Receiving Faxes on a Computer

Faxes can be received by a printer and saved in PDF format on a computer connected to the printer. Use the FAX
Utility (application) to make settings.
For details on how to operate FAX Utility, see Basic Operations in the FAX Utility help (displayed on the main
window). If the password entry screen is displayed on the computer screen while you are making settings, enter the
password. If you do not know the password, contact your administrator.
Note:
❏ Check if the FAX Utility and the printer's PC-FAX driver have been installed and the FAX Utility settings have been
made before using this feature.

might become full as it cannot send the documents to the computer.

the printer's control panel.

Checking for New Faxes (Windows)

By setting up a computer to save faxes received by the printer, you can check the processing status of received faxes,
and whether or not there are any new faxes using the fax icon on the Windows task bar. By setting up the computer
to display a notification when new faxes are received, a notification screen pops up near the Windows system tray,
and you can check the new faxes.
