Brother MFC-J875DW Remote Setup Port (COM3) Driver

The Brother MFC-J875DW Remote Setup Port (COM3) driver helps Windows recognize the USB-connected remote setup interface used by Brother software to communicate with your multifunction printer. It is intended for users setting up the MFC-J875DW, restoring remote configuration access, or troubleshooting an unrecognized port in Device Manager.

Key Features

• Remote setup communication: Supports the connection between compatible Brother configuration software and the printer’s remote setup interface.
• USB device recognition: Helps Windows identify the remote setup port correctly rather than leaving it listed as an unknown device.
• Legacy Windows support: Intended for compatible installations of Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, subject to the operating systems supported by the selected package.
• Part of the device setup: Works alongside the appropriate Brother software; this port driver alone does not replace the printer and scanner drivers.

How to Install Brother MFC-J875DW Remote Setup Port (COM3) Driver

1. Check your Windows edition. Confirm your operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. If you are comparing Windows 10/11 compatibility, note that Windows 11 is not included in the supported OS list provided for this device.
2. Choose a compatible package. Before starting your Brother MFC-J875DW Remote Setup Port (COM3) driver download for Windows, verify the model, operating system, and package contents. Select the latest version that explicitly supports your configuration.
3. Download and prepare the files. Use a trusted free download source, preferably Brother’s official support resources. Extract the package if required, and review any included installation instructions.
4. Run the installer. Follow the prompts to install the software, connecting or disconnecting the USB cable only when instructed. If you received driver files without an installer, use Device Manager’s Update driver option and browse to the extracted folder.
5. Verify the connection. Restart Windows if requested, then check Device Manager and test the compatible Brother Remote Setup utility. Windows may assign a COM number other than COM3; the number alone does not necessarily indicate a problem.

Keep the driver updated when Brother provides a compatible release or when an update addresses a connection issue you are experiencing. Check the release notes before replacing a working driver, especially on older Windows systems, and avoid installing packages intended for a different printer model or operating system.
