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 Msgs:001
When you switch your PC on, the PC-FAX Receive Software automatically transfers your faxes to your PC.

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.)
