Scan a fax into my Brother machine while it is sending a fax from memory, receiving a fax, or printing a document from my computer.
Your Brother machine has Dual Access capabilities.
You can dial a fax number and start scanning a fax into the Brother machine's memory, even when the machine is sending a fax from memory, receiving faxes, or printing documents from a computer. The Brother machine's Touchscreen will display the new job number.
- You cannot use Dual Access to store color faxes in memory.
- The number of pages you can scan into the memory will vary depending on the data that is printed on them.
- If the Out of Memory message appears while your Brother machine is scanning a document, press
to cancel the transmission or press OK or Send Now to immediately send the scanned pages.
To use Dual Access, follow these steps:
- Load your document.
- Enter the fax number you want to send to.
- Press Fax Start on the Brother machine.
- As the machine scans the document, the Touchscreen displays the fax job number.
- After the machine scans the document, it will start dialing the number you entered. You can immediately repeat STEPS 1 through 3 to scan the next document you want to fax.
- As the machine scans the document, the Touchscreen displays the fax job number.
