Brother Printer Support Center

If your Brother printer won't connect to Wi-Fi:

• Ensure your Wi-Fi router is working and within range of the printer
• Verify you're using the correct Wi-Fi password
• Try using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) if your router supports it
• Temporarily disable any firewall or security software that might be blocking the connection
• Check if your router uses 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands, as some older printers only support 2.4GHz

To resolve offline status issues:

• Ensure the printer has a static IP address assigned on your network
• Update to the latest printer drivers and firmware
• Check if power saving settings are causing the printer to enter sleep mode
• Verify that no other network devices have IP conflicts with your printer
• Try connecting the printer directly to your computer with a USB cable to see if the issue persists

This message indicates your toner cartridge is running low or empty. You can:

Note: Print quality may deteriorate if you continue printing with low toner.
