Four separate, high-yield ink cartridges supply optimal efficiency and a low cost per page. Built-in functions include forwarding, paging, and remote retrieval, along with delayed and batch transmission. A standard electronic cover page is sent automatically, and a 112-station auto-dialer provides plenty of room for all your frequently dialed numbers.
You can also make quick copies of your documents--up to 99 prints from a single original. The 1800C includes an answering machine interface and functions separately as a telephone, with caller ID (subscription required) and a distinctive ring for the numbers in your auto-dialer.
Brother supplies a one-year limited warranty that covers parts and service.

This enables Brother to make a lot of money on ink replacement, but doesn't necessarily present good value for endusers. Paper handling is subpar. The fax jams more frequently than other fax machines I've ever used. In short, save your money and annoyance, buy something else. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Brother PPF-1800c Plain-Paper Fax Machine (Office Product) In addition to all of the ink problems listed by the other reviewers, the print quality is not very good. It clogs constantly. If you aren't printing full color documents every day, the ink hardens in the nozzles and print quality gets worse and worse. The machine's cleaning function does nothing. Before my machine died, at the age of only 22 months, the yellow and red inks would not work at all.But wait, the worst is yet to come! These machines are terribly unreliable. Mine died. My boss's died after 2 years. My wife manages at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, which bought these machines in mass for it's stores-- and they are constantly breaking down. One day my 1800C decided to display a Machine Error 41 code. Customer support was no help. They directed me to the local Brother service center. The service tech was kind enough to warn me that Brother designed this error code to apply to half a dozen different things, ranging from the print head, to the motherboard...Read more 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: By mejia_merritt "Tiza" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews This review is from: Brother PPF-1800c Plain-Paper Fax Machine (Office Product) I bought this item 6 months ago. I have had to replace the color ink cartridges over 3 times and I don't even use it to copy or fax color documents. The worst is when it "runs out" of ink you can not even send out a black fax until you replace the cartridges.....Urghhhhhhh. the ink is $30 per cartridge (total 3color + black). The funny thing is the black has only needing changing once while all the colors have had to be changes 3-4 times!!! I only use the fax (black only) 3-4 times a week. Do not buy this machine. only plus: fast fax of documents, quality average from what I have seen in other ink jets |
