Automatically Forwarding Received Faxes to a Computer

You can automatically forward faxes from your machine to a computer.
Benefits of Forwarding to a Computer
By digitizing your documents, you can reduce the space required to store documents, improve search performance, and promote the productive reuse of your documents.
Junk faxes can be viewed and erased on the computer, enabling you to save on machine-related paper, toner, and maintenance costs.
You can check faxes without leaving your desk.
Required Condition
Network settings are set.
You are logged in as the administrator.
This section describes how to set conditions to automatically forward faxes received from Company A to a shared folder accessible by employee B, and forward all faxes received from unspecified destinations to the Administration Division computer.
The screens may differ, depending on the model of the machine and on attached optional products.
