only) 6
If you turn on the PC-Fax Receive feature
your machine 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 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 transfer the received faxes to your PC you
must have the PC-FAX Receiving software
running on your PC. (For details, see
