Does it have the "wake on ring" function (so that I can receive fax from stand-by/hibernation mode)?

Yes; I had to set it to answer on 2 rings, but it works on the default "stand-by" condition.

This is a really great question, so I will check and answer it... In Windows 8.1 (which should be the same for XP and up), has 2 checkboxes in Power Management under Device Manager.. One to allow the computer to turn off to save power (disabled by default), and Allow this device to wake the computer (checked by default.) So, Yes. and it appears to be activated by default (which I wasn't expecting.) and based on this, it can be changed as desired.. However, without testing, I don't know (but highly doubt) if it would come out of hibernation, so it would have to be sleep, or a hibrid (if it works.) --OR-- have a power scheme that allows the processor to run 1% on it lowest, saving power, but allowing the modem and any answering machine/fax software the ability to run normally, and minimize the amount of heat coming from the computer.. Hope this helps, and good luck.

Thanks Daisy for your comment. After dealing with having to take the battery out to "unfreeze" and to wake it up, which as you can imagine, is a heck of an inconvenience when you just want to make a call, I sent it back. Will keep searching.

yes, the function you want is called "Call Screening." If Call Screening is set to ON you can hear the incoming message. If it is set to off you should not. Call Screening (p 24 of the User Guide) From the Answering Sys Menu: 1. Press the VOL (- or +) button to scroll to the Call Screening . 2. Press SELECT Soft key. Use the VOL (- or +) button to select On or Off . 3. Press the SELECT Soft key to save your selection and the screen displays Saved

This model does not. I believe you have to go with the DCP8190DN for faxing capability.

Although I have not received a fax with this device I see that when using it with Windows Fax and Scan, this is possible. There is a folder for "incoming" and an "inbox". There is also a selection in the tools menu called "receive a fax now".

Yes that is the default behavior of the device. When you turn it off using the front panel button, it will go into stand-by mode with just the digits of the clock showing. It should be very well suited for use as an alarm clock radio.

Yes, you have the option of either having the message volume on or off. You can decide whether you want to be able to monitor your calls by hearing the message and the reply or you can set it for a silent mode and check it at any time later.

I am so glad you asked, because I didn't know, so I looked and it does have an on/off for the answering machine. Cool!

Sorry after exploring for a count down timer ie sleep function on this radio. I could only find an alarm you can wake upto.

Sorry I can not help you. I am not set up to use my printer for faxing. And I do not plan to do that.

It's not really the handset that determines this it is the way you hook up your fax machine with Ooma and your network. Although there is a Headphone setting for auto answer you want to make sure is off so fax will answer.

It has a auto wake up sleep function on it.....that info is in the description. .....

sorry - can't answer this question. I only used the modem for internet connection - not faxes.

I was not able to shut off the fax ring via the machine. I made my own phone switch to disconnect the phonline when FAX is not needed.

Even the App the Nexus ships with will work. You have to leave the computer on of course. I Prefer Wakevoice. It handles multiple mode alarms (different alarms by day of the week for example. And as the name implies, it talks once you turn off the alarm. It can deliver a message, read my daily agenda, News, etc.

No, this product does not contain a built-in answering machine. Another answering machine on the same line can interfere with receiving faxes, depending on how you have the line and the machine set up. I subscribe to what my local phone company calls "signal ring." There is one phone line, but two phone numbers, each number with its own distinct ring. This fax machine can be set to respond to a distinct ring so that it will automatically pick up when it senses that particular ringing pattern. I use one number for my fax and the other number for my regular phone calls, and I set the fax to answer after only one ring so the answering machine won't interfere with its answering faxes.

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.
