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.
For PC-Fax Receive to work you must have
the PC-FAX Receive software running on
your PC.
