The Brother DCP T720DW network driver helps your Windows computer communicate with the printer over a local network. Installing the appropriate Brother package enables network printing and access to supported printer settings, while packages that include scanner software can also support scanning from your computer.

Key Features

• Network printing: Connects Windows applications to the Brother DCP T720DW through your wireless network, allowing you to send print jobs without a direct USB connection.
• Print settings control: Provides access to supported options such as paper size, media type, print quality, and automatic two-sided printing.
• Device discovery: Compatible Brother setup software can help locate the printer on your network and configure the connection.
• Optional scanning support: A full driver and software package may include the components needed for network scanning. A print-only driver does not necessarily include these tools.

How to Install

1. Select the correct download. Choose a Brother DCP T720DW driver listed for your version of Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7. Check the package’s compatibility details and, where applicable, match it to your system’s 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.
2. Prepare the network connection. Turn on the printer and connect it to your wireless network using its control panel. Make sure your computer can reach the printer on the same local network; guest Wi-Fi settings may block communication between devices.
3. Run the installer. Open the downloaded file, extract it if necessary, and launch the setup program. Approve the Windows permission prompt and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Choose network setup. Select the wireless or network connection option when prompted, then choose your printer from the detected devices. If it is missing, confirm its network connection and use its IP address if the installer offers manual discovery.
5. Check the installation. Complete setup and restart Windows if requested. Print a test page, review your default printing preferences, and try a scan if you installed a package with scanner support.

If Windows reports the printer as offline, first verify that it is powered on and still connected to the network. Checking the selected printer queue and network address can often resolve connection problems without reinstalling the driver.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect USB, remove any previous Brother DCP-T720DW software, then run the full driver package as administrator. Reconnect USB only when the installer prompts.
• Printer not detected on Wi-Fi: The DCP-T720DW supports 2.4 GHz only. Connect it to a 2.4 GHz SSID, temporarily disable VPN/firewall, and confirm the printer and PC are on the same network.
• Scanner or driver version conflicts: Windows may assign a generic driver or keep an old Brother entry. Uninstall old printer/scanner entries in Device Manager and Programs, restart, then install the latest Brother full package before adding the device.
