PC-FAX sending
6
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
®
Outlook Express Address Book. If you choose to use the Microsoft
®
Outlook Express Address Book you can store all your e-mail and PC-FAX contacts in one address book. This
address book also provides a search feature. See Address Book on page 96.
