Terrible car, poor customer service

I am a doctor and need a fax machine for prescriptions. I ordered this one and it never worked properly, not once. All the faxes came, but they were all half empty. I called Brother Technical Support and after a long wait they told me 3 times that the fax machine was fine and that the problem was with my phone line. I knew it was nonsense, but I finally got tired of running around, so I went and bought another fax machine. Low and lo and behold it worked, nothing wrong with the phone line or…

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • weak

For 7 years I have been dealing with the limitations of a 15 year old fax machine. Paper Jams, Storage Issues, Feeding Issues, Scanning Issues, Trust Issues! I have been suffering for 7 years. So I decided to take the plunge with a new fax machine. Honestly, 99.9% of the faxes I receive are junk, but once a week I get something that's actually business and that's why I need a working fax machine. This thing is big, bulky, and looks like it's supposed to do a lot more than it actually does, but…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Weak dialing

Terrible car! - Printer and accessories

This machine will NOT work for us! First of all, it takes no more than 10 pages and requires several retries to send the fax. Very disappointing. Second, there is no way to copy anything other than individual pages, e.g. B. a copy of book pages as you cannot lift the top to reveal the palette. This machine caused total stress and certainly didn't make our everyday office life any easier. Because it keeps crashing, yesterday I drove downtown to another company to use their fax machine. We put up

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Hard to tell

I need a working fax machine to replace this one.

I purchased this item in February 2019 to replace my old Brother Intellex Fax/Phone which was having paper feeding problems. I repurchased this second Brother fax/phone because I need a fax machine with phone capability for my company's second phone line. Otherwise I would buy an HP product. Now I have the same paper feed problems. I have to open the paper drawer to push the paper back and then press the start button to receive a fax. I have to do this on average after only receiving 1 or 3…

Excellent compact laser fax – after setup.

After dealing with an HP inkjet fax machine at my restaurant that kept jamming and drying out, I decided I needed a compact laser that would fit in the allotted space. account except that it was white and all other devices in the area were black. After unboxing the unit I used masking tape to cover up the black areas and any exposed electronics. With a simple flat black spray can I was able to make everything black. No one can tell it was drawn even if I show them. The first problem has been…

  • Done
Cons
  • Hard to remember, but it was

Exactly what I wanted

This is an excellent fax machine. In my home office, it replaces an HP FAX-900 that served as a bon vivant for many years but finally met its end. Before that I had a Canon thermal printer which I paid around 10 times more for at the time than this Brother machine. It's really adorable. You have read all the reviews. This machine offers very high quality input and output. It's fast; it works; and consumables available. I wouldn't bother you with another review if I didn't report that the "deep…

Pros
  • Rugged design
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Deep sleep solved.

This fax machine is excellent. However, the problem of deep sleep mode is real. After pasting together a few comments that appeared on the network, I found the following. 1) The device will spontaneously enter normal sleep mode when not in use. That saves energy. In normal sleep mode, the machine wakes up from sleep mode and receives faxes normally. So that's good. 2) After a certain time (which you can set in the "Ecology" menu), the machine goes into "deep sleep" mode. This mode saves more…

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Older model
