do you have to hook it up with computer or you can fax with phone line without the computer

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.

all you need is a phone line for faxing, no computer. - if you want to use as printer and/or scan you need to connect to computer.

Nalini, The Canon FAXPHONE L190 will connect directly to a phone line for faxing. A computer is not needed for the fax function.

Yes, you can use a fax in one of the lines if you have a different one to use as your phone

You can send fax by having your phone line plugged in; and going to fax using the touchpad on the device. It does fax pretty easy. My complaint with the machine is that the touchpad does not work good. I often have to touch several times before the machine reacts.

I don't think it has to have a dedicated fax line. Mine is hooked up to one, but I believe you have a choice. This is a great machine. Very simple to use does a great job, and does not take up a lot of room.

Hi Catherine I do have a fax machine hooked up with the phone and have sent out fax by dialing out (both with the phone and from the fax machine directly). I have not had a fax call come in. But I presume that the fax machine will detect and respond to the call and cut the phone out. Does it help?

If you order direct from Basic Talk it comes already configured and ready to use. Plug it into your router and plug in a phone and your are good to go! I plugged it into my house wiring after diconnecting the wire to the telephone pole and it activated my whole house. The short answer is no you don't need a computer.

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, a phone line is required in order for the system to dial out. My recommendations would be simple talk, vonage or Verizon's home phone connect.

Nancy, yes you do need a DSL phone line and no you do not need a computer to hook up to it. if you are just going to use all your wireless/Wi-Fi equipment.

Only one line needed as PB says. It also has a "fax/tel" setting so the machine can receive a fax if no-one is home. Useful setting for thwarting junk calls too.

yes but it will interrupt the fax transmission. I'm not sure how you are using the modem. It connects to the computer and then the wall. The fax and/or phone are connected via a splitter from the wall jack. But regardless it will disconnect when a fax or a call comes in.

Sorry that I can't help you; I don't need a fax so I didn't set it up. We have 3 laptops & a Kindle that all work wirelessly with the printer.

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.

Fax and voice calls on a single line. This feature saves the expense of separate phone lines for fax and voice calls. A built-in interface even lets you connect an external answering machine. THIS review by someone else: I also use this line with receiving phone messages and this machine is smart enough to know which is which. Highly recommend it.

For FAX you need the phone wire. Only computer printing and scanning works (sometimes ...) wireless .... but ... don't buy it ... it's just waste of money and time. Today I had to restart this printer twice (shut down ... unplug (!!!) ... wait 1 minute ... replug ... restart ... wait 10 minutes ...).
