How do I disable incoming faxes? I only have one line and would like to leave the telephone cable connected. We usually only send faxes.

I actually gave this printer a very poor rating, but Amazon had sent me the incorrect (but similar model). They made good on it for me. I don't see an easy way for you to accomplish what you want to do. Two suggestions: 1. Disconnect the phone line from the printer and only reconnect it when you want to send a fax. 2. If your phone is connected to the printer, install an inexpensive phone line splitter. Connect the input jack to the phone line; then connect one output jack directly to your phone and the other to your printer which would be removed as in 1. above.

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

I brought it home once and sent a fax from my home. Then I took it back to my store where I use it for a phone and fax. I don't know if it has a setting for fax only.

Old thread, but found this suggestion. It requires you have a *long* telephone line: "try plugging that line cord into the "Telephone" jack on the old machine. That is, there will be a single line cord from the wall jack to the "Line" jack on the old (receiving) fax machine, and a long line cord from the "Telephone" jack of the old machine to the "Line" jack of the new machine."

I haven't seen a fax machine that could not receive a fax. I think, for the price, this machine is a good buy. What you could do is turn it off when you didn't need to use it. I have had a fax for years and I can't think of a time that I received a fax that I didn't know was coming. When setting up you could leave the fax and telephone number sections blank. That should work as well.

You can send fax by having your phone line plugged in; and going to fax using the touchpad on the device. It does fax pretty easy. My complaint with the machine is that the touchpad does not work good. I often have to touch several times before the machine reacts.

I have been told that you can send and receive faxes, but I have no first-hand experience doing it. I purchased the unit to connect my Dish receiver up to my telephone line. That operation works quite well, so it would seem that faxes would also.

Further to the last response, you have to have a "land line" for the modem to work. If you want to send faxes long distance, you have to have long distance available from your provider and set the pre-dial number (i.e. 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx) or whatever its called. The system does work. Dave

There is nothing in the Owner's Manual regarding sending a fax via your computer. It does do an awesome job of sending multi-page faxes very quickly!! I typically send 26 to 30 pages with no problem! I have really enjoyed having this piece of office equipment as it takes the work out of sending a fax.

It does need a dedicated phone line. The way around it is to use one of those little splitters. Plug it into your phone jack, then use one for the phone line, another one for the faxes.Or you can install an extra phone jack next to the existing one (if you know how).

Sorry I can not help you. I am not set up to use my printer for faxing. And I do not plan to do that.

NO answer devise in this machine. It will not interfere with an other answer machine ifthey are hooked up and set properly. I bought the fax to sent faxes only, receiving only if I know one is being sent. Sam

You don't have to just disconnect your phone line. The problem occurs when you have the phone line in the wrong port. I had my phone and fax lines in the wrong ports. I switched them, and the clicking went away and everything works fine now.

Hi Catherine I do have a fax machine hooked up with the phone and have sent out fax by dialing out (both with the phone and from the fax machine directly). I have not had a fax call come in. But I presume that the fax machine will detect and respond to the call and cut the phone out. Does it help?

If you install all the software that it comes with, you can download the faxes as PDFs or as image files to your PC and delete the bogus ones, then print the ones you want. Or, you can save them to the computer without ever printing. This is how we use the device, so all the ads don't eat our paper.

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.

Can you be just a bit more specific? This device is a modem... and requires dial tone to operate... connecting it directly to the fax's line port will not provide dial tone, and thus will not operate the fax. doesn't the fax have a usb port to connect to your computer with via a usb cable? You need a telephone line connected directly to the fax on it's line port. let me know if this answers your question...
