Using PC-FAX

-
PC Fax Receive
®
(For Windows
If you turn on the PC-Fax Receive feature your
MFC will store received faxes in memory and
send them to your PC automatically. You can
then use your PC to view and store these faxes.
Even if you have turned off your PC (at night or
the weekend, for example), your MFC 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 MFC transfers
your faxes to your PC automatically.
To transfer the received faxes to your PC you
must have the PC-FAX Receiving software
running on your PC. (For details, see PC-FAX
receiving in the Software User's Guide.)

IMPORTANT
If you choose Backup Print On, the
machine will also print the fax at your
machine so you will have a copy. This is a
safety feature in case if there is a power
failure before the fax is forwarded or a
problem at the receiving machine.
(For MFC-7360) The faxes stored in the
machine's memory will be deleted.
Note
• Before you can set up PC-Fax Receive
you must install the MFL-Pro Suite
software on your PC. Make sure your PC
is connected and turned on. (For details,
see PC-FAX receiving in the Software
User's Guide.)
• If your machine has a problem and is
unable to print faxes in memory, you can
use this setting to transfer your faxes to a
PC. (For details, see Error and
maintenance messages in Appendix B on
page 77.)
• PC-Fax Receive is not supported in Mac
OS. (See PC-FAX receiving in the
Software User's Guide.)

PC-Fax Send

The Brother PC-FAX feature lets you use
your PC to send a document from an
application as a standard fax. You can send a
file created in any application on your PC as
a PC-FAX. You can even attach a cover
page. For details, See PC-FAX sending in
the Software User's Guide.
