Brother DCP-T730DW: Setup, Drivers, Ink and Common Problems

Is the Brother DCP-T730DW right for you?

The DCP-T730DW is the 2024 update of the DCP-T720DW ink tank all-in-one, keeping the ADF, automatic duplex and Wi-Fi while refreshing the design and app integration. It uses the same BTD60BK and BT5000 bottles, so supplies are shared with the earlier generation. It is sold in India, Australia, the Middle East and parts of Europe. Figures here are approximate pending Brother's full spec sheet.

Setting up the Brother DCP-T730DW

Fill the tanks, run the initial charge, and join 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi via the LCD or Brother Mobile Connect. Install the Full Driver & Software Package on Windows for ADF scanning. Refill promptly when the Ink Low warning appears.

1. Unbox and prepare. Remove every piece of shipping tape and packing material, install the ink bottles (fill each tank to the upper line), and load paper in the tray.
2. Join your Wi-Fi. Keep the printer close to the router for setup. Most printers only connect to the 2.4GHz band, so if your router broadcasts one merged network name you may need to split the bands temporarily. See our Wi-Fi guide if it will not join.
3. Install the setup app. Use Brother's official app rather than a driver you found on a search result — third-party driver sites are the most common source of printer malware.
4. Add the printer. On Windows 11: Settings › Bluetooth & devices › Printers & scanners › Add device. On macOS: System Settings › Printers & Scanners › Add Printer.
5. Print a test page and run a scan if this is an all-in-one, so you find any problem now rather than when you are in a hurry.

Ink, toner and supplies

The Brother DCP-T730DW uses the following consumables. Match the number exactly when you buy: the same printer family often uses several different cartridge numbers by region.

• BTD60BK black ink bottle (7,500 pages)
• BT5000C/M/Y color ink bottles (5,000 pages each)

High-yield (XL) versions almost always cost less per page if you print regularly. On third-party ink and toner, read our honest assessment first, and note that some manufacturers push firmware that rejects non-original chips.
