Brother MFC-9560CDW Remote Setup Port (COM7) Driver

The Brother MFC-9560CDW Remote Setup Port (COM7) driver helps Windows recognize the communication interface used by Brother’s Remote Setup software to configure the MFC-9560CDW multifunction printer. It is relevant if you use Remote Setup, are reinstalling Brother software, or see this device listed with a warning in Device Manager. Although sometimes categorized as a camera device in driver listings, this entry relates to printer configuration rather than image capture.

Key Features

• Remote Setup communication: Supports the interface that Brother software uses to access supported printer settings from your computer.
• Device recognition: Helps Windows identify the Remote Setup port correctly when installed with the appropriate Brother software package.
• Legacy Windows options: Look for packages matching Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, or XP, including the correct 32-bit or 64-bit edition.
• Port identification: COM7 is the port assignment shown on this computer; Windows may assign a different COM number after reconnection or reinstallation.

How to Install Brother MFC-9560CDW Remote Setup Port (COM7) Driver

1. Check your Windows edition. Confirm your operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. For Windows 10/11 systems, check compatibility separately: Windows 11 is not included in the supported OS list provided for this entry.
2. Select the matching package. When choosing a Brother MFC-9560CDW Remote Setup Port (COM7) driver download for Windows, verify the model and OS details. Prefer an official Brother free download, and choose the latest version offered for your specific system—not simply the newest package available.
3. Prepare the connection. Close Brother utilities and follow the installer’s instructions about when to connect or disconnect the printer. Avoid changing COM port settings unless troubleshooting instructions require it.
4. Install the software. Run the downloaded installer and approve the administrator prompt if requested. If no standalone Remote Setup port driver is offered, check whether the model’s compatible software package includes the required component.
5. Verify operation. Restart if prompted, then check Device Manager for warnings and open Brother Remote Setup to confirm it can communicate with the printer.

Keep the driver and associated Brother utilities updated with compatible releases, especially when resolving connection problems or reinstalling Windows. Before an update, review the supported operating systems and release notes; a newer driver is useful only when it matches your hardware and Windows edition.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or COM7 is unavailable: Another device may already be using COM7. Open Device Manager, check Ports (COM & LPT), and free/change the conflicting port before reinstalling the Brother Remote Setup Port driver.
• Device not detected: Confirm the MFC-9560CDW is powered on and connected by USB or network, then restart the Print Spooler service. Install the full Brother package for this model so the Remote Setup Port and scanner/printer drivers are present.
• Version conflicts after upgrading: Remove older Brother Remote Setup software and stale COM port entries in Device Manager, then reinstall the latest driver package matching the MFC-9560CDW. Avoid manually forcing COM7 unless required.
