The Brother PC-FAX Receiving Software lets you view and store faxes on your PC. It is automatically
installed when you install the MFL-Pro Suite and works on locally or network connected machines.

it will automatically be sent to your PC.
If you turn your PC off, your machine will continue to receive and store your faxes in its memory. The machine
LCD will display the number of stored faxes received, for example:
