Go to:

Under Step 1, select ALL.
Under Step 2, select the language of your choice.
Click Search.
That should bring up some downloads, including the manual and wireless setup documentation.
Good Luck!

How do I connect it to a wireless network with a security key?

Hello,

I wasn't sure if you have a manual that will help you with the setup or if you are having issues with those manual instructions.

If you don't have the manual, here is a link to the manual that shows you how to setup the wireless:

http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/htmldoc/printer/cv_hl2140/eng/html/nug/index.html



You need to choose NETWORK'S USER"S GUIDE located just below the picture of the printer.

I hope this helps you.


Best of luck.

Brother HL-2170W laser printer goes into sleep mode quickly. How can I turn off the sleep mode.

I found this from Tony Benjamin
I have tested it on two different Brother Lasers and it worked.

To cancel DEEP SLEEP on Brother Printer
  1. Go to General Setup then OK
  2. Ecology then OK
  3. SLEEP TIME then OK
  4. While sleep time is display push Down Arrow and CANCEL at the same time!
  5. DEEP SLEEP on/off toggle by Arrow keys
  6. OK to SAVE Deep Sleep off.
It is a shame they don't have this in the web interface or manual they sent with the printer.

We just got two brother hl 2170w printers from a lab across campus, they were configured for a wireless connection and now we are trying to connect them to the network via a wired connection. the test page...

hi there, this should work for you:

When you disconnect an Ethernet cable from the printer, wireless network will be enabled.
On the other hand, when the Ethernet cable is connected to the printer, wired network is enabled.

If you press the Go button for approx. 13 seconds, the network setting page will be printed out. Then release the Go button, wired network will be switched to wireless network even if the Ethernet cable is still connected.

You can then verify your network settings and change between wired and wireless setups.

Brother 2170W "fails to associate"

Have you tried the SecureEasySetup method of connecting your HL-2170W to your wireless network?

Basically, it involves no wires:

1) Press the wireless setup button on the back of your printer (you may need to use a pen or pointed object)

2) Press the SecureEasySetup button on your router

3) Let the two sort it out - Green Go button on printer indicates success.

A complete guide for using the SecureEasySetup for your brother model:

Also download the manual and guides for your printer:
