2.0 out of 5 stars Ok but SLOW, August 9, 2001

This review is from: Sharp Color AJ-5030 All-In-One Print/Copy/Scan (Office Product)

This is a VERY, VERY, VERY slow machine for coping. The copy speed is 1.2 cpm for color and 2.5 cpm for b/w. I would rather pay more to get another brand of Print/Copy/Scan/Fax if I knew the speed performance before I bought it. If you don't need the fax function, there are some other cheaper machines that work faster than this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Purchase something else, February 23, 2002

This review is from: Sharp Color AJ-5030 All-In-One Print/Copy/Scan (Office Product)

The sharp minds at Sharp Electronics have missed the mark with the AJ 5030 Color Multifunction Printer. It seems that the only cutting is when Sharp separates the customer from his money.

The AJ 5030 was purchased for use in our home for copying and faxing. A major consideration was the ability to copy pages from books so we were limited to flatbed scanners instead of pass through. A second telephone number was added to our main line so the machine would be able to receive faxes unattended.

The AJ 5030 was easy to set up as a stand-alone machine and the test pages all looked good. The copy/fax function was very slow!...

We ran into the first problem when the fax machine would not answer incoming calls. After multiple conversations with customer service people, we were instructed to contact the telephone company and have the ring pattern changed. This worked for a few months but then the machine stopped answering again. After multiple telephone calls to the Sharp service group, a manager said that problem was incompatibility with the local telephone company and they don't guarantee connectivity with all companies. When I attempted to get information about compatibility so I could talk to the telephone people, I was told that it was not available and they were not going to help me. It seems that Verizion (formerly Bell Atlantic) is not big enough for Sharp compatibility.

So buyer be-ware, there are better low cost MFP's that have good support people. Stay away from the Sharp AJ machines.

1.0 out of 5 stars Maybe it's just me but . . ., October 17, 2001

I have been trying to get this printer to work with Win98SE, to no avail. The software crashes my taskbar and shuts down my Start Button. I like the features, but it would be nice if I could use my computer at the same time. Tech support sent me a link to a download of the same software I got with the printer, even with the details I sent. Verdict is undecided.
