Brother MFC-8840DN Receiving an Internet Fax to a PC, Forwarding Received E-mail and Fax Messages

If your machine is out of paper when receiving data, the received data will be held in the MFC's memory. This data will be printed automatically after paper is re-inserted into the machine. (For European, Asian and Oceanian MFCs, Memory receive must be switched “ON”.)

If the received mail is not in a plain text format or an attached file is not in the TIFF-F format, the following error message will be printed:

ATTACHED FILE FORMAT NOT SUPPORTED. FILE NAME:XXXXXX.doc If the received mail is too large, the following error message will be printed: E-MAIL FILE TOO LARGE. If Delete POP Receive Error Mail is ON (default) then error mail is automatically deleted from the E-mail Server.

Receiving an Internet Fax to a PC

When a PC receives an Internet Fax document, the document is attached to a mail message that informs the PC that it is receiving a document from an Internet Fax. This is notified in the Subject field of the received mail message.

If the PC to which you wish to send a document is not running Windows® 95/ 98/98SE/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT® 4.0 operating system, please inform the PC's owner that software must be downloaded for documents in the TIFF-F format to be viewed.

You can use “Microsoft® Imaging” that is supplied with Windows® 95/ 98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT® 4.0 but some older versions of Windows® 95 do not support viewing TIFF-F documents.

Forwarding Received E-mail and Fax Messages

You can forward received E-mail or standard fax messages to another E-mail address or fax machine. Received messages can be forwarded via E-mail to a PC or Internet Fax. They can also be forwarded via standard phone lines to another MFC.

Please see User’s Guide included with the machine to check that this feature is supported. This function is not available for color fax documents.
