6 Using PC-FAX

How to use PC-FAX

PC-Fax Receive (For Windows® only)

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

Even if you turn off your computer (at night or on the weekend, for example), your MFC will receive and store your faxes in its memory.

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

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