How do I set up to receive fax

The provided context does not contain specific instructions for setting up fax receiving on the Brother MFC-J470DW. However, it mentions general fax operations and troubleshooting steps. You may refer to the Basic User’s Guide included with the printer for fax setup instructions.

If you are experiencing issues with receiving faxes over a network using PC-Fax Receive (Windows®), ensure that port 54926 (UDP) is allowed through your security or firewall settings.

For detailed setup steps, check the Basic User’s Guide that came with the device.
