Does this computer come with a built in fax capability? Where do you plug in the telephone cable?

No. You would need to add a fax card. Which is very cheap to add. But if you will be using a multi-function printer like a Epson WP-4530 or similar, they all have a fax built in to their printer/scanner/fax, so you can route the fax thru the printer/scanner/fax which has wi-fi capability and the Envy also connects with the printer via the Envys' built in wi-fi. So you really would not even need to add a fax card as you probably will need a printer/scanner which has the fax built in.

Hey PrimePete - This PC does not have a fax modem card but is something that could be added pretty easily and with very little additional cost.

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, but you can use an external answering machine with this fax. Whether these external answering machines are still available these days I don't know.

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.

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.

Yes. I never used the phone on ours either. Be aware that the machine uses something similar to a typewriter ribbon that is the size of paper and if you receive a ton of faxes that ribbon will not last long. Ours has quit because of a lightening strike so be sure to plug into a surge protected plug :) Hope this helps :)

Yes. This is a modem for dialup internet service connection to computer. Faxing is controlled by computer via modem to internet.

Sorry that I can't help you; I don't need a fax so I didn't set it up. We have 3 laptops & a Kindle that all work wirelessly with the printer.

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.

No fax capability. All-in-one means print, scan, copy, photo print in this case.

Yes I am able to fax from my computer as well as receive faxes from other fax senders. Have tried other usb fax plug-in (from walk in store) but only this particular US Robotics model is consistently able to hang up at the end of all transmissions.

I have everything on the phone line. I have a 3-way splitter with the phone, fax/printer/2620 and the computer. It is on Cableone, and works great.

There is nothing in the documentation that indicates this possibility. It does say that the software that drives the fax modem system is computer based.

You will need a phone line input in order to use the FAX function. The line can be shared for sending with your home line. Receiving on a shared line is more difficult. There are services on the internet that you can use your PC TO send and receive Fax messages they give you a separate phone number for this. Monthly charges come with this.

Do not know, but do know that it is a fax machine, as well as a copying machine; neither of which I have attempted to use! Otherwise, no problem w/ my new printer!

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!
