Brother MFC-J855DN Remote Setup Port (COM6) Driver

The Brother MFC-J855DN Remote Setup Port (COM6) driver helps Windows communicate with the multifunction printer’s remote setup interface over USB, allowing compatible Brother software to access device settings. It is intended for users setting up the printer, restoring a missing remote setup connection, or troubleshooting an unrecognized COM port.

Key Features

• Remote setup communication: Supports the connection used by compatible Brother Remote Setup software to read or change supported device settings.
• USB port recognition: Helps Windows identify the remote setup interface associated with the Brother MFC-J855DN. COM6 is the assigned port number on this system; Windows may assign a different number after reconnection or reinstallation.
• Legacy Windows compatibility: Listed operating systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Select a package that matches both your Windows version and its 32-bit or 64-bit architecture.
• Dedicated interface support: Addresses the remote setup port rather than replacing every printer or scanner component. Separate Brother drivers or utilities may be required for printing, scanning, and configuration.

How to Install Brother MFC-J855DN Remote Setup Port (COM6) Driver

1. Check your system. Confirm your Windows version and architecture in system settings. If comparing Windows 10/11 compatibility, note that Windows 11 is not included in the supplied support list; verify availability with Brother before proceeding.
2. Choose a compatible package. For a Brother MFC-J855DN Remote Setup Port (COM6) driver download for Windows, use an official Brother source when available. Look for the latest version compatible with your operating system, and verify that any free download is intended for your model.
3. Prepare the USB connection. Turn on the printer and follow the package’s instructions about when to connect its USB cable. Close any running Brother setup utilities before starting.
4. Install the driver. Run the downloaded installer, if provided, and follow its prompts. For a driver-only package, use Device Manager’s Update driver option and browse to the extracted files.
5. Verify operation. Restart Windows if requested, check Device Manager for warning icons, and test the connection using compatible Brother Remote Setup software. The assigned port may not remain COM6.

Keep the driver updated when Brother provides a compatible release that addresses connection issues or operating-system changes. Before you update, review the package’s supported models and Windows versions; a newer driver is useful only when it matches your setup.
