I have a single land line and want to include a fax machine to share with the phone

I would think this would serve as a splitter and therefore do the trick for you.

I hooked mine up for that purpose, but haven't been able to figure out the fax function on my new printer. So I am not much help.

Thanks to everyone for the help on this. I am going to try the suggestions and see if that works. I'd really like to be able to do an outbound fax anytime and receive a fax by pressing the receive button.I fear that the fax picking up in the middle of the call may be due to using VOIP with Vonage as it will occasionally make a faxish noixe when a second call comes in. Will report back the results -- ping me on this list by adding a reply if I don't (i get an email on each reply).

You have to have phone service of some kind be it VoIP or AT&T; but youHave to have a signal to plug into the fax

You do not need a land line. I dont have one and it works fine. I can even fax by scanning my document and subscribing to a digital fax service.

The device has two-line capability. You can use either one for voice or fax, depending on the service provider you are using. I use VOIPo and am very happy with their service.

Credit card machine I'd say no. Fax, perhaps. But I haven't had luck with fax either. They do have a fax service with Ooma Office which MIGHT be an option. I had it for a while. It worked for a very short time and then stopped.I swapped out my old land line credit card machine for an internet based machine (First Data FD100) and the new machine works GREAT. You might want to try that angle for the credit card machine. It will eliminate the need for another line.

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

Yes, you can use a fax in one of the lines if you have a different one to use as your phone

Fax works fine, it will give you the option to print or not. also works with distinctive ring tone if you have the machine connected to one phone line. Wi-fi work great as well. Excellent value for the price.

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.

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.

If you mean the "Modem" that you use to receive your home phone service on , then yes you can, instead of plugging your phone into the modem, you plug the Brother Fax Machine" into the modem, it works out great because the Brother Fax Machine is also a Phone that can be used as a phone as well as a fax machine and a photo copier. I really like mine and am glad I bought it.

You can send fax by having your phone line plugged in; and going to fax using the touchpad on the device. It does fax pretty easy. My complaint with the machine is that the touchpad does not work good. I often have to touch several times before the machine reacts.

I am able to. I unplug the phone cord from my regular phone and plug it into the fax machine when I want to send a fax. When I'm done, I simply switch the cord back to my phone. I have a HP 1040 Fax machine. I could leave the cord plugged into my fax machine as it has a handset on it, but I prefer to use my regular cordless phone.

No. Nor will it support a fax. My device works well. One issue is voice clarity is not always good.

This was taken from one of it's reviews....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.

Hi Stella, Short answer is "Yes". You will need to purchase a phone jack "Y" connector and enough phone wire to get to your fax machine from the base. The closer the better! Unplug the phone wire going to the Panasonic Base. Plug that phone wire into one of the "Y" inputs. Plug the "Y" connector back into the Panasonic Base. Use the purchased phone wire to come from the other "Y" input into your fax machine and you're good to go. No phone calls while you're using the fax. Steve
