It is high speed! I like how easy it is to use. I did take a minute to realize you didn't have to put the "1" in front of the number! Set up was simple!

This unit works very well. Very disappointed in the small screen size that's very difficult to read because it's not lit!

I really like my new IntelliFax-2840 fax machine & copier. I was provided with great set-up directions and it was a breeze (even with a VoIP & Google phone line). I've had the fax machine for a few months and have never had an issue with it.

A good machine for FAX and Copying documents. Easy to use. It is cheaper than going to stores to have many pages of documents faxed. Happy with the purchase.

LCD window on this newer model fax machine is extremely difficult to read, even after making contrast adjustments. The LCD window on our 16-year-old Brothers fax machine was excellent and I fully expected a new machine model would be better, not worse. Otherwise, printing quality is very good. We use this on a dedicated fax line just for sending/receiving faxes as we have several other printers connected to our computers for printing and copying. As a stand-alone fax machine, it is very good -- except for the poor quality LCD window.

Professional machine that will last a long time. Believe it or not I still use fax technology. The Brother Inteelifax is the one for me. Get one while supplies last.

I have not been able to send or receive a fax. I have been out of my office a lot but, when I did call for help, I was kept on the line so long that I had to give up. I don't have the time to go back to it just now but I do need technical support

The product comes with good features and is very easy to use. It started giving transmission problems but was replaced by Brother even two months after the warranty had expired. Thanks for Brother Staff especially to Richard.

I purchased this for my husband, whose ancient Brother FAX finally gave out. This one exceeded our expectations, from ease of setting it up (I'm 84 and no tekkie to how user friendly and high quality its features are. Husband still in business, and during this pandemic, it has gotten lots of use. Thank you, Brother.

We replaced an older Brother fax we had for many years. The new fax was so much faster and easier to use that we didn't even need the manual. It really made that big a difference.
Super fast and great with large faxes.
