Title:

How do I configure fax forward to e-mail?

    3. Press 5 (User Settings or System Setup).

  2. 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.
  3. 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:

    Note

    Currently the Brother machine does not support SMTP servers that require password authentication to send e-mails.

  13. 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.
  14. Click SUBMIT at the bottom of the page and the settings will be saved.

The Brother machine is now configured to forwarded faxes to an e-mail address.
