I only ever used it with my ink jet printer. It worked great with that, though.

Yes, you need some kind of analog phone service to send faxes. You also need a computer, but I am guessing you know that.

I have an HP Envy Notebook wiyh Windows 8 Pro and I can send and receive faxes just fine with this modem. Therefore, it should work fine for your application as well.

yes but it will interrupt the fax transmission. I'm not sure how you are using the modem. It connects to the computer and then the wall. The fax and/or phone are connected via a splitter from the wall jack. But regardless it will disconnect when a fax or a call comes in.

Yes, I use the modem with Windows Fax and Scan and it can be configured to only answer as a fax when you tell it to. When the computer is on and the phone rings a little box appears on the computer screen asking if you want to answer as a fax.

You don,t need to connect to the internet to send and receive faxes. It,s been a while since i used mine but l am sure i did not need to configure anything. Hope this helps .

It would depend. If you are asking if you can connect to a FAX line, yes they are just telephone lines typically. If you want both the FAX and the Base connected, I would get a splitter that turns one jack into two telephone jacks, and plug the FAX into one side and the phone into the other. Some research needs to be done to see how to set the FAX and phone to share the line. Many FAX machines or phones can be set to determine what type of call is incoming.

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.

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...

Yes, you connect it to the house line. You might need to configure the program that you use, such as your fax software, to make sure it it pointing to the modem. Windows Uodate should automatically download and install the necessary driver. If it doesn't, try connecting the modem to a different USB port.

I use a Brother MFC-7440N device and I am able to receive faxes through the OBi202 device using Google Voice.

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.

Yes will probably work with a fax. I tryed to run a phone off of it and could not get a clear connection.

Yes, this is for dial up. Any time I need to send a fax I just connect it to phone line and then the usb side to your computer and you can send a fax even with the default windows fax program by filling in the sender's phone number!!! I haven't tried to receive anything yet but I believe it will work.

My phone - land line- comes through straight talk wireless. No connection to telephone lines. Does anyone know if this printer will send faxes?

The product description says: "Great for sharing a printer, scanner, or other USB device between two computers (one computer has access at a time)." I'm guessing you select the printer function at the printer. Receiving and sending faxes is a separate function that uses the phone line. So, it's likely that you'd send the fax page just completed to the printer via the switch, then fax it using the printer-to-phoneline connection. If you control all the printer functions from you computer, chances are the switch will work. At $14.99 a pop, it's worth giving it a try.
