My fax is hooked up to Line 2. If I'm on Line 1 and a fax comes in on Line2, does that interrupt my call?

The short answer is No. But look on Page 18 of Panasonic Operating Instructions for required manual procedure. The instruction book can be downloaded from Panasonic.

No, it has to have an analog line. The most calls you can join at once is 2.

Can you be just a bit more specific? This device is a modem... and requires dial tone to operate... connecting it directly to the fax's line port will not provide dial tone, and thus will not operate the fax. doesn't the fax have a usb port to connect to your computer with via a usb cable? You need a telephone line connected directly to the fax on it's line port. let me know if this answers your question...

Depends. Are you saying of the two physical different land lines, you want one land line to have a phone and a fax on it? If that is the case, then yes, this would work to split the same phone line into two phone jack ports for you to use your fax and phone. If you have two phone numbers (aka 2 land lines), then you wouldn't need this if you're going to use one phone number exclusively for the fax -- just plug that one into the fax and the other phone number (land line) to your phone. I use this to split the same land line for a fax and a phone and it works just fine.

No. My phone utilizes VOIP. When a 2nd call comes in there is a brief interruption in the connection.

No. You can have a conference call but you can't have both phone "a" and phone "b" on line 1 without it being a conference call. If someone is using line 1 and line 2 rings you do hear a beep. Be careful though. I had to return these phones twice due to having issues with speaker phone.

Richard: it is a very simple on off switch. I hooked it up to my home office phone and the copy/fax machine. When off it does not interfere with my calls and when on, I can send or received a fax. If you connect it to the main phone line, what ever line you connect to it, can be turned on or off. Hope that helps. Larry

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.

Bob-it is a on-off switch for 1 phone line. I use it the same as U. I leave it off most of the time and on when I fax or expect a fax. I use the same line for my office on a splitter. If the switch is on, it screwed up a normal incoming call. Hope that helps

No. We have it hooked to our main line coming in to the business. But we are still happy with it. Maybe it's possible to use a splitter. I don't know. We don't use our second line but for fax or rair occasion of overflow of calls

Thanks to everyone for the help on this. I am going to try the suggestions and see if that works. I'd really like to be able to do an outbound fax anytime and receive a fax by pressing the receive button.I fear that the fax picking up in the middle of the call may be due to using VOIP with Vonage as it will occasionally make a faxish noixe when a second call comes in. Will report back the results -- ping me on this list by adding a reply if I don't (i get an email on each reply).

Yes it does. It's not obvious, you have to press the line one or line 2 buttons.

YES! In fact it is my favorite part of this machine. You plug in a phone line and tell it to share the line. There is no separate line needed. The phone rings to receive calls and when a fax comes in the phone rings and the printer turns on and receives the fax. So much easier than other machines I have used. Faxing is just as easy. Put it in the scanner. Select fax function, put in your number and press OK. All done.

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.

to make faxes you only need one dedicated phone line.. I plug my phone line in the printer going in and the phone line going out these are on the rear of the printer .. I fax with mine all the time..

You can't receive a voice call and a fax at the same time. I have two lines, one for faxes and for calls from family and friends, the other with a published number, for business etc. I leave the fax machine turned off except when I'm expecting a fax. The answering machine message on the fax line starts with "if you are trying to send a fax, call the main number first and we will turn the fax on...".
