FAX MAX

After over two months of regular use, I am satisfied with this unit. Thanks to the reviews, I knew exactly what to expect and have not experienced any problems. We use it primarily as a message center, phone and fax. The fax quality is superb both going and coming as is the voice quality of the speaker phone. It has a neat feature of automatically cleaning the print heads every week. It might intrigue some who have not read the manual as it sounds like a fax is coming in. I told my wife that it was monitoring everything she did and was sending me a secret report. BAD! For cat owners, the clear fold-down paper support flap acts as a protective shield over the number pad to prevent the little buggers from speed dialing 911 during their midnight romps. It also keeps dust out when not in use. A few local restaurants we frequent have this unit at their register. Upon inquiring, none have mentioned a problem. The Brother IntelliFax-1960C cartridge system is certainly a giant step up from  more

Did not meet my expectations...

I have been using Brother products for several years and I must say this one was a huge disappointment...

Here's why :
1- The machine literally spits out whatever paper it is printing (whether fax, print report or photocopy) and instead of leaving it on the tray, it ends up on the floor. Bad design ?
2- Message center is faulty. As said by another reviewer, Brother can't seem to get it right because it records everything from a call. By that I mean that if the caller hangs up, the machine doesn't cut the incoming signal like it should and as most answering machines do. This is why you end up with those long tuuut-tuuuut-tuuuut-tuuuut-tuuuut-tuuut-tuuuut....or even the operator's recorded message "if you'd like to make a call, please hang up and dial again". What ? I was the one they called !
3- This one doesn't have a scanner, so forget about having an all-in-one if you choose this machine. Besides, what's the use of a colour copy option if you don't have the scanner ?
4- I found the  more

great fax for a great price

extremely simple to use while having all the features one may need, can save $$$ on inkjet cartridges (individual) especially if you buy 3rd party cartridges. found nothing negative to report so far.

Home Office Center

This product is a printer, copier, fax and answering machine. Combined with a new laptop, I now am able to do the same work at home that used to cause me to commute to the office on weekends. A bargain at Amazon's pricing!

Brother Intellifax-1960c

OOB experience GREAT! Easy to set up, simple to learn to use ... simply followed the instructions in the owner's manual, which is clear and concise. Faxing is fast, larger capacity paper tray a great feature; love the ability to copy, scan, etc. Highly recommend it! I have had two other Brother fax machines over the years, which were good. This one is markedly better in that it's memory capacity is far larger, never have run out of memory yet ... and I receive as many as 30 faxes a day while I am out of the house. Worth the extra $$$. The portable handset is a terrific feature, as well. Much prefer it to the corded hand set.
