Brother MFC-695CDN Remote Setup Port (COM6) Driver

The Brother MFC-695CDN Remote Setup Port (COM6) driver helps Windows recognize the communication interface used by Brother’s Remote Setup software to access compatible device settings. It is intended for users setting up the MFC-695CDN or troubleshooting a missing or unrecognized remote setup port, rather than installing a camera driver.

Key Features

• Remote setup communication: Supports the connection between compatible Brother configuration software and the device’s remote setup interface.
• Port recognition: Helps Windows identify the Remote Setup Port shown as COM6. The assigned COM number may differ between computers.
• Legacy Windows support: Look for a compatible package for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, or XP, matching your system’s 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.
• Targeted troubleshooting: Reinstalling the correct package may resolve driver-related recognition errors. Printing, scanning, and other functions may require additional Brother software.

How to Install Brother MFC-695CDN Remote Setup Port (COM6) Driver

1. Check your Windows configuration. Confirm your operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. If researching compatibility for Windows 10/11, note that Windows 11 is not included in the supported OS list provided for this device.
2. Select the appropriate package. Before starting your Brother MFC-695CDN Remote Setup Port (COM6) driver download for Windows, verify the model, operating system, and package description. Choose a free download from an official Brother support source when available.
3. Prepare the connection. Close Brother utilities and follow the package instructions for connecting the device. If the installer asks you to disconnect the USB cable temporarily, reconnect it only when prompted.
4. Install the driver. Extract the downloaded files if necessary, then run the installer and follow its prompts. If the package contains only driver files, use Device Manager’s Update driver option and browse to the extracted folder.
5. Verify operation. Restart Windows if requested, check Device Manager for warning icons, and open the compatible Brother Remote Setup utility to test communication.

Keep the driver updated when Brother offers a compatible release that addresses your issue or improves reliability. The latest version available for your particular Windows edition is preferable to an unrelated newer package. Before an update, review compatibility notes and retain a working installer in case you need to restore the previous setup.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Disconnect the MFC-695CDN, remove older Brother software and leftover Remote Setup/Status Monitor entries, reboot, then run the full Brother driver package as administrator. Reconnect only when prompted.
• Device not detected / COM6 missing: Confirm the printer is powered and connected. Check Device Manager for “Brother Remote Setup Port” or an unknown COM device. Restart the PC and spooler; if COM6 is already used by another device, free it or let Brother reassign the port.
• Version or port conflicts: Mixing old Remote Setup utilities with a newer driver can leave the wrong COM port assigned. Uninstall all Brother packages with the Brother uninstall tool, install the latest MFC-695CDN package, and avoid manually changing COM6 unless required.
