The Brother MFC J3520 Printer driver lets Windows communicate with your printer, helping documents reach the device with the correct paper size, layout, and print settings. Choose the Brother driver package that matches your version of Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 to set up printing and access the options available for this multifunction printer.

Key Features

• Print settings control: Adjust paper size, media type, print quality, and page orientation to suit everyday documents or more detailed output.
• Paper-saving options: Access supported duplex and multiple-pages-per-sheet settings to reduce paper use when printing longer documents.
• Connection setup: Configure printing through a supported USB or network connection, depending on your setup and the selected driver package.
• Multifunction support: A full driver and software package may include scanning components and Brother utilities alongside the printer driver. Check the package contents if you need more than printing.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether your computer runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check its system type where applicable. Select a package listed for your operating system and the Brother MFC J3520.
2. Prepare the printer. Turn it on, load paper, and clear any messages shown on its display. For network installation, make sure the printer and computer are connected to the same local network.
3. Download and open the installer. Save the appropriate driver package, then run the downloaded file. Allow administrator access if Windows requests it.
4. Follow the connection prompts. Choose the connection method you intend to use. For USB setup, connect the cable when the installer asks; for network setup, select the correct printer from the detected devices.
5. Verify the installation. Restart the computer if prompted, then print a test page from Windows printer settings. If you installed scanning software, try a test scan as well.

If the printer is not detected, check the USB cable or network connection before repeating setup. When Windows shows several Brother printer entries, select the one associated with your current connection to avoid sending jobs to an inactive queue.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Run the Brother installer as administrator, disconnect the USB cable until prompted, and temporarily disable antivirus/firewall. Remove previous Brother software with the Brother Uninstall Tool, reboot, then reinstall the full MFC-J3520 package.
• Printer not detected: Confirm the MFC-J3520 is powered on and use a direct USB port/cable, not a hub. For network use, verify the PC and printer are on the same subnet and print the network configuration report to check the IP.
• Driver/version conflicts: Delete old MFC-J3520 queues in Devices and Printers/Print Management, clear stale Brother drivers, and avoid the Windows generic/WSD driver. Install the correct 32-bit/64-bit Brother package and set it as default.
