I really don’t know where I would be without my brother, he is very reliable, always there for me, takes messages for me when I’m out, he is so perfect. Yes you may have quest by now my brother is a machine.


I purchased this wonderful machine about a year ago; I needed to get a new fax machine, as my old ones days were numbered. I was given the old one and it was very big and took up a lot of room, as it was an office machine, but did its job. I looked around for some time until I found the perfect one. This model is much more than just a fax machine, it is also a telephone, and messenger and photocopier all rolled into one, which is brilliant. No more going to the library to get copies done, no more missed telephone calls; it’s a godsend. I will explain about the functions available.

The Telephone Key Pad – Twelve keys used to dial phone and fax numbers and can be used as an alphanumeric keyboard for entering fax information.
Mercury button – This is for mercury subscribers to gain access to their network.
Redial/Pause button – Dials the last number called and to insert a pause in AutoDial numbers.
Speakerphone button – You can talk without lifting the handset.
Help/Memory button – This prints out a help list for user information on functions.
Start button – Use to receive a fax manually.
Menu button – Use this for altering various settings.
Quick dial keys – These are for recording a memo and playing/erasing ICMs stored in personal mailboxes.
Copy button – Use this for copying paperwork.
DT mode button – This activates message manager.
Record button - Record your own telephone message or memo manager messages into the fax machine.
Erase - This erases voice or fax messages stored in your machine.
The Handset – This has keys for dialing, a secrecy button, and volume of ring tone adjuster, pause, redial, recall.


I have covered most of the features, but don’t want to bore you with too much. The owner’s manual is very easy to follow, I don’t know about you but I usually have problems understanding most manuals. It has diagrams that are very helpful. This machine enables you to send a fax with your own cover page, that you can customize, which I really like. I brought mine for about £80 pounds through a company called Neat ideas, and if you want any info on them, then fell free to look at my opinion on them. I would certainly recommend this machine, as its compact and does everything that you need. I can tell you that a new one model called the T74 is out now and costs £119 from Neat Ideas. You could possibly find it cheaper.


Thanks for reading bye for now Deni
