the drum is for printing, so yes you can scan and send a fax without it

Maby, maby not. Try it to find out.

I assume you mean it is out of ink – or similar – Then you can still send but no incoming will be printed

Faxing directly from a pc using a Brother MFC5440CN unit?

Ask by Ran C: Faxing directly from a pc using a Brother MFC5440CN unit?
Hi,
I own a pc and a Brother integrated printer-fax-scanner MFC5440CN.
The Brother provided software doesn’t show an option of sending a fax directly from my pc. This is a significant disadvantage, since I must first print any document I plan to fax, and only as a second step fax it.
Do you know a way I can add direct faxing to my Brother unit?
Ran
I read the suggestion to add faxing capabilities to my xp pro system and followed the instruction.
Here’re my comments:
1. Adding this option requires mounting the xp installation disk (which I did)
2. Another requirement for this option to work is the availability of a modem. I’m connected to the web by DSL and manage without a modem. Therefore, I failed to implemet the suggestion.
3. I did learn however a point, which led me to a solution. Printing a document, allows the choice of a printer. Brother MFC-5440CN includes a printer called “Brother PC-Fax”. When I choose this printer, I’m ofered a dialer, which uses a DSL connection, and provides a direct faxing capabilities to my system.

If you are running Windows XP you can fax directly from your PC by adding it to printers and faxes. Open Printers and Faxes and click on Set up faxing. Follow the steps in the wizard and when you are finished make sure you right click on your Brother and make it the default printer. Now when you want to fax a document you can click on File and print within the program with the document and drop down the printer menu and select fax. I hope this helps.

Question by ahottmess: What does a drum unit do in a fax machine?
I just replaced the toner in my fax but the print out is still very light. Would the drum unit cause this?
Answer:
Answer by wires
The drum in what puts the image on the paper. It shouldn’t affect how dark the fax prints. There’s usually an adjustment for contrast or how dark the fax prints. See if that will correct the problem. If not you’ll have to call a service shop.
