Use Brother's PC-FAX software to receive

print only those faxes you want.

faxes in its memory. The number of
received faxes that are stored in the

PC-Fax Receive software runs, your
MFC transfers your faxes to your
computer automatically.
• For PC-Fax Receive to work, the PC-
FAX Receive software must be running
on your computer.

you must install the Brother software and
drivers on your computer. Make sure
your Brother machine is connected to
your computer and turned on.

unable to print faxes from memory, use

computer.
