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.

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

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

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.

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.

If you have the modem connected to a phone line, it should work if you follow the instructions for connection and setup. I have this modem as a backup and it works great for me but I have not used it for faxing as I have a dedicated fax. Alternatively, you could call (toll free) or e-mail USRobotics and speak with one of their pre-sales or technical support technicians; and if your questions are answered satisfactorily about the modem, you could then order the modem from your vendor of choice. Good luck!

Old thread, but found this suggestion. It requires you have a *long* telephone line: "try plugging that line cord into the "Telephone" jack on the old machine. That is, there will be a single line cord from the wall jack to the "Line" jack on the old (receiving) fax machine, and a long line cord from the "Telephone" jack of the old machine to the "Line" jack of the new machine."

sorry - can't answer this question. I only used the modem for internet connection - not faxes.

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

You can use it for a fax. Add a dedicated line to the ooma office, hook it up through an Ooma Linx. Make sure that particular line is set as a fax.

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.

No, because it is a fax machine. I mean, a regular fax that needs a land line for the fax to work.

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...

No, I am afraid not. I had to get a land line. I have not heard of any fax machines that you can use with a cell phone. For what it's worth, this is a good little fax machine. If you have internet and cable with the same company, you can usually a phone for about $9.00 extra per month. Good luck.

sorry, I haven't set up the fax part yet. I have a fax machine, so haven't bothered with this part of the Brother, though I really like this machine.

Hello niki deen: The only phone line you need to connect incoming house ( Lan line) to printer only. Faxes can be transmitted to printer wirelessly. No need to connect phone lines to computers ounce you have set up the printer wireless. You are lucky because the new printers make you pay for faxes sent and rececieved. I do not know how it works receiving faxes though from other places. I think you need to have a fax line number for that. It cost money. You can send out free faxes no problem. That is how I use my printer when sending faxes. Almost all places now use regular e-mails now. Fax machines are becomming a thing of the pass. It is nice to have one when you need it to send out a fax. Hello niki deen: The only phone line you need to connect incoming house ( Lan line) to printer only.
