PC-Fax Receive

If you turn on the PC-Fax Receive feature your machine will store received faxes in memory and send them to your PC automatically. You can then use your PC to view and store these faxes.

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 number of received faxes that are stored in the memory will appear on the LCD.

When you start your PC and the PC-Fax Receiving software runs, your machine transfers your faxes to your PC automatically.

For PC-Fax Receive to work you must have the PC-FAX Receive software running on your PC. (For details, see PC-FAX Receiving in the Software User's Guide.)

If you choose Backup Print On, the machine will also print the fax.
