5.0 out of 5 stars Great machine that does what it should, June 30, 2002

I love my Brother 885 Fax machine and message center. This is a great machine that I use for a small home business, and it does what it is suppose to do very well. I always get my messages and faxes, its memory works as a backup if you run out of paper, and it has a blinking light if you get a message (a feature I use to take for granted before trying Panasonic and Sharp machines that didn't have this feature, and many paper jams!)
I don't use the phone handset, which seems flimsy, but again; this is primarily a fax and message center!

5.0 out of 5 stars Low operating cost!, January 1, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Brother IntelliFax 885MC Plain-Paper Fax with Message Center (Office Product)

I have many different types of low priced fax machines. Many are expensive to operate. The brother machines, when using the refills is much more economical than other brands. Not to mention that for [amt] more than the 775 Brother, throw's in an answering machine. I found that you can adjust the incoming fax quality by selecting super fine mode, this prints in a higher resolution than the normal mode and show's greater detail when recieving.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bad - Could not read many incoming faxes - ONE STAR, June 24, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Brother IntelliFax 885MC Plain-Paper Fax with Message Center (Office Product)

REVISED - ONE STAR
At first when I used this fax for only outgoing distributions, it was a superstar because of its price. Then when I started getting faxes from contractors, it fell to a one star. I couldn't read most of them. Sure if someone used a bold or larger font, the info came through but the quality on regular fonts was not readable. I finally put this fax machine in the alley here in Chicago because I didn't want to resell it and have the person buy it get stuck with this problem.
