The answer machine is what enables the fax machine to work. The telephone rings, the answer machine picks it up and automatically transfers the call to the fax if that's what's needed. The fax machine on the other end (sender) "talks" to your answer machine and it then determines the fax is coming in...

Make sure the phone line coming from your house is connected directly into the fax machine, then connect the fax machine phone line to your answering machine. In addition you have to set up your fax maching to answer faxes on the forth ring and set you answering machine to answer calls on the third ring (less rings than your fax machine). Lastly, set the fax maching to "TAD" (telephone & answering device) located on the top right of the fax machine. This button can accidently be bumped. Check if it is still on "TAD".

If you have an answering machine or answering service on your line you have to make sure the ring cycle is set on a higher ring cycle than your fax. For example if your answering machine or service is set at three rings and your fax is set at four.. it will always divert to the lesser ring. So therefore it will first go to the answering device. If that is not the case, then it may be something as simple as to make sure when you power on, the machine is not set on the "copy" mode. Scroll down to the second option for fax. I hope this helps you.

You will need a phone line input in order to use the FAX function. The line can be shared for sending with your home line. Receiving on a shared line is more difficult. There are services on the internet that you can use your PC TO send and receive Fax messages they give you a separate phone number for this. Monthly charges come with this.

You can but it would be very inconvenient. You have to go through the set up process each time which takes quite a while (how many rings, input your own fax number into machine, etc). I would not want to do it that way.

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)

Yes, it can send and receive faxes, tho I only use it to send. I'm on my second MP830, the first one worked perfectly for 6 yrs, until a rubber band popped into the feed mechanism, unbeknownst.

Dear Catherine, I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no idea. I purchased the machine exclusively to send FAX's. However, in the user guide I found this "If you select Fax Storage, your fax machine stores the received fax in the memory. You will be able to retrieve fax messages from another location using the Remote Retrieval commands." I HOPE THAT HELPS. Caroline

ANswer is no. Wouldn't recommend this machine to anyone and the only reason I bought it was because I needed a fax/answering machine combo....only was I could find. Works okay, but not great........

No, this product does not contain a built-in answering machine. Another answering machine on the same line can interfere with receiving faxes, depending on how you have the line and the machine set up. I subscribe to what my local phone company calls "signal ring." There is one phone line, but two phone numbers, each number with its own distinct ring. This fax machine can be set to respond to a distinct ring so that it will automatically pick up when it senses that particular ringing pattern. I use one number for my fax and the other number for my regular phone calls, and I set the fax to answer after only one ring so the answering machine won't interfere with its answering faxes.

Yes, you may input your answering message. You need to enter numbers at least once-we have had no difficulty with the function.

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.

yes or you can put setting on fax to tel/fax and you can recive faxes and your personal calls.

Yes. Look at the buttons "Answer on/off", "Erase", and the ones for moving to the next or previous message.

Set the answering machine to answer after 2 rings. Page 32 of the owners manual.

I don't know if it can store a received fax in memory or not. If you have already printed it out you can make a copy of the fax though

I have the same question, and whether faxes (in-outgoing) have to be within the US only?
