Brother MFC-J720D Remote Setup Port (COM11) Driver

The Brother MFC-J720D Remote Setup Port (COM11) driver helps Windows recognize the USB-connected remote setup interface used by compatible Brother configuration software. It is intended for MFC-J720D owners who need to configure their device from a PC or resolve a missing or unrecognized remote setup port.

Key Features

• Remote setup communication: Supports communication between compatible Brother setup utilities and the device through its USB remote setup interface.
• Windows device recognition: Helps Windows identify the interface rather than leave it listed as an unknown device.
• COM port identification: The device name indicates an assigned COM11 port, although Windows may assign a different port number after reconnection or installation.
• Legacy Windows support: Listed operating systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Select a package that matches both your Windows version and system architecture.

How to Install Brother MFC-J720D Remote Setup Port (COM11) Driver

1. Check your system. Confirm your Windows version and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. If comparing Windows 10/11 compatibility, note that Windows 11 is not included in the supplied support list; verify compatibility with Brother before installing.
2. Choose a trusted package. For a Brother MFC-J720D Remote Setup Port (COM11) driver download for Windows, look for a Brother-provided package that explicitly supports your model and operating system. Choose the latest version available for that combination, not simply the newest package overall.
3. Prepare the connection. Power on the device and have a working USB cable ready. Follow the installer’s instructions about when to connect or disconnect the cable.
4. Install the software. Run the downloaded installer and follow its prompts. This interface may be included in a broader Brother driver or software package rather than offered as a separate download. Restart Windows if requested.
5. Verify recognition. Open Device Manager and check that the remote setup interface appears without a warning icon. Test access using compatible Brother remote setup software. This port driver alone does not replace the printer or scanner drivers.

Keep the driver updated when Brother provides a compatible update or when troubleshooting connection problems. A free download should come from a trusted source and should not require unrelated utilities. Before replacing a working driver, review compatibility notes and keep a copy of your current installer in case you need to restore it.
