PC-Fax Receive (For Windows® only)

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 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.
