PC-FAX sending

The Brother PC-FAX feature lets you use your PC to send an application as a standard 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. You can use the Address Book Search feature to quickly find members to send to.
