PC Fax Receive 9
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 on
the CD-ROM.)

If you choose Backup Print On, the

problem at the receiving machine. The
machine can store faxes for up to 60 hours
if there is a power failure.
