Can it be hooked up as a "dual line" with an answering machine, so people can leave a message or send a fax on the same single phone number? Thanks.

You will have to check with your local phone company. Different types of lines are available now.

Hi Sandy R! The FAXPHONE L190 is equipped with an Answer mode that allows faxes to come in automatically and switches to the phone for voice calls and leaving messages on answering machines.

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

yes there is an answering machine that works on both lines. Machine is no problem.

This is a simple on/off switch for a phone line. Much like the a wall switch for an electrical outlet. The phone line from the wall plugs into the little box and what ever is plugged into the box's other jack will either get the phone signal or not, depending on the position of the switch. You can use the switch, or multiple switches, to do interesting things. However you could NOT use it to switch the phone signal between a phone and a fax without getting creative. For that you would need an A/B switch. So I"m not sure what your really are wanting to do. If you can describe it with a more detail I'll be glad to help. - Marc

Yes, you need some kind of analog phone service to send faxes. You also need a computer, but I am guessing you know that.

No. We have it hooked to our main line coming in to the business. But we are still happy with it. Maybe it's possible to use a splitter. I don't know. We don't use our second line but for fax or rair occasion of overflow of calls

It would depend. If you are asking if you can connect to a FAX line, yes they are just telephone lines typically. If you want both the FAX and the Base connected, I would get a splitter that turns one jack into two telephone jacks, and plug the FAX into one side and the phone into the other. Some research needs to be done to see how to set the FAX and phone to share the line. Many FAX machines or phones can be set to determine what type of call is incoming.

Never tried it, but it's just like any other phone line, one can talk on one phone, someone else on another. Making a different call though I would say NO.

No, it has to have an analog line. The most calls you can join at once is 2.

Yes, you can do a kind of conference call with multiple people in the home on the same phone call. What you cannot do is call 2 different numbers at the same time because it is all hooked into 1 phone number.

You can hook it up straight to phone. This fax is neat. It also works as a printer if you hook it up to your laptop or desktop. I use it for business, definitely recommend it.

I use this fax maching for my business. We probably fax about 30 pages at a time without any problem. And yes you can use a phone line.

No it does not need a dedicated line. I use a phone cuplar to use my phone and fax at the same time. There are actually 3 modes for answer, fax only; fax/tel, and manual which you have to physical answer when a fax is being received. I hope this helps.

That really depends on the voip system. If it will allow you to set multiple destinations for a single inbound number, i dont see why not.

It has fax capability (send/receive) though I wouldn't call it a "fax machine." Dedicated fax machines typically have a lot more fax-specific features you won't find on any multi-function machine. If you want to occasionally send or receive a fax, this will do just fine.

YES! In fact it is my favorite part of this machine. You plug in a phone line and tell it to share the line. There is no separate line needed. The phone rings to receive calls and when a fax comes in the phone rings and the printer turns on and receives the fax. So much easier than other machines I have used. Faxing is just as easy. Put it in the scanner. Select fax function, put in your number and press OK. All done.

Yes works with 2 separates phone lines and users can have conversation at same time...
