There are two important printer characteristics one which a user focuses upon. One is the quality of the printouts and the print speed or printer performance. Offering both these essential features, Brother’s line of laser printers comes up with their HL2270DW printer that qualifies an amazing performance at an affordable price.
The features of this printer at a relatively lower price are not found with most other laser printers of this class. The Brother HL2270DW marks a level up of convenience even more by providing a wireless function in addition to the other laser printer benefits. Some users might not support and up vote the prospects of a wireless printer, especially when they have faced difficulty in setting up a wireless router.
To use Wifi Protected Set Up or WPS, one should confirm the whether the WLAN has a WPS access.
To configure wireless settings, one should place the Brother machine within range of the WPS or the AOSS access point/ router. The range however, might change, depending on the environment.
Next, one has to make sure that the wireless cord is plugged in, and then the machine should be switched on till it is Ready.
Next, one should hold down the WPS or AOSS button on your WLAN access pointer or router for a few seconds. The time of holding down the button would depend on the WLAN access point.
The wireless setup button then has to be located at the back of the machine and pressed down for less than 2 seconds. A pointy object, like a ball point pen should be used to press the button.
Note: It is important to remember that the button should not be pressed down for more than 3 seconds, or it will change to the PIN method of the Wifi Protected Setup Mode.
If all goes well, the machine will search for an WLAN access point/ router that will support the Wifi Protected Set Up. All this while, the Toner LED and the Drum LED would keep blinking.
One has to wait till the Ready LED of the machine comes on and indicated that the machine is connected. The Ready LED will turn on for 5 minutes indicating that the machine has been successfully connected to Wifi.
It is important to note that if the Ready LED is not flashing, then the printer has not connected to the WLAN router. One should look for any errors codes flashed by the machine.
