Brother MFC-J4710DW Driver

The Brother MFC-J4710DW driver connects this multifunction inkjet printer to Windows so your computer can send print jobs and, with the appropriate scanner software, capture documents. If you are setting up the device, reconnecting it after a Windows reinstall, or troubleshooting missing printing and scanning functions, installing a compatible Brother driver is a useful first step.

Key Features

• Printer controls: Access settings such as paper size, print quality, orientation, and two-sided printing through the compatible print driver.
• Scanning support: Use a suitable Brother scanner driver to scan documents from the flatbed or automatic document feeder into compatible Windows applications.
• Connection options: Set up the printer for a supported USB, Ethernet, or wireless connection, depending on the driver package and your network configuration.
• Software choices: Choose a basic driver or a fuller software package when available, depending on whether you need printing alone or additional scanning and setup tools.

How to Install Brother MFC-J4710DW Driver

1. Check your Windows edition. Confirm your operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. Listed supported systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP; package availability and features can vary. For Windows 10/11 systems, check compatibility separately—Windows 11 support should not be assumed.
2. Select the matching package. Before starting your Brother MFC-J4710DW driver download for Windows, review the package description and choose the latest version offered for your specific operating system. Use an official Brother source for a free download rather than a third-party driver updater.
3. Prepare the connection. Turn on the printer. For a network installation, connect it to the same local network as your computer. For USB setup, follow the installer’s instructions about when to attach the cable.
4. Install the driver. Open the downloaded installer, approve the Windows permission prompt, and follow the setup instructions. Select the correct model and connection method if prompted.
5. Test the setup. Restart Windows if requested, then print a test page. If you installed scanner software, try a scan as well.

Keep your driver updated by checking for a compatible release when printing problems arise or after a Windows change. Review the release notes before an update, and avoid replacing a working driver with a package intended for another model or operating system.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect USB during wireless setup and remove any older Brother MFC-J4710DW software first. Run the full driver package as administrator, then reboot before reinstalling.
• Device not detected: Confirm the MFC-J4710DW is on the same network/subnet or try a different USB cable and port. Print a network configuration page and verify the printer’s IP; reselect the correct port in Windows.
• Driver/version conflicts: Uninstall old MFC-J4710DW drivers and Brother utilities before installing the latest full package. Avoid mixing Windows generic drivers with Brother software; restart after removal.
