protocols.
Network scanning 1
You can scan documents over the network to your computer (See Network Scanning in the Software User’s
Guide).
Network PC Fax 1
You can directly send a PC file as a PC Fax over your network (See Brother PC-FAX Software for Windows®
and Sending a Fax for Macintosh® in the Software User’s Guide for a complete description). Windows® users
can also PC Fax receive (See PC-FAX receiving in the Software User’s Guide).
Fax to server 1
The Fax to Server feature allows the machine to scan documents and send them via a separate fax server.

and Mac OS® X 10.2.4 or greater. For installing BRAdmin Light on Windows®, please see the Quick Setup
Guide provided with the machine. For Macintosh® users, BRAdmin Light will be installed automatically when
