PC-FAX receiving
(Not available for MFC-250C and MFC-290C)

The Brother PC-FAX Receive Software lets you view and store faxes on your PC. It is automatically installed
when you install the MFL-Pro Suite and works on locally or network connected machines.
When enabled, your machine will receive faxes in its memory. Once it has received the fax, it will
automatically be sent to your PC.
If you turn your PC off, your machine will continue to receive and store your faxes in its memory. The machine
LCD will display the number of stored faxes received, for example:
PC Fax Msg:001
When you switch your PC on, the PC-FAX Receive Software automatically transfers your faxes to your PC.
To enable the PC-FAX Receive Software, do the following:
 Before you use the PC-FAX Receive function, you must choose PC-FAX Receive from the menu on the
machine.
 Run the Brother PC-FAX Receive software on your PC. (We recommend you select the Add to Startup
folder check box, so that the software automatically runs and can transfer any faxes on PC startup.)

computer that is protected by a

•(For 11× 17 printing models)
If you receive a fax containing multiple paper sizes (for example, a page of Letter data and a page of
Ledger data) the machine creates a new file each time it receives a different paper size. When your PC is
turned off, the machine stores the files in its memory. The LCD will show that more than one fax job has
been received.
