Very happy with this machine, works great. But you should get the high capacity black ink cartridge (54) because the small one does not last very long.

3.0 out of 5 stars Capable Fax Machine, February 17, 2009

This fax machine works as expected. My only complaint is that it won't work without the color ink cartridge which is useless unless you send or receive a fax with a similar machine. I have never sent or received a color fax and know of no one who has.

This is a great choice for home or very small office use. It folds up into a compact and visually pleasing package, and gives you the option of making color or black/white copies as well as sending and receiving color or b/w FAXs, plus offers a handset phone. The quality of the FAXs are consistent with what you'd expect from ink jet printers. It offers relatively quiet operation and we have yet to have a paper jam, which was our main complaint with the machine this replaces.

I bought this for use in a 7 person office, and must have been in denial about how many FAXs we receive. We used to replace our Brother toner cartridge twice a year. We replaced the ink cartridge that came with this machine in three days. We replaced the HP 21 cartridge we used next in about a week. We're currently on our first 54 and counting. I think we'll end up spending a lot more for toner than we would with a more expensive FAX machine.

This machine does not have a large paper drawer - in fact, it's just an open tray and the incoming FAX's slide out on top of the blank paper. It's a really compact system, and like I said, would be fine for those who don't receive a lot of FAXs. We like it, but it's as if we're using a home FAX machine one of us brought in to get us through until the real FAX machine arrives.
