Great Fax & Copy Machine

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.

Good machine. Easy to use.

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.

Very good as a stand-alone fax machine

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.

Doesn't work yet

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

Great Product

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.
