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.

To transfer the received faxes to your PC you 
must have the PC-FAX Receive software 
running on your PC. (For details, see 

PC-FAX 

receive (including when the PC is turned off) 
in the Software User’s Guide on the 
CD-ROM

.)

If you select Backup Print On, the machine 
will also print the fax.
