Can I connect the base station to my fax machine?

There is only one incoming line connection for the base. Possibly if you use a double out going junction connecter it could be done. But I am not sure but I think you can use the base to fax by itself. But I don't know why you would want to. Unless all your incoming phone calls are faxes.

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.

yes you can. i have my base connected by its self and the fax machine connected by its self--if the answering machine picks up -but a data tone is being sentthe fax is set to pickup the data tone.you can connect both togetheryou may need to do some adjusting according to the instructions and your preference.

Yes it can be.. But you must have a connection that works like your fax machine or home traditional telephone line, what we call an analog line.

I couldn't get it to work with a modem, something about the frequency difference, but I haven't tried it with a fax so I don't know for sure.

Fax works fine, it will give you the option to print or not. also works with distinctive ring tone if you have the machine connected to one phone line. Wi-fi work great as well. Excellent value for the price.

yes but it all depends on your software and its compatibility with StartTech USB56KEM3 external fax modem

I hooked mine up for that purpose, but haven't been able to figure out the fax function on my new printer. So I am not much help.

Make sure the phone line coming from your house is connected directly into the fax machine, then connect the fax machine phone line to your answering machine. In addition you have to set up your fax maching to answer faxes on the forth ring and set you answering machine to answer calls on the third ring (less rings than your fax machine). Lastly, set the fax maching to "TAD" (telephone & answering device) located on the top right of the fax machine. This button can accidently be bumped. Check if it is still on "TAD".

No. My situation does not call for faxing so I didn't buy it for that. I do really like this printer so far.

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.

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

I have been told that you can send and receive faxes, but I have no first-hand experience doing it. I purchased the unit to connect my Dish receiver up to my telephone line. That operation works quite well, so it would seem that faxes would also.

That is very similar to my setup. You will want a Linx for your fax. I did add 2 Ooma HD2s which are nice for multi line and 3 way calls, but they are not my preferred handset. The navigation pad is difficult to use. You will have one port for your base, though I assume you could use a cheap splitter if you need to have two bases.

Follow the instructions to hook up the answer machine with the fax. It works great!!! If the call is a fax the fax machine picks up; if the call is a voice call and you don't answer it it will go to the answer machine that you attach to the fax.

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.

I do not use a FAX machine but it should. It is a standard phone and works fine. I use it with my MagicJack phone service, so that is technically connected to a computer and not directly to a wall. Hope this helps. --Howard.

Did you buy this unit?I'm looking to buy one too. Does the fax software allow you to receice a fax to your computer before printing it?

Could you be more specific with the question, I understand that you and sip trunks are connecting a fax on FXS port if so if it works
