PC fax receive

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 
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.

For PC fax receive to work you must have the 
PC-FAX Receive 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 machine 
will also print the fax.

Note

• Before you can set up PC Fax Receive 

you must install the MFL-Pro Suite 
software on your PC. Make sure your PC 
is connected and turned on. (For details 
see 

PC-FAX Receiving

 in the Software 

User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.)

• If your machine has a problem and is 

unable to print faxes in memory, you can 
use this setting to transfer your faxes to a 
PC. (For details, see 

Error and 

maintenance messages

 on page 107.)

• If you choose Backup Print On, the 

machine will also print the fax at your 
machine so you will have a copy. This is a 
safety feature in case if there is a power 
failure before the fax is forwarded or a 
problem at the receiving machine. The 
MFC-7840W can store faxes for 
approximately 4 days if there is a power 
failure. The faxes stored in the MFC-7340, 
MFC-7345N or MFC-7440N memory will 
be deleted.

• PC Fax Receive is not supported in Mac 

OS. (See 

PC Fax receiving

 in the 

Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.)
