My old HP 3015 laserjet does this. You put in your document, punch in the first fax number, press enter; punch in the next number, press enter, and so on for each fax number. After you have entered the last fax number, you press the fax button. I would imagine that other models of HP all-in-ones offer the same function.

I do not believe it is capable of that; but if you split the phone line with a two-way splitter BEFORE this and run one split to this dongle and the other split to your FAX then it should work fine. http://www.amazon.com/26191-Duplex-Adapter-White-4-Conductor/dp/B0000AHO92/

Sorry but I've never tried to use duplex printing so I cann ot be of any assistance. However, I've always found the Brother tech support staff to be responsive and helpful. I suggest that you visit the Brother web site and use their support link to ask your question.

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.

No fax capability. All-in-one means print, scan, copy, photo print in this case.

NO answer devise in this machine. It will not interfere with an other answer machine ifthey are hooked up and set properly. I bought the fax to sent faxes only, receiving only if I know one is being sent. Sam

Shortly after I posted my reply, I found that I was better off in Fax Priority mode, which is how the printer is currently set. I went into the RX settings and I set the incoming ring to 30, which is the maximum. I still have the DEFAULT ACTION set to disconnect, MANUAL AUTO SWITCH is set to OFF. With these settings the fax does not pick up. The only thing I don't like is the fax does not automatically pick up. If I am receiving a fax, I have to press the start button on the fax machine if I hear a fax tone. It's not the best setup in the world, but as I got the machine on sale for $130.00 USD, I guess I really can't complain. Try what I mentioned and see if that works for you.

we do not have any trouble sending multiple pages, whether sheets put in at once, or one at a time before the first sheet is fully scanned. I would check the manual make sure all is clean. Our first machine at 18 months old died mainly due to not proper maitenance. IF your machine is under a year old, a Brother representative can be very helpful over the phone.

Thanks, Michele. I'm surprised, too by your comments about the colours. After being advised that the cartridges for the MX860 were very expensive and that the MX850 had problems connecting wirelessly, I ended up buying an Epson TX800FW. The few photos I've printed look ok to me. (I'm not a pro). It's been great to have a fax. One if its drawbacks is only one full-sized paper tray. I've yet to fully test out the machine.

It does multi-page scanning, but I haven't figured out how to get the multiple pages into one document. I don't use the fax, but I tried it out, and it works fine.

Yes, on both. I have had no problem faxing from it, or make copies with the document feeder or manually.

Fax and voice calls on a single line. This feature saves the expense of separate phone lines for fax and voice calls. A built-in interface even lets you connect an external answering machine. THIS review by someone else: I also use this line with receiving phone messages and this machine is smart enough to know which is which. Highly recommend it.

no you connect one and all of them will have a dial tone, can only be used for 1 line

I have a separate answering machine that I use that's on the same phone number line as the fax machine. I usually have the fax set to Telephone mode (meaning I have to change the mode for me to receive a fax). But, I seem to recall setting the number of rings on my separate answering machine to more rings than the number of rings on the fax machine, so the separate answering machine can pick up the messages.

You just need to disconnect your phone line when you are faxing and than when done replug your phone line back in. That is if you are using only one phone #. You will need to do the same if someone is faxing in, a little pain with only one phone # but saves about $30 a month not having two phone #'s.

Well, I don't work for brother company, so I can not say with absolute certainty about this feature, but what our business is currently doing with this is if for example if person 1 calls our fax machine and the phone line is being used at the time, then if person 2 calls our fax line the line will show as busy and we use a separate service called efax.com and set our phone service if the line is busy it will automatically forward to another phone number (the efax phone number), just to ensure we receive all faxes from our clients. I'm unsure if this answers your question, but let me know if this helps.

My parents just bought this printer, but haven't installed it yet. Is this fax still free? The review comment state conflicting statements about that.Also, if it's only for sending 20, and receiving 20 faxes per month. Does that count all the spam faxes? I have an old free account with efax, and am always getting spam/scammer efax's. I don't even view them anymore because of it.
