Before remote assistance begins
Confirm what work is proposed, the price, and whether a remote session is appropriate. Keep your files backed up and remain present during any session you authorize.

Practical guidance
Check the Brother printer and computer separately
A printer can be ready on its own display while a computer still reports it as offline. Compare the printer’s connection status, a test page, and the queue on the affected computer. Use the exact model when looking up official Brother setup or driver information.
- Record the model and whether the connection is USB, Wi-Fi, or Ethernet.
- Compare a printer test page with a document sent from the computer.
- Check whether another device on the same network can print.
- Use official Brother support for model instructions, downloads, and warranty questions.
Useful checks before you contact us
Confirm the connection
Check whether another device has the same problem. A printer self-test can help distinguish computer settings from a printer issue.
Record the error
Write down the exact offline, print, scan, or display message before changing settings.
Brother network and scan settings
