Brother IntelliFax-2800 Plain Paper Laser Fax

If you need a dedicated fax machine for a small or medium sized off then the Brother 2800 may be just the right choice. It is a solid performer that offers a low cost per page and includes pretty much every feature that you would need in a black and white fax machine.

Nowadays it is not particularly sexy to "just" be a fax machine, but in many situations you are better off having a fax machine seperate from your copy machine, seperate from your printer. At our 20 person office that is certainly true. We had a multifunction machine and it was used to much which created lots of complexity for those of us sharing it. LInes waiting for a fax to be received so we could print, waiting to make copies while a long document is printing, and confusion over how to install and setup access for everyone's PC.

After going through 2 panasonic fax machines and having to but cartridgres every 7-10 days this fax machine was a godsend the toner that came with my machine lasted for about 4 months and I receive faxes on a daily basis.

The images that you send and receive are so quality that my job called me because they could tell I had brought a new machine. I would recomend this machine to anyone with a small business or who works from home because the quality is great. It cost a little more but it well worth it.
