Today we are going to learn how to setup the PC-Fax software to receive faxes on your Windows computer. This video will cover multiple models and software versions. Even though your machine may not match the model referred to on the screen the overall process will be the same. Before beginning you will need to install the full driver and software package, either from the installation disc or by downloaded it from http://ift.tt/KVp7Rt. Verify that your Brother machine is installed on your Windows computer and connected to working phone jack with a telephone line cord. If your Machine is installed on a network you will also need to know your PC name. Once the software is installed, open the Brother Utilities application…and click on “Tools.” Then click on the “Remote Setup” icon. If your software package does not include the Brother Utilities application, you will need to open the Remote Setup utility directly from the start menu. Once the program gathers the needed information from your Brother machine the Initial Setup window will open. On the options list navigate to Fax heading and select the Remote Fax option. From the PC Fax Receive dropdown select the “On” setting. Then navigate to the dropdown marked PC. If your machine is connected to your computer by a USB connection select the USB option. If your machine is connected through a network select your PC name from the dropdown. Please note that selected the incorrect computer name will send all faxes to that computer. To automatically print a copy of incoming faxes set the Backup Print option to “On.” Click “Apply” to save the settings and then click “OK.” Back at the Brother Utilities window, click PC-Fax Receive… and then click the Receive icon. For systems without the Brother Utilities application, open the Receive utility from the Start menu. For newer Brother machines, incoming faxes will display in the PC-Fax Receive window. For older models you will need to go to the task bar and display your hidden icons. Then right click on the PC Fax icon and select “View the Faxes.” The Faxes will now be displayed on your computer.
