Will the MFC-9340CDW work with no telephone line connected?The installation instructions say that it needs to be.I don't need FAX, so I have no phone line for it.

You only need the phone line for the fax, so if you don't need it then there is no problem. We don't have a phone line attached to it.

I do not use the fax option either, but I have a dedicated phone line and the machine is connected to it. Why don't you call Brother directly? I found them very helpful with another set up question.

Yes, I have my phone line unplugged a majority of the time. I only have the phone line connected when I need the fax.

You do not need a land line. I dont have one and it works fine. I can even fax by scanning my document and subscribing to a digital fax service.

We do not have our printer connected to the telephone line and we are able to do all other functions (copy, scan, print). We just don't use the FAX. Phone line does not seem to be needed.

I do not have a phone line connected to the printer... the printer works perfectly.

If you are not using the fax you do not need to hook up the phone line. All other features will work fine.

Not for the basic system. You only need a phone line if you want to use the system to call you or someone else should a break in occur.

First, do you have telephone service through the internet? If so, you don't need to connect to a modem, just connect to a phone line that your base unit is connected to. If you plan to use another type of internet phone system then you would have to read their instructions for connections. This unit is made to connect to standard phone lines. If they are connected to the internet then they will work just as the base unit.

I know of no reason why it shouldn't work with a fax machine, just like I don't know why it didn't work for me in my attempt to connect my satellite receiver to my phone line. It just didn't, so I can't recommend this product for any use other than paper weight.

Yes, you need some kind of analog phone service to send faxes. You also need a computer, but I am guessing you know that.

CS6649-2 is a one line phone system. Unless you require a dedicated phone line for fax only, you do not necessarily need 2 different lines to integrate a phone and fax device.

My phone - land line- comes through straight talk wireless. No connection to telephone lines. Does anyone know if this printer will send faxes?

I don't use this modem for fax purpose. These days you don't need modem to send/receive faxes. There are plenty of services that do it via email.

No this phone does not require a telephone system or internet. You plug it into a standard phone line just like you would any other land phone.

As for a phone line, you do not have to have landline service, but the Actiontec unit does require a phone jack to access your DSL service. The unit does not have to be connected to a computer constantly. You will need to connect to it initially (I believe wired or wirelessly) to set it up, but any tablet, laptop, desktop, etc. should be fine. Hope this helps!

Our fax is a Brother 2800 and works fine with the drum unit we received.....don't know what MFC is.

It needs to be connected only to a telephone line. No connection to the Internet required.

It does not need a phone line. It needs an Ethernet connection to your modem or router.

Yes you need a phone line to set it up. You don't need a computer to hook it up as it has an inbuilt wireless router.

Would not recommend this USB modem, it has no instructions or clues as to how to use it other than it specifically acts as a dial-up modem for Internet access and for fax/data applications via a land telephone line (includes the telephone cord for connecting the same). You said you have a "modem wire" - suggesting you already have a modem and thus no need for an external modem. Maybe you need a USB connector, not a modem? Best to due more research for your specific need.

The back of the printer has a port for a standard phone/fax line, which is supplied with the printer. THis fax line has only two contacts instead of the stardard 4 that most phone lines have. Connect this to the proper port and run the fax setup program from the touch panal on the printer. If this is a dedicated and separate line you should be good. If it a shared line with distinctive ring you will need to set the number of rings before the fax comes through. This may take some playing with to get it right. Follow the instructions in the setup program. Good luck. Printer works great in all functions.
