The Brother MFC J4710DW Printer driver enables Windows to communicate with your printer and send print jobs with the correct settings. For network use, it helps your computer access the device over a wired or wireless connection, making it easier to print from a shared home or office setup. Choose a Brother driver package that matches your version of Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7.

Key Features

• Network printing support: Connects Windows applications to the printer over your local network once the device is configured and reachable.
• Print quality controls: Provides access to supported options such as paper size, media type, orientation, and print quality so you can adjust output for documents or graphics.
• Duplex and layout options: Lets you select supported two-sided printing and page layout settings directly from the printing preferences.
• Additional device functions: A full driver and software package may include scanning support and maintenance utilities. Available components depend on the selected download and Windows version.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Open your system information to confirm the operating system and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. Select the matching Brother MFC J4710DW driver, checking the package’s compatibility notes before downloading.

1. Prepare the network connection. Turn on the printer and connect it to your router using Ethernet or configure its wireless connection. Ensure your Windows computer can reach the printer on the same local network; guest Wi-Fi may prevent device discovery.

1. Run the installer. Open the downloaded setup file and approve the Windows permission prompt if it appears. Follow the on-screen instructions and select the network connection option when asked.

1. Select your printer. Choose the Brother MFC J4710DW from the detected devices. If it does not appear, check the printer’s network status and try searching by its IP address if the installer offers that option.

1. Finish and test. Complete setup and restart the computer if prompted. Open Windows printer settings, select the installed device, and print a test page. If you installed scanning components, test those separately to confirm the functions you need are working.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Remove any existing Brother MFC-J4710DW entries in Control Panel > Programs, reboot, then run the official Brother installer as administrator. Keep USB disconnected until the installer prompts.
• Device not detected: For USB, use a direct rear port—not a hub—and try another cable. For Wi-Fi, print the network configuration page, confirm the PC and printer are on the same network, and re-add the printer by IP.
• Driver/version conflicts: Windows may install a generic WSD driver. Delete duplicate MFC-J4710DW queues, set the Brother driver as default, and install the latest full package for your exact Windows version from Brother support.
