Faxing depends on what printer model you have. If you have 960/962/964/966 they do stand-alone faxing. other models need Microsoft Fax Console to send/recieve fax.

 

if you have a printer other than specified above read this to send faxes:

How Do I Send Faxes From My Dell™ 922 All-In-One Printer Using the MS Fax
Console Program?

Hi,

 

What kind of AIO printer do you have? 

If you have A920-A944 which is connected to your computer with DSL or Dial up connection, then you will have to go to AIO center from start menu, and then click on fax option in AIO center and follow the instruction.

 

If you have A960-A966 then you have to check the phone line connected and then try to fax from the printer.

 

Note: The first type of AIO printers, you can fax only from computer. what happns here is AIO printer only works as scanner.

 

I hope this will help you, if not reply I will get back to you.

 

Thanks
