Receive faxes to your computer (Fax to PC and Fax to Mac)

Use Fax to PC and Fax to Mac to automatically receive faxes and save faxes directly to
your computer. With Fax to PC and Fax to Mac, you can store digital copies of your faxes
easily and also eliminate the hassle of dealing with bulky paper files.
Received faxes are saved as TIFF (Tagged Image File Format). Once the fax is received,
you get an on-screen notification with a link to the folder where the fax is saved.
The files are named in the following method: XXXX_YYYYYYYY_ZZZZZZ.tif, where X is
the sender's information, Y is the date, and Z is the time that the fax was received.

NOTE: Fax to PC and Fax to Mac are available for receiving black-and-white faxes
only. Color faxes are printed instead of being saved to the computer.
