07

Brother MFC-L3780CDW keeps disconnecting

On this laser model, check Brother Mobile Connect, color toner and drum seating, ADF feeding, and Ethernet discovery first.

Before you go deeper

Three checks that solve more than they should.

  1. 01
    Power

    Is the printer awake, plugged directly into the wall, and free of a blinking alarm?

  2. 02
    Path

    Can the printer make a built-in test page or copy without involving your laptop?

  3. 03
    Network

    Are the printer and computer on the same primary home network, not guest Wi-Fi?
