I use this fax machine at work and it is the cause of so much stress and tension I thought I would let you all know how I was beaten by such a plain, dull and basically annoying machine that jams on a regular basis, smudges fax transmissions and forgets to send certain important pages at random.
If you wanted to buy a Brother FAX 8360P and I would urge everyone reading not to it would cost around £230 and for that you get the fax machine, a network cable to hook it up to your LAN and a lead to plug it into the phone network to enable transmissions. We have had our Brother FAX 8360P for 6 months and the problems started pretty much straight away and the instruction manuals FAQ are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard, as it the manufacturers support.In theory the fax machi9ne should allow you to send and receive documents from another fax machine. It also doubles up as a copying machine but in an office area, there is no need for this function if there is an onsite photocopier. It has the capacity to store up to 300 speed dial numbers but no ability to attach names to the numbers and nowhere to write them down so after inputting 30 or so you start to lose track of who is who.
So the problems. Over the last 5 months (it worked ok for a month) it has stopped printing off transmission reports, when it does it states the wrong number of pages transmitted and the toner finisher smears the toner across the page making it impossible to read.When faced with using the fax machine now I would rather take extra time and scan the documents and send by e-mail rather than running the risk of having to continually send the same pages over and over again and then having no idea if they have arrived ok.
Avoid at all costs.
