There is one way to find out --

You need to know your printer model (not provided)

AND

Your printer needs to have a built-in Fax as part of the printer hardware

AND

The fax needs to support forwarding received faxes to a phone number

Fortunately, though we cannot help track down an "unknown" printer, you can do this and find the information you seek

If the printer includes working Fax hardware,

The user manual for the printer will have a full chapter on how to use the Fax, including any supported Digital or forwarding options.

Open  Product Home - Printers

Find and open your printer's support website

Open Category Setup & User Guides

Find and open the user guide > Find and Read the Chapter on Fax

No Fax chapter?

Printer does  not have a built-in Fax component.

In this case, you'll need to find an electronic eFax service that includes the ability to Receive faxes.

You are welcome.

If you need more specific help, tell us the printer model and what you are using (for example HP Mobile Fax).

Your DeskJet printer does not include Fax hardware -- there is not a fax built into your printer.

The answer for Mobile Fax applies to your situation.

Read your user manual --

User Guide > Page 61

Mobile Fax -- at this writing --  cannot be used to Receive fax.
