Simultaneous Printing/Fax

Your MFC can print data from your computer while sending or receiving a fax, or while scanning information into the computer. However, when the MFC is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the PC printing operation, and resumes when copying or fax receiving is complete. Fax sending will continue during PC printing.
