PC-FAX sending

The Brother PC-FAX feature allows you to use your PC to send an application or document file as a standard 
fax. You can send a file created in any application on your PC as a PC-FAX. You can even attach a cover 
page. All you have to do is set up the receiving parties as members or groups in your PC-FAX Address Book 
or simply enter the destination address or fax number into the user interface.
The Brother PC-FAX feature allows you to use your PC to send a fax from within your Windows application. 
The PC-FAX software allows you to choose the address book type. You can select from the default Brother 
PC-FAX address book or the Microsoft
