Brother MFC-235c all in one inc fax capability.

Advantages: Very economical on ink.
Disadvantages: None that I know of

...or second use! Compatible cartridges are prohibitively expensive, as they need to have a chip and a printhead in every cartridge!! This is where the Canon MFC-235c really shines, it has 4 cartridges that fit conveniently at the front of the printer, these are little more than ink "tanks" Good quality compatibles can be purchased for as little as £6.95 total for all the four tanks including postage on Ebay. I also appreciate the fact that this printer cleans itself, as you always know that your printer will always be clean and ready to print that unexpected Fax or copying job, if that means that it uses more ink, I`m sure you can afford it, it`s cheap enough! Also the printer uses an ink dot "counter" for each cartridge, which is reset when a new cartridge is installed, this can also be reset with the software. I also found that all other...

Very Reliable Brother

Advantages: Cordless phone, quick document scanning
Disadvantages: small recording time of answering machine

...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...

Review of Brother FAX-1560

BEAST of a printer, scanner, fax & copier (phew!)

Advantages: A printer, scanner, copier and fax machine (phew!)
Disadvantages: It's heavy in size and in cost.

...What we have here is the Brother MFC-7420 Multifunction digital laser device. Try saying it in one breath. Go on, I challenge you to say it in one breath. Did you manage it? If you did then you probably deserve a medal, but then so would 'Brother' for managing to cram so many features and uses into one device. That is a challenge in itself, and I'd imagine it was far from easy to accomplish and keep the design as attractive as it is. I know what you're thinking though. You've seen plenty of other printers out there that also do copying, scanning and faxing. They may even have been a fair bit cheaper. This is true, but what this item has in its favour is the speed of the printing, the attractive design, the brand name 'BROTHER' attached to it and the hardcore feel of the product. It really does feel like something that would...

Review of Brother MFC-7420 Multifunction

Oh Brother!

Advantages: Does everything except make me a cup of tea
Disadvantages: None I can think of yet!

...order to use their fax machine but now we can do it ourselves. Another function on the faxing is that the machine can fax from file so it does not actually need a hard copy in order to get a good faax. I have not done this but my hubby did and he said that it was quite easy and the recipient got a good copy. So it does everything it says on the box. But what about ink and the cost of replenishing the ink supply? I thought that because this is a Brother 4 in 1 machine that it would be really expensive but I have been proved wrong. The printer comes with 4 separate catridges - black, blue, red and yellow. The cost over here to replace them is 10 Euros each which works out at around £7 a cartridge. So thats 40 Euros or £27/28 to replace all 4 in one go. And thats for generic Brother cartridges - there are compatible ones out there...

Brother MFC 9060

Advantages: Cheap toner, excellent quality
Disadvantages: does not like cheap copy paper to print on!

...Having recently started my own business, i was on the look out for a good value fax machine. Having had a Brother fax machine at my previous job i was impressed by its reliablilty and the cost of consumables. Whilst looking at rival fax machines, i could not find one that matched the excellent specification or price. The printer can be used as a multifunction device, however i only utilise it as a fax machine. However i have the back up that if one of my printers breaks down i can use the machine as a back up it could also be used as an emergency scanner or photocopier, although you can only feed sheets through it, so its use is limited on these points. The only slight niggle i have with the machine is that it does not seem to like my cheap copy paper that i use, and it sometimes requires that i only have one sheet in the feeder...

HE AINT HEAVY, HES MY BROTHER

Advantages: LARGE MEMORY, BUILT IN SCANNER, EASY TO INSTALL.
Disadvantages: COST, DOESNT PRINT THAT FAST.

...MY EXPERIENCE. I use a fax machine everyday in my job, I'm always faxing internal and external customers various literature and information. We did have a very old fax when i started her last in august 2003, it was very slow indeed, the pages went through about 1 every 30 seconds at times, and the paper used was the horrible fax rolls type, which got jammed up inside it every now and again, which is very annoying. So after a bit of moaning and groaning, and abit of pressure, we finally got a new fax machine, and this is what we got. The installation was so easy, plug in the mains power, then plug in the phone line, away we go, easy peasy, Obviously installation would be abit more difficult without mains power or a phone line already installed, but we didn't have this problem. Upon powering it up, we needed to put in some A...

Oh Brother, what a pile of poo

Advantages: looks like it could withstand a baseball bat attack
Disadvantages: tempremental, toner finisher is poor, cannot add up, copies at a snails pace

...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...

  Brother FAX Facts

Advantages: Combined Fax/answerphone, good paper handling
Disadvantages: Print quality only satisfactory, expensive consumables

...Our office fax machine gave up the ghost recently. It was a BT Paperjet-60, and while we had been fairly happy with it, it lasted less than two years. Wanting something a little more reliable, and being very pleased with our two Brother laser printers, we opted for a Brother T86. WHY A COMBINED FAX - ANSWERPHONE? Before the BT Paperjet 60, we owned a fax machine without an answerphone built in, and went through 5 different answerphones trying to get a combination that worked. Frequently, the answerphone would collect faxes on tape, and the fax machine would try to receive answerphone messages, or neither would work at all. In the end, we chucked the lot and opted for a combined machine. Like our previous machine, the Brother has a built in answerphone. For some reason the elctronics industry like to refer to an answerphone as...

BEST BROTHER IN THE WORLD

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: none

...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...

Review of Brother FAX-525DT

Big Brother

Advantages: A Lot
Disadvantages: Could not find any

...I had to set up an office on a shoestring. Well, actually it was in what used to be my sitting room but you know what I mean. One of the things we needed was a plain paper fax. I used to have one of those giant toilet roll jobs but that was very inconvenient with long documents and kept getting jammed up. Anyway, we bought one of these machines and it has sat between me and my partner in crime for about eighteen months. Now I will be truthful. I wasn't intending to write about this machine and had resolved that today I would just read what others had written and keep my mouth shut. But I have just had an experience with this machine that prompted me to write. It needed a new cartridge. Have you ever noticed that the ink always runs out in the middle of receiving a fax? Funny that... Now, I've changed a cartridge before on this...
