If you have a mac, it cannot send a fax from your computer. You need to print it out first and then send it. A call to canon support confirmed this today. I have an MX330 and was hoping the newer model MX 340 had this upgrade but no, they are sorry mac users.

Yes. I use both MagicJack and Nettalk (VoIP's) with no problem. Have no land line. Connect a phone line first to the unit, then from the unit's ext. phone slot to your phone. Set up the '340 priority mode as to Telephone, Fax, Both, etc.

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).

Yes you can...just remember that some internet phone companies require you to dial a code before the number. Go to your phone company's site & check for the code....ooma's code is *99.

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...

Website specifies that an Analog phone line is required.... However, if your voip service supports faxing (not all do) it may be possible if you have an analog adapter. (ATA device) The software doesn't allow your computer to send the fax directly through the computer modem.

Ooma will do faxing, but faxing through VOIP can sometimes cause transmission failure. The premium package offered enhanced fax capabilities, but I fax just fine without premium. I personally had to turn off ECC (Error Correction) though.

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 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.

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

Hi CatherineI do have a fax machine hooked up with the phone and have sent out fax by dialing out (both with the phone and from the fax machine directly). I have not had a fax call come in. But I presume that the fax machine will detect and respond to the call and cut the phone out. Does it help?

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

You only need the phone line for the fax, so if you don't need it then there is no problem. We don't have a phone line attached to it.

I found this link form Magicjack support, which says you can fax but you have to deal with your computer and router firewalls. I would add that contrary to marketing hype, there are many U.S. numbers you can't call without buying minutes. I have to use my cell phone to call my kids school, teleconference lines, etc. If the fax you want to send to is part of an office system Magicjack might not let your call through. http://www.magicjacksupport.com/magic-jack-fax-you-can-do-it-t10706.html

Hello, yes this does require a phone line hooked up to it to use the fax functions. If you don't want to invest in a perm line I use vonyage. Hope that helps. Also works well on windows 8.1 Pro.

Arthur, I have my Pixma's telephone line on a splitter, a DSL line. One line to modem, another to MP830. (Base phone and answering machine is in another room; can't connect to printer) Receive Mode is set to Manual RX. But every time I call my number from my cell phone (still in testing mode!) the fax answers after a couple of rings. Can't talk. So I'm leaving it disconnected until we can figure out the setting. Any ideas?

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.

No, it won't work w/ DSL. It is an analogue modem works on traditional phone line. For Internet Phone, pls consult with your service provider. The modem is tested w/ Google Voice w/ no problem to send and receive faxes. Wireless Fax Machine is not been tested and why does it need to use a modem if it already has a modem built-in since it is a fax machine. Pls provide more information for the application and how you plan to use it with a Wireless Fax Machine.

There is no possibility of using fax with VOIP. Not now, not in the future. There's an internet article about this somewhere that I'm too lazy to look up.

You can't receive a voice call and a fax at the same time. I have two lines, one for faxes and for calls from family and friends, the other with a published number, for business etc. I leave the fax machine turned off except when I'm expecting a fax. The answering machine message on the fax line starts with "if you are trying to send a fax, call the main number first and we will turn the fax on...".
