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.
When enabled, your machine will receive faxes in its memory. Once it has received the fax, it will be
automatically 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:
PC Fax Msg:001
When you switch your PC on and the PC-FAX Receiving Software automatically transfers your faxes to your
PC.

Before you use the PC-FAX Receive function, you must PC-FAX Receive from the menu on the machine.
(See Enabling PC-FAX on your machine on page 104)
Run the Brother PC-FAX Receiving software on your PC. (We recommend to choose the Add to Startup
folder check box, so that the software automatically runs and can transfer any faxes on PC startup.)
