The Brother MFC L2700DW driver helps Windows communicate with your monochrome laser multifunction printer, allowing you to send print jobs and adjust device settings from your computer. Installing the appropriate Brother software can also enable scanning, depending on the package you choose. Select a download that matches your version of Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 and your system architecture.

Key Features

• Print settings and paper handling: Access options such as paper size, print quality, and automatic two-sided printing for everyday documents.
• Scanning support: A compatible scanner driver lets supported Windows applications receive scans from the flatbed or automatic document feeder.
• USB and wireless connectivity: Configure the printer for a direct USB connection or use it over your wireless network, with the appropriate installation package.
• Multifunction setup: A full software package, where available, can install printing and scanning components together, reducing the need to configure each function separately.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Open your PC’s system information to confirm the operating system and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. Choose a Brother MFC L2700DW driver package listed for that configuration; software availability can differ between Windows versions.

1. Prepare the printer and connection. Turn on the device and load paper. For wireless installation, connect the printer to the same local network as your computer. For USB setup, leave the cable disconnected until the installer asks you to connect it, unless the package instructions say otherwise.

1. Download and launch the installer. Save the matching driver package, extract it if necessary, and run the setup file. Allow administrator access when Windows requests permission, then follow the on-screen instructions.

1. Select the connection method. Choose USB or a network connection as appropriate. If the installer cannot find the printer wirelessly, confirm that both devices are on the same network and that the printer is connected.

1. Verify printing and scanning. Finish setup and restart your PC if prompted. Print a test page from Windows printer settings, then try a scan if you installed the scanning components. If printing works but scanning does not, check whether a separate scanner driver is needed.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the MFC-L2700DW USB cable, uninstall previous Brother software with Brother’s Deinstallation Tool, reboot, then run the full Driver & Software Package. Reconnect USB only when prompted.
• Device not detected: Confirm the printer is on and ready; try another USB port/cable and avoid hubs. For Ethernet/Wi-Fi, print a network configuration report and verify the PC and printer are on the same network. Add the Brother MFC-L2700DW manually if needed.
• Driver/version conflicts: Remove older MFC-L2700DW and generic Brother printer entries in Devices and Printers, then install the latest full package from Brother. The Windows generic driver may print but can disable scanning/fax features.
