Hi, the fax number will be the number associated with the phone line that the fax is plugged into, so whatever line you have your fax machine plugged into, that will be the fax number.  If you're not sure what the phone number for that line is, you can try sending a fax from the fax machine to a landline phone that has Caller ID or to a cell phone, and see what the number that comes up on the screen is.  To verify, call that number from a phone and make sure the fax machine rings or shows that it's getting an incoming call.
