Does this machine have a "deep sleep" where I need to be there to wake it up to accept faxes. That would be a deal breaker.

No it does not. At least if it does I am not aware of it. We use it at our office and while no one is there all weekend it accepts many faxes, it also has a memory in case it runs out of paper. So you won't miss any faxes.

This has been a great machine, it has a distinct ring capability, for a few extra dollars per month I have a separate number that goes directly to the fax.
1408603
No, it does not. We plugged it in, set it up and have been receiving faxes ever since!

Sorry. I wouldn't know. We have it in a work room attached only to a FAX line.I will say if I had it to do over again, I'd order a different machine. It doesn't give notification when a fax has gone through.Also there is a wonky way the received faxes come out and our employees keep trying to open a very difficult plastic door to replace paper when they don't have to...just hard to reclose and not really obvious where to replace paper...design flaws in my opinion.

Sorry I'm not sure about that - we rarely receive faxes so they come in as received. You might download the manual and check there. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Same as the other two respondents. We found cheaper ink from Cartridge World (remanufactured toner and ink), and also Lasertonerdeals.com. Some setup items you can complete with the Dell software on the computer. Yes, need a landline for Fax. It has a sleep setting to save energy....Can make the print response slow sometimes.

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 it solely as a fax and use a cordless phone on my desk. Frankly, if I had it to do over I would buy a better machine.

Well not a tray, however the in-coming fax will come up in front of the blank paper tray and rest against it. So far I haven't had any problems with this machine. Well worth the investment! RON

Yes, absolutely, this model does have fax capability. I've used it to fax several times over the years. I'm so thrilled with this device that when it finally wore out, I bought the exact same model.

Erika, This model doe not have fax link, but when I was looking at the printers they did have one with the fax also that was the same as this one only with a fax feature

To add another voice, YES, "ThisWas" user is correct. This printer does support SLEEP MODE with Wifi on. I use it this way all the time. The only question is does it support "deep sleep" mode, and that it does not, in wifi mode. But understand, we are talking a very, very small difference in power drain between SLEEP and DEEP SLEEP. For instance, if you print ONE PAGE a year unneccessarily, you will use more power (in wattage) than the power difference between SLEEP and DEEP SLEEP for that entire year. So, I love the SLEEP MODE and it works well with wifi.

If the machine is turned on and waiting it answers and receives a fax automatically yes. If it where turned completely off no. We have had this machine in an office for a couple months now and love it.

There is nothing in the Owner's Manual regarding sending a fax via your computer. It does do an awesome job of sending multi-page faxes very quickly!! I typically send 26 to 30 pages with no problem! I have really enjoyed having this piece of office equipment as it takes the work out of sending a fax.

Yes, I have my phone line unplugged a majority of the time. I only have the phone line connected when I need the fax.

Can't answer either question. I occasionally send and receive faxes, so far has worked fine no issues. Getting to be an obsolete communication method.

I think it comes with software to do it but I never have used it. There is a hold option on the printer if your looking for it not to print the fax right away. Faxing itself is easy enough with this printer as long as you have an open phone line. Pages go in feeder, dial number and press black or color (doesn't matter unless your sure they have a color fax machine and need it to be)

I brought it home once and sent a fax from my home. Then I took it back to my store where I use it for a phone and fax. I don't know if it has a setting for fax only.

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.
