In order to use this function, please download the necessary software from our web site The Brother Solutions 
Center (http://solutions.brother.com).
In order for the machine to receive data from the desktop and then send this information (network fax) to other 
fax machines the Relay Broadcast Function must be switched “ON”. You must also identify which networks 
can relay faxes through your machine. This is known as setting the Trusted Domain. For instance, if a network 
machine has an E-mail address of fax@brother.com and users of this machine also have E-mail addresses 
with the same domain name then the machine must be told to allow these users to send network faxes 
through the machine. This is known as the Relay Function and Trusted Domains. So we set the trusted 
domain as brother.com.

Note

Trusted Domains provide security for your machine. In that only users from a particular domain can send 
faxes through your network connected machine.
