How can i use my fax with magic jack.using lexmark X2350

This is the answer that I got from the FAQ page.
SOMETIMES.
We do not officially support using faxing with magicJack.
Please try the following steps to use magicJack with your fax (contact your fax manufacturer for details):
  1. Turn off error correction on your fax machine or program
  2. Set the fax machine or program to use the slowest speed available
  3. Increase the speed, checking at each speed that faxes work
It seems that it depends upon the faxing unit that you use.
