Brother MFC-J6520DW Remote Setup Port (COM3) Driver

The Brother MFC-J6520DW Remote Setup Port (COM3) driver helps Windows recognize the USB-connected configuration interface used by Brother’s Remote Setup software. It is intended for users who need to configure their MFC-J6520DW from a computer or resolve a missing or unrecognized Remote Setup port in Device Manager.

Key Features

• Remote Setup connectivity: Supports communication between the printer’s configuration interface and compatible Brother Remote Setup software.
• USB interface recognition: Helps Windows identify the Remote Setup port associated with the connected Brother MFC-J6520DW.
• Windows compatibility: Intended for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP when installed using the appropriate Brother package for your system and architecture.
• Configuration troubleshooting: Reinstalling the correct driver may help resolve recognition problems caused by missing or damaged driver components. This interface is separate from the printer’s main printing and scanning functions.

How to Install Brother MFC-J6520DW Remote Setup Port (COM3) Driver

1. Check your Windows edition. Confirm your operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. If comparing Windows 10/11 options, note that Windows 11 is not included in the supported OS list provided here; verify compatibility with Brother before proceeding.
2. Choose the correct package. For a Brother MFC-J6520DW Remote Setup Port (COM3) driver download for Windows, select a model-specific package that includes the required Remote Setup components. Use an official Brother source for a free download, and choose the latest version compatible with your operating system.
3. Prepare the USB connection. Close Brother utilities and follow the installer’s instructions about when to connect the printer. If instructed, leave the USB cable disconnected until prompted.
4. Install the software. Run the downloaded installer, approve any Windows permission prompts, and follow the setup instructions. Connect and power on the printer when requested, then restart Windows if prompted.
5. Verify recognition. Open Device Manager and check that the Remote Setup interface appears without a warning symbol. Windows may assign a COM number other than COM3, so a different number alone does not necessarily indicate a problem. Test the connection using compatible Brother Remote Setup software.

Keep the driver updated by checking for compatible Brother releases when troubleshooting connection issues or changing your Windows installation. Before an update, confirm that the package supports both your printer and operating system; a newer release is not automatically suitable for older Windows versions.
