What you need
Steps
Turn on the printer and make sure it is in range of your Wi-Fi router. Keep the phone close to the printer during setup.
Install Brother Mobile Connect from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Open the app and accept the terms.
Tap Add Machine or the plus button on the app home screen. Choose your printer model, the DCP-T430W, from the list.
When the app asks how the printer is connected, pick the wireless or Wi-Fi setup option.
Select your home Wi-Fi network from the list the app shows. Type the Wi-Fi password carefully, matching upper and lower case.
Follow the on-screen prompt to send the network details to the printer. If asked, press the Wi-Fi or setup button on the printer to confirm.
Wait while the printer joins the network. The app shows a confirmation when the connection succeeds.
Print a test page from the app to check the setup. Open a document or photo, tap Print and choose the DCP-T430W.
Tips and common mistakes
The printer only works on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi on most home setups, so pick that network if your router shows two names.
Type the Wi-Fi password by hand rather than pasting it, since a hidden space can stop the connection.
If setup fails, restart the router, the printer and the phone, then run the app setup again.
Keep the printer and router on the same network, or the phone will not find the printer later.
Questions
Do I need a cable for this setup?
No. Brother Mobile Connect sends the Wi-Fi details to the printer wirelessly, so no USB cable is needed.
Can I use this on an iPhone as well as Android?
Yes. The app is free on both the App Store and Google Play, and the steps are the same.
What if the app cannot find my printer?
Check that the printer is on and close to the phone, then close and reopen the app. Make sure the phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you want the printer to use.
