How to check the IP address of your Brother machine



If your Brother machine was purchased Network Ready, then the IP address can be determined via the control panel of the Brother machine or by printing a Report Page which is called User Settings list or Network Configuration (Network Config) list. For more information on how to find the IP address on the control panel of the machine or print a Report Page, please refer to the User's Guide or Network User's Guide for your machine. The latest User's Guide or Network User's Guide is available in the Manuals section.

Once you checked both your PC and the Brother machines IP address, we recommend you check they are both correct and located in the same segmentation.


Please check the following points are applicable for both IP address.
