The UXB20 from Sharp is an inkjet fax machine with some nice features and a low price tag. It has a 9,600 bps modem speed, which equates to about 15 seconds per page, and comes with a 448 KB memory, capable of holding up to 24 pages of incoming faxes if you run out of paper. The paper tray holds up to 100 pages, while a 10-page automatic document feeder makes sending multi-page faxes a snap.
The corded telephone that comes with the fax machine is ready for both caller ID and distinctive ring detection, and you can store up to 30 numbers in your speed dial directory to easily call or fax friends, family, or business associates. The UXB20 has a 392-lines/inch vertical maximum fax resolution (203 lines/inch horizontal) and is also capable of making 600 dpi copies. Documents up to 8.5 inches wide are accepted, while an EZ-NAV dial makes it easy to navigate the menu and adjust fax settings. Sharp provides a 90-day limited warranty on both parts and labor.

The Sharp UX-B20 fax machine is easy to set up, does all that I want in a fax machine, prints on plain paper, and uses an ink jet cartridge rather than the hard-to-install roll of ink film. Also, the design of the machine is the "cleanest" and most compact I've seen. The ink cartridge is expensive, about twice as expensive as a roll of ink film. However, it will last about 500 sheets whereas a roll of ink film will only last about 250 sheets. So, the cost of the cartridge is very comparable. Rolls of film are usually about half the cost of the cartridge. Half the cost, but only half the number of sheets!! I like this machine!!

I confess I don't think much of fax machines in general; they're painfully antiquated and I don't have much confidence in my transmissions -- but I'll try to separate that out from my review.
My wife needed a fax for her online retail business -- they're still a simple fact of life. This was the cheapest I could find given the rebate.
I ran out of ink quicker than I expected. There is no power switch and there doesn't seem to be a pass-through for the regular phone; I guess it's meant for a dedicated line. This necessitates a lot of cable-plugging when it's time to use it.
At one point, after about 5 months, it begun spinning its rollers and complaining of a nonexistent paper jam. After finding that there were no nearby service centers I was going to give up and find a new machine, but I found a FAQ on the Sharp site advising that I turn it on while holding down the Stop and Go keys, which worked.
