Hello! Thank you for rating and commenting on my reviews. I will not be writing a review within the summer holidays as I will be busy re-decorating my house and will hopefully start writing after the summer holidays.

The Brother FAX-1560 is an inkjet fax machine with an integrated telephone as well as an answering machine. The use of inkjet technology means that your received fax documents will be of high quality, but will not be waterproof like all inkjet technology using devices. Other technologies are also put into practice on this fax machine, one technological advantage is the transmission of super fine details and the auto-correctness of errors that occur during transmission. Another advantage is the Fax machines ability to reduce long documents to A4 size.
The on-board modem delivers a 14,400 bps(bits per second) transfer speed, which converts to 14 kbps (kilo-bits per second). Which does not seem a lot, but is sufficient enough to transfer the required data. This is because all fax machines as well as this one convert
documents into the 'Fax' format and then send the document. When the recipient receives the file it is converted back into its original format as to allow a high quality printout. Black and white print-outs are only possible, which is standard for most fax machines. This particular fax machine takes 2-4 seconds to scan a document, which is quite quick.
The Brother FAX-1560 automatically feeds in 20 documents in the document feeder. The document feeder is basically the section of the fax machine which holds the paper ready to fax or print out faxed documents. The paper tray capacity is 100 sheets, which means the fax machine can hold up to a maximum of 100 sheets at a time.
There are 10 one-touch speed dials, which allow you to assign an individual phone number to each dial. The 10 one touch dials are usually used to hold your 10 most important numbers. The 10 one-touch dials are from 0-9, which make up the ten. You also have 100 speed dials. The 100 speed dials are basically the 100 numbers the provided cordless phone can hold or remember.
The other buttons, namely the Faxing and Printing buttons are located on the right of the machine and are colour coded, which makes it easy for everyone to use no matter how much experience they have in using peripheral devices such as printers and fax machines.
The broadcasting prowess of this very fax machine is quite impressive. It will allow you to send an individual fax document to 160 separate locations. The Brother FAX-1560 is able to hold 250 fax documents in its internal memory if you happen to run out of paper. If you happen to be away from home for any possible reason than you do not need to worry as the answering machine will allow 29 minutes of voice recording. Actually you could possibly worry as 29 minutes is not a lot. If many people call and many people decide to leave you a message then there possibly may not be enough recording capacity for all the callers messages.
If the person you call happens to be busy, there is no need to manually re-dial as this is done automatically via the provided cordless phones utilization of auto-redial technology. There is also a speaker phone function on the cordless phone, which means that more than one person can have a conversation with the caller and also you will not have to worry about holding the phone close to your ear when talking.
With the Fax machine you obviously get the cordless phone as well as a single black ink cartridge to get you started. You can buy more black ink cartridges for as little as £5 including V.A.T. The ink cartridges are called (LC-1000 Black ink cartridge). The cheapest deal on E-bay that I saw recently was £8 for 3 ink cartridges. The cheapest deal I found for this very fax machine was £80, however it was used and Amazon was providing the deal.
Brother give you a 1 year warranty, which means that if your fax machine breaks down within 1 year than you are not liable for the damage and you also get a replacement or refund, depending on your wish. The 1 year warranty is enabled once you have registered your fax machine. Without registration there will be no warranty.
Overall the Brother FAX-1560 fax machine is a very good device, and is worth the money. Brother are a fantastic company for Fax machines and printers. Their range of peripherals are very reliable and of good quality, and the Brother FAX-1560 is no exception to their guarantee of reliability and superior quality.
