PC-FAX receiving (including when the PC is turned off)
The Brother PC-FAX Receiving software feature lets you view and store your faxes on your PC. It is
automatically installed when you install the MFL-Pro Suite.
When this feature is turned on, your machine will receive faxes into memory. Once it has received the fax, it
will automatically send it to your PC.
Even if you have turned off your PC (at night or at 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.
To enable the PC-FAX Receiving Software, do the following.
■
Turn on the PC-FAX Receive function in the machine’s menu.
■
Run the Brother PC-FAX Receiving software on your PC. (We recommend to select the
Add to Startup
folder
check box, so that the software automatically runs and can transfer any faxes on PC startup.)
Note
■
PC-FAX receiving is only available when using the USB or Parallel connection, not the Network (LAN)
connection.
■
If you are using Windows

If you select Backup Print:On, the machine will print the fax, so you will have a copy if there is a power
failure before it is sent to the PC. The fax messages are automatically erased from your machine’s memory
when they have been successfully printed and sent to your PC. When Backup Print is off, your fax messages
are automatically erased from your machine’s memory when they have been successfully sent to your PC.
