How do I configure fax forward to e-mail?
The fax forward to e-mail function forwards received faxes to a specified e-mail address.
Print the user settings list:
- Press Menu.
- Press 5 (Print Reports).
- Press 5 (User Settings or System Setup).
- Press Start.
- Open a web browser on a computer connected to the same network as your Brother machine. Enter the IP address from the last page of the user settings list.
- Click on the "FAX SETTINGS" link at the top of the screen. You will be asked for the network cards administrator user name and password. The defaults are:
Username: admin
Password: access - When the FAX Settings page opens click on the REMOTE FAX OPTIONS link. The remote fax options page will now display.
- For "FAX FORWARE/PAGEING" click the drop down tab and select FAX FORWARD.
- In the "FAX FORWARD NUMBER" box enter the e-mail address that you wish the faxes to be forwarded to.
- For "FAX STORAGE" click the circle next to "ON".
- If you wish for a copy of the faxes to be printed as well as forwarded set AUTOMATICALLY PRINT FORWARDED faxes.
- Click SUBMIT at the bottom of the page.
- Click the NETWORK SETTINGS link at the top of the page.
- Click CONFIGURE POP3/SMTP.
- Enter the SMTP e-mail server address. If you are not certain of this address please contact your Internet service provider.
- For "PRINTER E-MAIL ADDRESS" enter a valid e-mail address assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This will need to be an address set up uniquely for the Brother MFC. For assistance in setting up an additional e-mail account you will need to contact your ISP.
- Click SUBMIT at the bottom of the page and the settings will be saved.
Currently the Brother machine does not support SMTP servers that require password authentication to send e-mails.
