Brother PC-FAX software

PC-FAX receiving

The Brother PC-FAX Receiving software feature lets you view and store your faxes on your PC. It is
automatically installed when you install the MFL-Pro Suite.
When this feature is turned on, your machine will receive faxes into memory. Once it has received the fax, it
will automatically send it to your PC.
Even if you have turned off your PC (at night or on the weekend, for example), your machine will receive and
store your faxes in its memory. The LCD will show the number of stored faxes received, for example PC Fax
Msg:001 .
When you start your PC and the PC-FAX Receiving Software runs, your machine transfers your faxes to your
PC automatically.
To enable the PC-FAX Receiving Software, do the following.
■
Before you use the PC-FAX Receive function, you must select the option of PC-FAX Receive from the
control panel menu of the Brother machine.
■
Run the Brother PC-FAX Receiving software on your PC. (We recommend you select the Add to Startup
folder check box, so that the software automatically runs and can transfer any faxes on PC startup.)
Note
■
PC-FAX receiving is only available when using the USB or Parallel connection, not a Network (LAN)
connection.
■
PC-FAX is available in Black & White only.
