There is no RS232 port on the fax machine. I have one phone line at home. Here is what I am trying to accomplish (i.e. use the fax machine as a scanner): 1. Connect the fax machine to the fax modem thru a regular telephone cable. 2. Send image from the fax machine to the fax modem over the telephone cable. (since I have one phone line at home, I can not send the fax image over the telephone system). 3. Edit and manipulate the image. One other thing I would like to try (i.e. use the fax machine as a printer to print image received by the fax modem): 1. Let the fax modem receive the incoming fax message. Screen the message by viewing the fax message bitcom software. 2. Send the fax image to the fax machine for printer. (The reason for this: the Epson 24 header printer is very slow to print out a fax image, the fax machine can print at less than 30sec per page). Has any one done some similar thing to this? Thank you for any pointers.
