Note
• The PC-FAX software can only receive Black & White fax documents.
• If your PC is protected by a firewall and is unable to use PC-FAX receive, you may need to configure the
firewall settings to allow communication through port number 54926 and 137. (See Before using the
Brother software on page 104.)
Depending on the operating system you are using, you may get a Security Alert message when you start
the PC-FAX receiving feature. To enable PC-FAX receiving, you must unblock the program.
The Brother PC-FAX Receive Software lets you view and store faxes on your PC. 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 PC.
If you turn your PC 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:
PC Fax Msg:001
When you switch your PC on, the PC-FAX Receive Software automatically transfers your faxes to your PC.
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 PC. (We recommend you select the Add to Startup
folder check box, so that the software automatically runs and can transfer any faxes on PC startup.)
