The file itself, BrMain480.exe, is a self-extracting rar archive.
FirmwareUpdater.exe it contains is a simple downloader (does not
include anything which looks like a firmware, judging by objdump
output).
Configuration xml res/BrUpdSys.xml seems to contain the actual download
link, namely:
<FileGet_URL>https://firmverup.brother.co.jp/kne_bh7_update_nt_ssl/ifax2.asmx/fileUpdate</FileGet_URL>

That url apparently needs some additional parameters (printer model?),
but I can see no hints on what they could be.
