I have a samsung clx3160fn which actually has the capability to receive faxes as well as send them. I want to know is there a way to get the received fax in the PC instead of printing it out. Any help will be appriciated. Thanks.
Thanks Vince, I solved the issue and you are 100% right. From the web based module you can set it up. though you need to know your SMTP settings for that. I configured it and its working the way I wanted it to work. Appriciate your help.
These do have the option of emailing you a received fax. I use this feature myself so I can get my faxes even if out of the office. if you go to the web interface you can set this up. you will need to know the email settings for your email account such as the SMTP server...
No the fax machine is designed to print any recieved faxes as it recieves them.
it will not save faxes to computer instead of printing them out
You may need to prevent your received faxes from being accessed by unauthorized people. You can turn on secure receiving mode to restrict printing of received faxes when the machine is unattended. In secure receiving mode, all incoming faxes go into memory. When the mode is deactivated, any stored faxes are printed.
Press (Fax) on the control panel.
Press Menu until Advanced Fax appear.
Press the left/right arrow until Secure Receive appear and press OK.
Press the left/right arrow until On appear and press OK.
Enter a four-digit password you want to use and press OK.
You can activate secure receiving mode without setting a password, but cannot protect your faxes.
Re-enter the password to confirm it and press OK.
Press Stop/Clear to return to ready mode.
When a fax is received in secure receiving mode, your machine stores it in memory and shows Secure Receive to let you know that there is a fax received.
Printing received faxes
Access the Secure Receive menu by following steps 1 through 3 in "Activating secure receiving mode."
Press the left/right arrow until Print appear and press OK.
Enter the four-digit password and press OK.
The machine prints all of the faxes stored in memory.

Faxes machines are capable sending and receiving data documents. First the sender sends to another machine details providing the return addresses. Requetsing the receive to reply the to the fax also requires providing fax numbers.
