2.0 out of 5 stars Poor Overseas mode, not reliable, June 16, 2005

By 

Alexander B. (Norfolk, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: BRTFAX1940CN - IntelliFAX-1940CN Ink Jet Plain Paper Color Fax/Copier/Built-in Message Center (Electronics)

This fax has the following draw backs:

1) Poor Overseas mode. I've tried 10 different fax numbers in the following countries: France, Germany, Russia, Ukraine, Sweden and there was always a 'comm.error' message.

2) It can't hang up if errors occur. If there is a problem in a fax transmission, this fax won't hang up/free the phone line.

3) It has a very 'fragile' construction (paper holder is a joke)

4) You won't be able to use it as a printer in network mode (ethernet connection and, probably, USB). So called 'printer drivers' are not optimized for Windows XP and you will get a lot of 'can't communicate with printer' errors.

I'd suggest to stay away from this fax. Canon L80 might be a better solution if you can invest more in a fax machine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great, September 15, 2005

We wanted an all in one unit for faxing and messages for our home office. This one appeared to fill the bill. It's compact and the quality of the printing is good. LCD is hard to read and the controls are clunky. Still a good deal for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple Set Up, November 30, 2005

Network was simple to set up using XP. The only downside is that the drivers are not include in the box - you have to download them from Brother and its about a 90mb download. After that, connect your cables and your set. I dont know why everyone is saying it wont work with XP or is difficult to set up. The whole process took about 5 min.
