Do I need a dedicated phone line for this printer?

No, I use my regular phone line, unplug the line from the phone and plug it into the printer and then send my fax. When the fax is done, I unplug the line from my printer and plug back into the phone.

to make faxes you only need one dedicated phone line.. I plug my phone line in the printer going in and the phone line going out these are on the rear of the printer .. I fax with mine all the time..

you should have a built in fax with 8.1; look under devices and printers? you will need to run a telephone line to your computer.

The printer comes with a Power Cord & a Telephone Cable in the box. The ethernet cable and/or USB cable have to be purchased seperately.

Yes, but extremely easy to do. Your computer or mobile device will "look" for the printer if you are in its range or you can e-mail your printer if you are out of range. Of course, you can connect the printer via wires to your computer if you wish. Works great!

The back of the printer has a port for a standard phone/fax line, which is supplied with the printer. THis fax line has only two contacts instead of the stardard 4 that most phone lines have. Connect this to the proper port and run the fax setup program from the touch panal on the printer. If this is a dedicated and separate line you should be good. If it a shared line with distinctive ring you will need to set the number of rings before the fax comes through. This may take some playing with to get it right. Follow the instructions in the setup program. Good luck. Printer works great in all functions.

I have everything on the phone line. I have a 3-way splitter with the phone, fax/printer/2620 and the computer. It is on Cableone, and works great.

Printer can be setup "wired" - with USB or Ethernet. If "wireless" then you do need a WiFi modem/router.

We do not have our printer connected to the telephone line and we are able to do all other functions (copy, scan, print). We just don't use the FAX. Phone line does not seem to be needed.

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.

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 will have to set up the networking in the printer, then your router should take care of the rest.

It is wireless ready, so you need to have some type of internet access/network for the printer to be on. It also has a USB port/cable to print directly

yes...there is no phone line connector...must have a base unit to work with.

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

No, you have to buy a higher model to get that. The printer itself is pretty good, but seems a bit sensitive to third party ink.

No I use WiFi, the only cords you need is the power cord and a telephone cord that comes with printer if you are going to use the fax.
