Overview

Depending on your network configuration and application 
requirements for sending faxes via a network, you can choose 
between Brother Network PC FAX Software or Brother Internet Fax 
Printing Software. With either software, viewable document such as 
web pages, word documents, PDF documents can be sent from the 
users desktop to any standard Facsimile machines, Internet fax 
machines and E-mail addresses.

Brother Internet Fax Printing Software (BFP) is a Windows

®

 98/Me 

and Windows

®

 2000/XP software utility that gives network PC Fax 

and Internet Fax functionality from the desktop to users on your 
network or over the Internet.

BFP utilizes SMTP as the transport for sending documents from your 
PC. This allows any PC supported by a SMTP mail server to send an 
Internet FAX even if that PC does not have direct access to the 
networked machine.

Brother Network PC Fax Software utilizes LPR as the transport for 
sending documents from your PC to the networked machine for 
transmission. This requires that the sending PC has access to the 
network that the sending machine is connected.
