How to Install Brother MFC-J955DN Remote Setup Port (COM3) Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Open your system information and confirm whether you use a 32-bit or 64-bit edition. For Windows 10/11 users, note that Windows 10 is listed as supported, while Windows 11 compatibility requires confirmation from Brother.
2. Choose the correct package. Before starting your Brother MFC-J955DN Remote Setup Port (COM3) driver download for Windows, verify the model, operating system, and package details. Use a trusted source for a free download, preferably Brother’s official support resources.
3. Prepare the connection. Turn on the device and follow the package instructions regarding when to connect its USB cable. Close any Brother setup applications already running.
4. Install the driver. Run the downloaded installer, if provided, and follow its prompts. If the download contains only driver files, use Device Manager’s Update driver option and browse to the extracted folder.
5. Verify operation. Restart Windows if requested, then check Device Manager for warning icons and test communication through compatible Brother Remote Setup software. Windows may assign a COM number other than COM3.

Keep the driver updated when Brother offers a compatible release or recommends an update to address a specific issue. Check the latest version against your Windows edition before installing it, and avoid replacing a working driver with an unsupported package.
