My fax machine is hooked up to the same line as my phone… ie. they share a phone line. Is there a way to set my fax machine to identify and receive faxes without me being present to answer the phone? I have my voicemail set up on this line too, so I don’t want the fax machine to answer every call… just the faxes. Is there a way to make this happen or am I boned? Thanks.

Does anyone know what the correct way to connect a phone to a digital answering machine, caller id & a fax machine. It seems the current configuration the fax doesn’t recognize a fax coming through and the digital answering machine stopped picking up and calls are going through to the voicemail on the phone.

This is a landline.

Thanks for all your help in advance.

The company I work for already has their own phone and fax system established, we just need a voicemail via email service that can allow clients to access their voicemail outside the office.

Received a phone call at work, from a Detective stating that one of my creditors sent him a fax filing a complaint against me. He had the contact information for the collection agency, my reference number and the name of the person I should ask for. He said if he doesn’t hear otherwise from the collection agency stating that everything is resolved, he would have to seek further actions. First, the Detective never left his number or precient for me to call him, so I think this is a scare tactic. And are collection agencies authorized to contact police with my personal information? I have the message saved on my voicemail. If anyone can forward me to a site where I can download legal letters to send to the agency and stop the harrassment I would be grateful. Thanks.

I have a Lexmark x63 and the manual says that you can set it at 3 different levels one of which is "answer/fax" which allows one to receive voicemail and faxes simutaneously but when I tested it by trying to send a fax from another location it did not go through and when I got home and dialed my number from my cell the display on the fax machine said, "press 9 on the telephone or start twice to receive faxes." What is the problem? I have it set at "answer/ fax but when I dialed the number from my cell it reverted to the other level which is "telephone mode" which has one to manually press 9 on the telephone or start twice on the fax machine which means I would have to be here to receive faxes. What is the problem and how can this be resolved? Thanks
