does this machine receive faxes

Yes it does. Also sends faxes as well. Just follow guidelines to setting up the fax to send and receive. Will have to follow the instructions or can do it via the printer settings on the printer itself. Need any other info, just let me know..

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.

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

Yes, there is a tray to catch incoming faxes, and it is included with the unit.

This fax machine does not have printing capabilities. It can copy and fax. That's it.

No, as far as I can figure out from the instructions, it doesn't have fax capability. You can scan things in and email them, but I know that's not the same. In terms of the rest of the functions, I absolutely love this printer. It prints great 4 x 6 pictures, makes nice, clear copies, and prints like a regular printer. The ink cartridges seem to last longer than I expect them to, and are easy to change.

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.

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

Did you buy this unit?I'm looking to buy one too. Does the fax software allow you to receice a fax to your computer before printing it?

Yes, it is actually faxed using your email address. You are supposed to get 20 ingoing and 20 outgoing faxs free per month but efax is working with HP, there is a problem. If I paid per month maybe it would work again (worked in 2014)

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.

the problem is when sending a fax from 1 machine the other machine will pick it up and receive the fax instead of the intended recipient. does anyone know if there is perhaps some type of an adapter that would prevent the 2 fax machines from recognizing the other machines "handshake"?

ANswer is no. Wouldn't recommend this machine to anyone and the only reason I bought it was because I needed a fax/answering machine combo....only was I could find. Works okay, but not great........

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.

Hi, We ordered this fax machine for an out of state office, so I haven't, personally, worked with it. That said, it doesn't look like it, according to this: http://reviews.cnet.com/multifunction-devices/hp-fax-2140/4507-3181_7-33687201.html

No. Nor will it support a fax. My device works well. One issue is voice clarity is not always good.

Yes, to receive a fax on first ring or after a few rings. If this is what you mean, it can be used as a dedicated fax machine for a particular phone line. That's the way I use the machine I purchased. Answers after the first ring.

No, it uses a roll of paper that comes with it. Not sure what it's called, but you replace it by calling Panasonic. I only use my fax machine to send out, not to receive. If you expect to receive faxes often, then this may not be for you.
