4.0 out of 5 stars
Overall good, but has flaws, October 24, 2005
This review is from: Remanufactured Brother PPF-2800 IntelliFax Laser Fax/Copier/Telephone (EPPF-2800) (Office Product)
Sine all the reviews are on the 4800, thought I'd give a quick review on the 2800. Overall this is a good machine. It faxes well, and receives well. However there are some downfalls:
1. One must use new paper, if you use scratch paper (pre-used) then it will tend to jam up and you wont get your fax.
2. When sending, one cannot send a large amount (i.e. 23pgs) or they will get fed together. After I faxed 23 pages I got a confirmation of 16 pages sent.
3. Fax confirmation is by paper. There should be a verbal confirmation also so you don't waste paper.
In final, if you don't sent many pages, and don't mind using new paper to receive fax, then this is a reliable machine. Laser quality and toner price is good. Laser is the way to go for fax in my opinion. Also sleep mode is great, it shuts down after no use for energy saving.
Update: Ended up upgrading to the 2820. Nearly all flaws are fixed with their new design. Please see Brother's 2820 for the review. I would reccomend the 2820 if you can justify the price difference. (higher price = less agony) sad but true.
