quick question: fax in multifunction printers
Posted: 2012-01-01 05:52pm
Hallo, it's me with a probably dumb question, but..
I'm looking for a multifunction printer for my home office, my favorite currently being the Canon Pixma MX885. One feature I'm interested in is the ability to send faxes, as too many institutions and companies still demand a constant flow of them and it is annoying to always have to take care of my stuff at my work office. But will I be able to use the fax functions without a physical connection to the phone line, i.e., over my wifi connection, or does it need a wire, or will I potentially require a new router with extra capabilities? I'm a bit confused with this annoyingly not-quite-completely-obsolete technology.
Thanks.
