You can use this as a printer directly connected to your PC using Parallel or USB cables and downloading the drivers from http://welcome.solutions.brother.com...=fax4750 e_us That would be much simpler than sending a FAX to it, and the formatting of the document would be better. However if you do want to do it by sending a FAX that is also possible but you would need to make sure that your FAX has access to the telephone line while the PC is on line, no problem if you are on broadband but an issue if your PC is on dial-up using the same telephone line as the FAX. Not sure you would want to do it this way though. Tony MS MVP Printing/Imaging |

I have set up several Brother FAX's as PC printers in Windows XP but not yet in Vista, I see no reason why it wouldn't work provided Brother have written the drivers well. I haven't seen any bad drivers from Brother in recent times however. If you go to the web site I posted, just select the appropriate options and you will be directed to the correct driver for your printer/FAX. Good luck. Tony MS MVP Printing/Imaging |
