We set up the Brother 770 quickly using the included StartCard quick-setup guide. The fax uses thermal line printing, so we flipped the control panel forward, lifted the top cover back, and dropped in the ribbon cartridge. We found the control panel uncluttered and easy to navigate. The unit also worked well for quick copies.
The unit's 512 KB of internal memory enables it to handle up to 20 typical pages, 40 two-digit coded fax numbers, and eight one-touch numbers. You can put the 770 in fax-forwarding mode to redirect your faxes and control the unit remotely while on the road. Using a touch-tone phone, you can dial into the unit, check for new faxes, and reroute them to a nearby fax machine by using your remote-access code.
The paper cassette handles up to 100 sheets, and a Sort button lets you switch between stacked and sorted multiple-page copies. Four resolution and three contrast settings let you tweak the output as much as necessary.
A quick-reference card and a pocket-size remote-functions card are nice extras included with this unit. If you need a fax on a budget that is easy to use, the IntelliFAX 770 is a good choice.

Seriously! I knew I had to buy her a machine that not only looked easy to operate but in fact was easy to operate. She had never used a fax machine before in her life...and for various reasons she had truly begun to need one. This model was exactly the answer. All buttons and controls are very clearly labeled. Messages are received with sharp clarity. And (despite the comment below!) she has yet to experience a paper jam. All in all this is an excellent machine. But why only 4 stars instead of the full 5? Because, for some reason, you can't really *request* a transmission report after faxing off a document. Instead, you can set the machine so that a report gets spit out after each and every transmission (kind of a waste of paper!) or you can choose to turn the whole report function off. Unfortunately you can't request a report for only certain transmissions. But in reality that's a minor drawback. All in all, this is a...Read more 59 of 59 people found the following review helpful:  Good machine, burns through expensive cartridges, By mister_t42 (Andover, MA) - See all my reviews This review is from: PPF775 - Brother IntelliFAX 775 Plain Paper Fax Machine - Monochrome Copier (Electronics) This machine works very well. You get good quality documents on reception, and it makes good quality copies. This machine is easy to use, and it is very reliable. For the 2 plus years I've had it, it has only jammed three times and even then it took only a second or two to clear the jam. That is thanks to a very simple paper path.The downside is two-fold for me. First, if you want to use distinctive ring to answer the pohone, this machine requires 2 full rings to determine if it should answer the call. Unfortunately, the toll-saver setting for most answering machines is 2 rings, so that the answering will answer first. Many other fax machines can be programmed to answer on the first ring. The second issue is bigger. Replacement cartridges are expenses (more than $30), so if you receive more than a few pages of fax a week be prepared to spend some money. Considering that the machine runs not much more than $100, this is expensive. And wait until you replace...Read more 52 of 52 people found the following review helpful: For the money this fax is a "work horse", By A Customer This review is from: PPF775 - Brother IntelliFAX 775 Plain Paper Fax Machine - Monochrome Copier (Electronics) I was amazed at the high quality fax output that came from this machine. It is not advertised with major bells and whistles, however, the features it does have are very nice. Don't expect to be a local 'copy' center, but for the occasional copy, it does a fine job. I would prefer an ink cartridge, but you can't have it all. |
