Yes. I used this exclusively for faxing with my Epson all in one printer/fax.

Frankly, it doesn't work too well in transmitting digital information. I tried to use it with a Tivo and it was terrible. A fax may be better, but I doubt it.

I couldn't get it to work with a modem, something about the frequency difference, but I haven't tried it with a fax so I don't know for sure.

I probably should. I never used mine really cause I was using it for a phone and it came threw scratchy, most likely due to all the dimmers in my home.

Fax and voice calls on a single line. This feature saves the expense of separate phone lines for fax and voice calls. A built-in interface even lets you connect an external answering machine. THIS review by someone else: I also use this line with receiving phone messages and this machine is smart enough to know which is which. Highly recommend it.

yes, i use an older fax with a handset and it works just the same as it did when I had a regular phone. Just make sure you have it plugged in to the magicjack.

I use this as an external fax modem for the Windows fax software on a Dell desktop running Windows 7. It works just fine for a small office that sends/receives faxes about 5x a week. I have a dedicated fax line, so I can't speak to having one telephone line/AT&T; high speed internet. I would assume as long as the modem gets a dial tone from the phone line, it will work.

Hello, yes this does require a phone line hooked up to it to use the fax functions. If you don't want to invest in a perm line I use vonyage. Hope that helps. Also works well on windows 8.1 Pro.

We've been using it with a fax machine that's not crucial for a month with no problem. If your use is crucial, I would think about it, since their customer service is only available via chat. I needed to use their cust svc, and didn't have an issue, but I've read some nightmare stories from others. Good luck!

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've used mine a few times with my fax machine and it usually works. You just want to use uncompressed codecs in the settings and you should be fine. It's a very good adapter. Been using mine for a year now and no complaints.

to make faxes you only need one dedicated phone line.. I plug my phone line in the printer going in and the phone line going out these are on the rear of the printer .. I fax with mine all the time..

Yes, absolutely, this model does have fax capability. I've used it to fax several times over the years. I'm so thrilled with this device that when it finally wore out, I bought the exact same model.

So far I have used mine only to send faxes, using my home phone. I believe there is a setting so that you can set it to use as a phone or as a fax or both. I am sure you don't have to have a separate number. It gets confusing if you receive a lot of faxes and have to change it back and forth.

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...

Yes it can be set to fax only. It has 3 settings available: phone with manual faxreceipt, fax only, and phone and fax which is the best setting. and answer machine

Credit card machine I'd say no. Fax, perhaps. But I haven't had luck with fax either. They do have a fax service with Ooma Office which MIGHT be an option. I had it for a while. It worked for a very short time and then stopped.I swapped out my old land line credit card machine for an internet based machine (First Data FD100) and the new machine works GREAT. You might want to try that angle for the credit card machine. It will eliminate the need for another line.

I don't think it has to have a dedicated fax line. Mine is hooked up to one, but I believe you have a choice. This is a great machine. Very simple to use does a great job, and does not take up a lot of room.

If you have the modem connected to a phone line, it should work if you follow the instructions for connection and setup. I have this modem as a backup and it works great for me but I have not used it for faxing as I have a dedicated fax. Alternatively, you could call (toll free) or e-mail USRobotics and speak with one of their pre-sales or technical support technicians; and if your questions are answered satisfactorily about the modem, you could then order the modem from your vendor of choice. Good luck!
