Windows 10: How do I set up my computer windows 10 to send and receive faxes with Brother MFC-7860DW?

How do I set up my computer windows 10 to send and receive faxes with Brother MFC-7860DW?

:)

 

Unable to receive faxes in Windows 10.

I bought a new computer with Windows 10 a few months ago and while I can send faxes, I have been unable to receive them ever since. My two or three year old machine is a Brother MFC 7860DW.

 

Printer Status is OFLINE Brother MFC 7860DW

My printer status keeps "defaulting" to OFFLINE. I have searched several threads and there are none that I could see that deal with Windows 10 Pro. In many of the threads there seems to some real dissatisfaction that the solutions offered are too complicated
for the average user to implement, I count myself in their company.

So, I appeal to the community for a solution to this problem. I use Windows 10 pro, the printer is a Brother MFC 7860DW.

Much appreciated

 

Brother MFC-250C Send Fax from the software simply fails to dial.

Brother MFC-250C with latest software and drivers works on WIN 7.

Everything works also on WIN 10 except for Send Fax from the software

PC-FAX v.2.1 which at the end simply fails to dial.

Scan and sending fax direct from the machine works.

Has to be WIN 10?
