Power cycle the printer (turn it off, unplug it, wait, and then plug it back in and turn it on). If that doesn't work, consult the printer's manual or Brother's website for a hard reset procedure, which may involve holding down certain buttons during startup. Firmware updates can sometimes fix these issues, so check for and install any available updates. Try connecting via USB instead of Wi-Fi to rule out network problems.
