The initial stage involves carefully unpacking the machine and verifying that all essential components are present. This includes the toner cartridge and drum unit assembly, AC power cord, Quick Setup Guide, and Product Safety Guide. For specific models like the MFC-L2820DWXL, a replacement toner cartridge is also included, to be saved for later use. The guide advises retaining all packing materials and the box for potential future shipping.
  • Physical Setup:
    • Toner Cartridge and Drum Unit Installation: Users are instructed to remove internal packing materials, including an orange part, and then firmly install the toner cartridge and drum unit assembly into the machine. This step is crucial for print functionality.
    • Paper Loading: The guide provides instructions on how to load paper into the paper tray, including adjusting the paper guides to fit the paper size. It also indicates a maximum fill line to prevent overfilling.
    • Power Connection and Initial Power-On: Users connect the AC power cord to the machine and a power outlet, then turn the machine on. A note reminds users to locate and record the serial number on the back or side of the machine for product registration and warranty support before connecting the power cord.
  • Language Selection: Upon initial power-on, users are prompted to select their preferred language. The guide provides separate instructions for LCD models (navigating through menus using arrow keys and OK button) and touchscreen models (using on-screen menus).
  • Fax Setup (For MFC Models Only): For MFC models, the guide details how to connect the telephone line cord and configure fax settings. This includes setting the date and time, as well as the Station ID (fax number and name). Users who do not intend to use the fax feature can skip these steps.
  • Connectivity Options: The devices offer various ways to connect to a computer or mobile device:
    • USB Connection: Users can connect the machine directly to a computer using a USB 2.0 cable (Type A/B), with a recommended length of no more than 6 feet (2 meters).
    • Wired Network Connection: For models supporting wired networks, a straight-through Category 5 (or greater) twisted-pair cable is required to connect the machine to a network router or switch.
    • Wireless Network Connection: Many models feature built-in Wi-Fi, allowing for wireless printing and scanning from computers and mobile devices. The guide directs users to setup.brother.com to download and install the necessary Brother software, which guides them through the wireless setup process.
  • Software Installation: The primary method for connecting the device to a computer or mobile device is by visiting setup.brother.com. This website provides the appropriate software and drivers, along with on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
  • Network Security: An important notice highlights the default password for managing the machine's settings, located on the back of the machine and marked "Pwd." Users are strongly advised to change this default password immediately to protect the machine from unauthorized access.
  • Troubleshooting Connectivity: The guide includes a "Can't Connect?" section with troubleshooting steps for wireless, wired, and USB connections. These steps include restarting the wireless access point/router, restarting the machine and computer, and, if necessary, performing a manual wireless setup.
  • Manual Wireless Setup (Wireless Models): If the automatic wireless setup fails, the guide provides detailed instructions for manual configuration. Users need to find their SSID (Network Name) and Network Key (Password) from their wireless access point or router. The steps vary slightly for LCD and touchscreen models, guiding users through selecting the network and entering the password. The guide also provides a list of characters that can be used when entering the Network Key on LCD models.

Maintenance Features

While the guide primarily focuses on initial setup, it implicitly touches upon maintenance aspects through the inclusion of the toner cartridge and drum unit. The "XL" designation for some models suggests a focus on reducing the frequency of toner replacement, which is a common maintenance task. The guide's emphasis on retaining packing materials also hints at the possibility of needing to transport the machine for service or replacement, which could be considered a maintenance-related consideration. The Product Safety Guide, mentioned as a document to read first, would contain more detailed information on safe operation and potential maintenance warnings. The availability of manuals on the Brother support website (support.brother.com/manuals) further indicates a resource for ongoing maintenance and operational guidance beyond the initial setup.
