Brother MFC-J720D Remote Setup Port (COM4) Driver

The Brother MFC-J720D Remote Setup Port (COM4) driver helps Windows recognize the USB-connected interface used by Brother’s Remote Setup software to communicate with your multifunction printer. It is intended for users setting up the device, restoring a missing remote setup connection, or troubleshooting an unrecognized port in Device Manager.

Unlike a standard print driver, this component supports the remote configuration interface rather than handling everyday print jobs. The COM4 label identifies the port assignment on your computer; Windows may assign a different COM number after reconnection or installation.

Key Features

• Remote setup communication: Supports the connection between the device’s setup interface and compatible Brother configuration software.
• USB interface recognition: Helps Windows identify the remote setup port when the appropriate driver package is installed.
• Legacy Windows support: Intended for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, subject to the compatibility requirements of the selected package.
• Targeted troubleshooting: Reinstalling the correct driver may resolve missing-driver warnings or communication problems caused by an incorrect installation.

How to Install Brother MFC-J720D Remote Setup Port (COM4) 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 carefully: Windows 10 is listed for this device, but Windows 11 support is not confirmed here.
2. Choose a compatible package. Before starting your Brother MFC-J720D Remote Setup Port (COM4) driver download for Windows, verify the model and supported operating system. Select the latest version compatible with your setup, and use a trusted free download source.
3. Prepare the connection. Close Brother utilities and follow the package instructions about when to connect the USB cable. If the download is compressed, extract it before proceeding.
4. Install the driver. Run the supplied installer and follow its prompts. If the package contains only driver files, open Device Manager, select the affected device, choose Update driver, and browse to the extracted folder.
5. Verify operation. Restart Windows if requested, check that the port has no warning icon in Device Manager, and test communication using compatible Brother Remote Setup software.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses a problem or supports a system change. Before you update, review the package requirements; a newer driver for another model or Windows edition is not necessarily suitable for this device.
