Receiving Faxes on a Computer

Faxes can be received by a printer and saved in PDF or TIFF 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 printer administrator.
Note:
❏ Check if the FAX Utility has been installed and the FAX Utility settings have been made before using this feature.
