Start installing the software first. During the installation process, a message will appear on the monitor informing you when to connect the printer to your computer.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-58591 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/drivernew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Driver-installation.webp\" alt=\"Installing the printer driver\" width=\"210\" height=\"97\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drivernew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Driver-installation.webp 210w, https:\/\/drivernew.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Driver-installation-160x74.webp 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px\" \/>If you see the message &#8216;Found New Hardware&#8217; on the screen, click Cancel and disconnect the USB cable. Then proceed to install the software. A common mistake when installing a driver is that you first connect the device to your computer using a USB cable and then install the driver. In this case, the operating system detects the connected device and installs its own driver, which may not work correctly or not work at all. However, some other devices may work fine with the driver installed by the operating system. Therefore, if there is a driver specially created for your device, then first start installing this driver and only then connect the device to the computer.<\/p>\n<p>Brother MFC-5840CN<\/p>\n<p>Double-click the downloaded .exe file. It will be decompressed and the Setup screen will be displayed.
