Sharp UXP115 Phone/Fax/Copier

 (13 customer reviews)

This machine is great for very basic of needs and for people who fax and copy occassionaly. Saying that, I fax and copy only a few times per month and after a month of use I experienced paper jams frequently and the imaging film just ripped as it is very thin. The ease of use is great and it has other features that are nice. But if you require a tad bit better quality, I would say go with something else.

For a low cost and efficient fax, this is the machine to buy. I must note that I do not run a business from home so I do not have a need for high volume faxing, but occassionally I have the need to send or receive a fax and find it convienant to have this in the home. It was affordable, compact and does the job. Changing the printing film (ink) is a bit tricky, but only an occassional nuisance. I got mine at a rock bottom bargain price which made it all the better.

The people who wrote the positive reviews for this must work for Sharp. I trusted the reviews and ordered a machine. What a mistake! I've had it for only a month. I was able to make less than 20 copies on the machine before the ink roll ran out. The ink roll is a sheet of what is like the old fashioned mimmeograph sheets our teachers used to make copies, loosely rolled on a cheap plastic cylinder. It's hard to load and feels like it could easily rip. I would never recommend this machine to anyone!!!
