Would not recommend this USB modem, it has no instructions or clues as to how to use it other than it specifically acts as a dial-up modem for Internet access and for fax/data applications via a land telephone line (includes the telephone cord for connecting the same). You said you have a "modem wire" - suggesting you already have a modem and thus no need for an external modem. Maybe you need a USB connector, not a modem? Best to due more research for your specific need.

I don't think it would work the way your planning to use it.. It says you can use to fax/data applications via a land telephone line.but I couldn't get this to work on laptop.. Would not read it or install drivers for it to work with Win7 64 bit.

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.

Old thread, but found this suggestion. It requires you have a *long* telephone line: "try plugging that line cord into the "Telephone" jack on the old machine. That is, there will be a single line cord from the wall jack to the "Line" jack on the old (receiving) fax machine, and a long line cord from the "Telephone" jack of the old machine to the "Line" jack of the new machine."

You probably have it on manual, which is what I use because I use the same phone line for my answering machine and talking. To get a fax in manual I tell the people sending a fax to contact me just before sending the fax. Then you need to make sure the power is on, and when they send the fax hit the "hook" button which answers the phone so the fax machine can take the fax, then you can turn the machine off. If you have a second phone line you can put the fax machine on that phone line input and put the machine on automatic. The cartridges are a bit expensive but their are refill companies that refill the empty cartridges for about $30. They usually just take your empty cartridge and give you one that has been already refilled.

I don't have one but my basic understanding is you don't need this if you have a cordless phone base station connected to your original Ooma Telo.I have two other cordless phones connected to the base station phone Panasonic wirelessly in other areas of the house. My fax is right at the cable modem and computer. If I want a fax in another area of the house I will need this additional device. (or run 50 ft of telephone wire.)

Yes you need a USB cord pluged in to your computor or lap top if you want to print from there you don't need to be hooked up to anything if you want to make copies only hope this helps it is not a wireless printer'

This is for fax/tel, if you have dial-up maybe but I would use wireless router and wireless usb adapter connected the desktop computer instead, I used this to hook up to my fax machine

You need an Internet connection as it can be connected directly to a USB port on a laptop or desktop computer. Irregardless of your land-line phone service provider you will not lose your service unless you cancel it yourself.

Yes, you connect it to the house line. You might need to configure the program that you use, such as your fax software, to make sure it it pointing to the modem. Windows Uodate should automatically download and install the necessary driver. If it doesn't, try connecting the modem to a different USB port.

Mine did not come with built in fax capability. Personally, I use the wifi function, but there is a port for a phone line on the back of this machine.

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

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

First you need to have a phone line plugged into the machine. Then you need to set up the machine per the manual to receive the faxes. This can be done automatically or manually and many things factor into how you set it up ie do you have a dedicated line for the fax or is it you landline for other uses. Do have answering machine on same line? Will you be there to receive the fax ? There are lots of variables.

The 8625 at Costco comes with a USB printer cable, a telephone wire to plug into a telephone port so you can use this as a fax machine and a network cable if you choose to connect this printer directly to your router/switch.

You don't need to if you have your files backed up properly offline or in Neat Cloud. It's like going wireless on your phone...do you really need a landline. It's more about getting used to the concept and not an actual need to keep hard copies.

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.

You don't need a cable to connect wirelessly. If you download the software drivers from the Epson website it will show you step by step how to connect wirelessly. I would download the latest version. You also have to use the printer while connecting wirelessly. The downloaded online software has instructions will show you how step by step to do this.
