can it send faxes over the internet? can it send faxes over the internet or does it need a regular phone line?

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).

I have been able to fax using a Magic Jack connected to the machine, as long as I was only sending or receiving 1 or 2 pages at a time. 3 pages and up seem to fail. There are tweaks on line to allow the user to set the router for magic jack for faxing. I have not tried them.

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...

You can fax from this unit (you only need to plug it into a phone cord); however, this would be one of the worst things you could do. Why? Doing so would mean that you've actually purchased this printer. If you send me $300, I'd be happy to burn it for you - you'll be much more satisfied with the result.

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.

The handset has no intrinsic ability with respect to faxing. You can send faxes over the Ooma internet line but the process is MUCH slower and the quality is often degraded. You can receive faxes as well with the same limitations

sorry - can't answer this question. I only used the modem for internet connection - not faxes.

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.

This model is a 2 line system and to use a fax just connect the fax to one of the lines wall jacks and have the fax answer on a shorter ring. For example we have the fax answering on line 2 with 1 ring. With the phone we basically just use line 2 for calling out when line 1 is in use. We also have our credit card machine on line 2 and everything works with no problems. Great little phone system, very happy with it.

I fax with it all the time. Your biggest issue is going to be internet connection quality. If you have cable should be fine, radio internet, DSL, or shared connections, all bets are off.

You can always plug multiple items on one phone line. You can only use one at once. If you receive faxes, you just need to make sure only one is in answer mode.

I use mine to connect to equipment modems at remote sites. Works great for that, and expect it would both send and receive faxes just fine. It's a generic modem - as long as it successfully installs on your PC/laptop/etc., what specific application you use it for isn't critical.

In my home office I have two phone lines. One phone line is dedicated to DSL, which requires filters. The filter may cause a conflict with sending and receiving information over the fax machine. My fax is connected to the phone line without the DSL. I recommend calling your DSL service provider. Technology changes so quickly that they may have a solution.

Yes, it will send and receive faxes by phone line and yes it has E-Print enabled printing services (wireless).

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.

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.

It would depend. If you are asking if you can connect to a FAX line, yes they are just telephone lines typically. If you want both the FAX and the Base connected, I would get a splitter that turns one jack into two telephone jacks, and plug the FAX into one side and the phone into the other. Some research needs to be done to see how to set the FAX and phone to share the line. Many FAX machines or phones can be set to determine what type of call is incoming.
