The Brother PC-FAX Receive Software lets you view and store faxes on your computer. It is automatically
installed when you install the MFL-Pro Suite and works on locally or network connected machines.
When enabled, your machine will receive faxes in its memory. Once it has received the fax, it will
automatically be sent to your computer.
If you turn your computer off, your machine will continue to receive and store your faxes in its memory. The
machine LCD will display the number of stored faxes received, for example:
When you switch your computer on, the PC-FAX Receive Software automatically transfers your faxes to your
computer.
To enable the PC-FAX Receive Software, do the following:
 Before you use the PC-FAX Receive function, you must choose PC-FAX Receive from the menu on
the machine.
 Run the Brother PC-FAX Receive software on your computer. (We recommend you select the Add to
Startup folder check box, so that the software automatically runs and can transfer any faxes on computer
startup.)
