My scanner/printer/fax has software to fax through PC/internet connection. I have no land line phone. By the Epson workforce videos iI believe I don't need to have a landline. I do need a USB that has a place to connect my modem wire from my Epson...

Would not recommend this USB modem, it has no instructions or clues as to how to use it other than it specifically acts as a dial-up modem for Internet access and for fax/data applications via a land telephone line (includes the telephone cord for connecting the same). You said you have a "modem wire" - suggesting you already have a modem and thus no need for an external modem. Maybe you need a USB connector, not a modem? Best to due more research for your specific need.

No. My situation does not call for faxing so I didn't buy it for that. I do really like this printer so far.

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!

Nalini, The Canon FAXPHONE L190 will connect directly to a phone line for faxing. A computer is not needed for the fax function.

The modem connects to a computer. So if the Lexmark can scan, not fax, but do scans like pdf of jpg, then you can take the Lexmark output to the computer somehow, by memory stick-thumb drive or by USB cable, and then use the computer to send the fax via the modem. However the modem software may not be current for Win 7. So check the USR website to see if they have current fax-Modem software for Win 7.

In the software setup it shows how to connect to a computer. If you don't have the software drivers you can download them from the Epson website. You don't need a cable if you connect wirelessly.

all you need is a phone line for faxing, no computer. - if you want to use as printer and/or scan you need to connect to computer.

No, you do not need a landline for this phone. It works via your computer and WIFI router. If you wanted a second line for your home this would also work. This is a Skype phone. We also have Skype on our IPAD so we are able to have visual calls with our grandson. The cost per month is $10.00 regardless of how many domestic or International Calls you place. The sound is very clear.

no. you need an ethernet cable. this is a telephone cable to use in either a telephone or a fax modem (the old kind that no one uses anymore)

Depends. Are you saying of the two physical different land lines, you want one land line to have a phone and a fax on it? If that is the case, then yes, this would work to split the same phone line into two phone jack ports for you to use your fax and phone. If you have two phone numbers (aka 2 land lines), then you wouldn't need this if you're going to use one phone number exclusively for the fax -- just plug that one into the fax and the other phone number (land line) to your phone. I use this to split the same land line for a fax and a phone and it works just fine.

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...

In regards to the first question, yes you can write CDs, and DVDs To fax you need to have your computer connected to a phone line not Internet, I ever used the computer for faxing; but I am sure you need a land line, maybe a fax modem too.

As for a phone line, you do not have to have landline service, but the Actiontec unit does require a phone jack to access your DSL service. The unit does not have to be connected to a computer constantly. You will need to connect to it initially (I believe wired or wirelessly) to set it up, but any tablet, laptop, desktop, etc. should be fine. Hope this helps!

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.

I think it comes with software to do it but I never have used it. There is a hold option on the printer if your looking for it not to print the fax right away. Faxing itself is easy enough with this printer as long as you have an open phone line. Pages go in feeder, dial number and press black or color (doesn't matter unless your sure they have a color fax machine and need it to be)

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.
