Brother MFC-J875DW Remote Setup Port (COM36) Driver

The Brother MFC-J875DW Remote Setup Port (COM36) driver helps Windows recognize the USB-connected remote setup interface used by Brother software to communicate with the printer’s configuration functions. It is intended for users setting up the MFC-J875DW, restoring a missing device entry, or troubleshooting remote setup communication—not as a replacement for the printer and scanner drivers.

Key Features

• Remote setup communication: Supports the connection between compatible Brother configuration software and the MFC-J875DW through its USB remote setup interface.
• Windows device recognition: Helps Windows identify the remote setup port rather than leaving it listed as an unknown device or with a driver warning.
• Legacy Windows support: Listed operating systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Choose a package that specifically supports your Windows release and system architecture.
• Integration with Brother software: Works alongside the appropriate Brother utilities and device drivers. COM36 is a Windows-assigned port identifier and may differ on another computer.

How to Install Brother MFC-J875DW Remote Setup Port (COM36) Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm your operating system and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. For Windows 10/11 computers, note that Windows 10 is listed as supported here; Windows 11 compatibility requires separate verification.
2. Select a compatible package. Before starting your Brother MFC-J875DW Remote Setup Port (COM36) driver download for Windows, verify the model, supported operating systems, and publisher. Choose the latest version offered for your specific system rather than assuming the newest package supports every older Windows release.
3. Download and prepare the files. Use a trusted source for the free download, then extract the files if necessary. Keep the printer powered on, but connect or disconnect its USB cable according to the installer’s instructions.
4. Install the driver. Run the included setup program and follow its prompts. If the download contains only driver files, use Device Manager’s Update driver option for the matching remote setup device and browse to the extracted folder.
5. Verify the connection. Restart Windows if prompted, check Device Manager for warning icons, and test communication using compatible Brother remote setup software. Do not force the port number to COM36 if Windows assigns a different one.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible update addresses connection problems or supports changes to your system. Review compatibility before replacing a working driver, especially on older Windows versions, and retain the previous installer in case you need to roll back.
