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 on the weekend, for example), your 
machine will receive and store your faxes in 
its memory. The LCD will show the number of 
received faxes that are stored in the memory, 
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
