Yes, if you can get it to FAX anything, you can FAX a PDF. However, I can't get my Windows 7 machine to use this modem, at all.

e-fax via VOIP but other printers have this capability. This printer turned into a $150 paper weight in only 6 months times. It jammed constantly and went thru printer cartridges faster than I could buy them.

The Sewell voice/fax USB modem SW-29644 works independently from cable modems. They don't interact, so they will work fine together.

Download the Lexmark software COMPLETE software package if you haven't already and install it. You MUST have a analog phone line available, VOIP (like Vonage) will NOT work unless the VOIP provider states their adapter will work. Plug a standard phone line into the phone jack of the printer. At the front of the printer, select FAX, making sure you have the document properly loaded; then okay. I will be honest, I did not keep this printer as I had issues with the FAX function. I bought a competitor that worked flawlessly using the same phone lines.

I have Windows 7 32-bit and can send faxes. I did go to a third party site www.rtopro.com/videohirovist.htm for instructions and a possible download. That was a while ago so don't know if it is still a viable site.

Hmm. I was wondering what you meant so I went in to print an invoice PDF. I couldn't even get that far. Mine has an error message that says the printer is not activated (error -30). Worked on that for a bit through my printers but never did get it working. Luckily anymore I send invoices by email but I would like the option, for those oldtimers, to be able to save to PDF then fax from my computer. Saves paper!

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...

I have not connected a fax to any of my lines, but it should work fine as long as your internet connection is solid to maintain the phone connection. As far as a router is concerned, that depends on the router. It needs to support the protocols required by the telephone adapter.

First to answer your question about this printer. No it will not do that. You do not need a computer to do what you want. There are online services that will send faxes via email. There's a small fee but cheaper than a printer/fax.

all you need is a phone line for faxing, no computer. - if you want to use as printer and/or scan you need to connect to computer.

I don't think it would work the way your planning to use it.. It says you can use to fax/data applications via a land telephone line.but I couldn't get this to work on laptop.. Would not read it or install drivers for it to work with Win7 64 bit.

Yes. Just make sure you get a splitter if you have it on a fax/computer line.

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.

I think it comes with software to do it but I never have used it. There is a hold option on the printer if your looking for it not to print the fax right away. Faxing itself is easy enough with this printer as long as you have an open phone line. Pages go in feeder, dial number and press black or color (doesn't matter unless your sure they have a color fax machine and need it to be)

To use the fax feature you have to make sure the printer is hooked up to a dedicated telephone landline. Fax does not work over the wifi feature.
