The Brother MFC L2720DW Printer driver helps Windows communicate with your multifunction printer so you can send documents to print and adjust settings for everyday jobs. Choosing the correct Brother package for Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 can also provide access to scanning features when the package includes scanner drivers and supporting software.

Key Features

• Print settings that match your device: Access options such as paper size, media type, print quality, and copy count through the Windows print dialog.
• Automatic two-sided printing: Use duplex settings to print on both sides of the page, helping reduce paper use for reports, handouts, and longer documents.
• USB and network connectivity: Set up the printer using a USB cable or through your wired or wireless network, depending on your workspace.
• Scanning support with compatible packages: A full driver and software package may include the components needed to scan documents from the flatbed or automatic document feeder to your computer.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether your computer runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check its system type where applicable. Select a download specifically listed for your operating system and the Brother MFC L2720DW.
2. Prepare the printer. Turn it on and make sure it has paper and toner. For a network setup, connect the printer and computer to the same local network. For USB installation, leave the cable disconnected until the installer asks for it.
3. Run the downloaded installer. Open the setup file, approve the Windows permission prompt if shown, and follow the on-screen instructions. Choose the full software package if you need scanning tools as well as printing.
4. Select your connection method. Choose USB, wired network, or wireless network as appropriate. Allow setup to detect the printer, then confirm the correct device before completing installation.
5. Verify the setup. Restart Windows if prompted and print a test page from the printer’s settings. If you installed scanner software, try a sample scan too. If the printer is not detected, check the cable or network connection before running setup again.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Disconnect the USB cable, run Brother’s uninstall tool, reboot, then install the latest full driver package from Brother support. Reconnect USB only when the installer prompts; don’t let Windows add a separate queue mid-install.
• Printer not detected: For USB, try another direct port/cable and remove unknown Brother devices in Device Manager. For wireless, print the network configuration page, confirm the MFC-L2720DW is on the same network, and add it by IP address.
• Driver/version conflicts: Delete old Brother and WSD/IPP queues in Print Management, clear leftover Brother drivers, restart the Print Spooler service, then reinstall the current MFC-L2720DW driver package. Avoid running two setup wizards at once.
