Can I plug this in only when I want to fax or receive something occasionally and then disconnect it until next time?

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

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.

Does it have to be connected to a Computor? For I only want to fax in and out, and to make copies.. Thanxs

That is exactly what I use it for. I don't like having 24/7 internet connection, so I have the ethernet cable in port B and turn the knob to A for off and B for on....

We've been using it with a fax machine that's not crucial for a month with no problem. If your use is crucial, I would think about it, since their customer service is only available via chat. I needed to use their cust svc, and didn't have an issue, but I've read some nightmare stories from others. Good luck!

I don't get what u r doing. I will pick up if u r not home, but what if u pick the phone up and hear a fax tone, Can u send a code on the keypad to have the fax pick up while u r in another room?Can u use an answerphone to get voice messages?I used Norton Fax software. It was nice because it did Fax and Voice on the same line and put everything on your hard drive. I hoped hardware could do this without the PC.Is there any hope?

It supports the modem-on-hold feature. This will pause your internet connection for an incoming call or fax.

You don't have to just disconnect your phone line. The problem occurs when you have the phone line in the wrong port. I had my phone and fax lines in the wrong ports. I switched them, and the clicking went away and everything works fine now.

Yes but it won't last long if you need to unplug it and plug it in regularly

Can you be just a bit more specific? This device is a modem... and requires dial tone to operate... connecting it directly to the fax's line port will not provide dial tone, and thus will not operate the fax.doesn't the fax have a usb port to connect to your computer with via a usb cable?You need a telephone line connected directly to the fax on it's line port. let me know if this answers your question...

The device is plug-n-play, Windows 7 configures automatically. Print-to-fax? I have no idea.

There are two tabs to push to unplug. If you don't push them you can ruin the connection plug.

You can fax from this unit (you only need to plug it into a phone cord); however, this would be one of the worst things you could do. Why? Doing so would mean that you've actually purchased this printer. If you send me $300, I'd be happy to burn it for you - you'll be much more satisfied with the result.

yes. just make sure you have high speed internet and not too many users on your network when faxing

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, 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.

Yes I am able to fax from my computer as well as receive faxes from other fax senders. Have tried other usb fax plug-in (from walk in store) but only this particular US Robotics model is consistently able to hang up at the end of all transmissions.

You can have them plugged in, but you will not be able to use them at the same time unless a program let's you select the output.
