Can I connect Impact ColorFax directly to a Multifunction printer device (all in one, etc.) and receive a fax?
No. You cannot receive a fax through a multifunction device (MFD). Impact ColorFax is a PC based fax software application and can receive faxes if the fax modem is connected to the PC and the telephone line is directly connected to the modem. MFDs are stand alone devices with built in color fax capability. Once it receives a fax, it cannot transfer it to the PC as a fax. The MFD can send or receive color faxes from Impact ColorFax Lite only if both are connected to the opposite end of the telephone line. For example, if you try to send a color fax to your friend and you have the HP MDF, but your friend does not have a color fax device, they have a PC. Your friend can download Impact ColorFax Lite from the Black Ice Software web site, load it on to the PC with a fax modem and your friend is ready to receive the fax.
