If you turn on the PC Fax Receive feature your MFC 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 MFC 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 MFC transfers your faxes to your PC automatically.
To transfer the received faxes to your PC you must have the PC-FAX Receiving software running on your PC. (For details, see PC-FAX receiving in the Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.)

Note
| • | Before you can set up PC Fax Receive you must install the MFL-Pro Suite software on your PC. Make sure your PC is connected and turned on. (For details see PC-FAX Receiving in the Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.) |
| • | If your machine has a problem and is unable to print faxes in memory, you can use this setting to transfer your faxes to a PC. (For details, see Error and maintenance messages.) |
| • | If you choose Backup Print On, the machine will also print the fax at your machine so you will have a copy. This is a safety feature in case if there is a power failure before the fax is forwarded or a problem at the receiving machine. The MFC-7450 and MFC-7840N can store faxes to up to 4 days if there is a power failure. The faxes stored in the MFC-7340 memory will be deleted. |
| • | PC Fax Receive is not supported in Mac OS. (See PC Fax receiving in the Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM) |
