PC Fax Receive 10
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 at 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 at
the bottom left side of the LCD.
When you start your PC and the PC-FAX
Receiving software runs, your machine
transfers your faxes to your PC automatically.
To transfer the received faxes to your PC you
must have the PC-FAX Receiving software
running on your PC. (For details, see PC-FAX
receiving in the Software User’s Guide on the
CD-ROM.)
If you choose Backup Print:On the
machine will also print the fax.

• Before you can set up PC Fax Receive
you must install the MFL-Pro Suite
software on you PC. Make sure your PC is
connected and turned on. (For details see
PC-FAX Receiving in the Software User’s
Guide on the CD-ROM.)
• (MFC-660CN only)
In the event of a power failure, the
machine will store your faxes in the
memory for up to 24 hours. However, if
you choose Backup Print:On the
machine will print the fax, so you will have
a copy if there is a power failure before it
is sent to the PC.
• If you get an error message and the
machine cannot print the faxes in memory,
you can use this setting to transfer your
faxes to your PC. (For details, see Error
messages on page 125.)
• When PC Fax Receive is turned on only
monochrome faxes can be received into
the memory and sent to the PC. Colour
faxes will be received in real time and
printed in colour.
