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 number of received faxes
that are stored in the memory will appear on
the LCD.
When you start your PC and the PC-Fax
Receiving software runs, your machine
transfers your faxes to your PC automatically.
