What to do if my Brother MFC-J880DW says 'A device is already connected'?
- F
  Felicia JohnsonAug 18, 2025
  If your Brother Printer displays the message 'A device is already connected. Press OK' while using Wi-Fi Direct, it means that two mobile devices are already connected when the Brother machine is the Group Owner. To resolve this, wait for the current connection between your Brother machine and the other mobile device to shut down, and then try configuring the Wi-Fi Direct settings again. You can check the connection status by printing the Network Configuration Report.

  If you are getting a 'Connection Error 02' on your Brother All in One Printer, it means the printer isn't connected to the network. Ensure the network connection is stable. If you tried using Web or Apps right after turning on the printer, the network might not be ready yet. Give it some time and try again.

  Thomas MerrittAug 22, 2025
  A 'Connection Error 03' on your Brother All in One Printer indicates incorrect network or server settings, or a problem with the network or server itself. Verify that your network settings are correct. Alternatively, wait a bit and try again later. If you attempted to use the Web or Apps feature immediately after powering on the printer, the network connection might not have been fully established yet; in that case, wait and try again.
