Have you been able to set-up the distinctive ring fax feature?

I was not able to shut off the fax ring via the machine. I made my own phone switch to disconnect the phonline when FAX is not needed.

When you set it up you do it via the menu on the hand set. It gives you several options for the number of rings.

Can't answer either question. I occasionally send and receive faxes, so far has worked fine no issues. Getting to be an obsolete communication method.

yes or you can put setting on fax to tel/fax and you can recive faxes and your personal calls.

Fax works fine, it will give you the option to print or not. also works with distinctive ring tone if you have the machine connected to one phone line. Wi-fi work great as well. Excellent value for the price.

Thanks to everyone for the help on this. I am going to try the suggestions and see if that works. I'd really like to be able to do an outbound fax anytime and receive a fax by pressing the receive button.I fear that the fax picking up in the middle of the call may be due to using VOIP with Vonage as it will occasionally make a faxish noixe when a second call comes in. Will report back the results -- ping me on this list by adding a reply if I don't (i get an email on each reply).

No, This is a basic phone and most modern computers have a fax program built in for faxing internal data.Hope this helps you.

Well, you set it up from the printers control panel. Just touch the "eFax" button.

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.

I honestly can't answer the question. My intentions to have faxes forwarded to my email did not happen and my lack of knowledge was the problem. I gave up on trying and went back to my Brother multifunction machine. The Panasonic sits on a shelf awaiting the day I attempt to conquer it. Sorry for no better answer. I do know Brother has an app (iprint&scan;) which I have used from my smartphone and it works well.

Mine did not come with built in fax capability. Personally, I use the wifi function, but there is a port for a phone line on the back of this machine.

No it can not fax. The Bluetooth module is an add on. I've never used it since the wireless works fine.

No, the fax works like an incoming call. It is a very good machine that covers all bases. We are the owners of a small business and this is perfect for us!

NO. Suggest you go to Panasonic.com/help We are satisfied with fax, but it has minimal use at our home.

YES! In fact it is my favorite part of this machine. You plug in a phone line and tell it to share the line. There is no separate line needed. The phone rings to receive calls and when a fax comes in the phone rings and the printer turns on and receives the fax. So much easier than other machines I have used. Faxing is just as easy. Put it in the scanner. Select fax function, put in your number and press OK. All done.
