Works as advertised:
Bought this to replace an ink jet fax/printer and before that a film based fax. I'm hoping that the cost of consumables will be lower. I have bought a number of Brother printers and faxes in the past and have been happy with their build quality and performance.
Reasonable office fax machine:
Purchased for an office that receives and sends less than 500 faxes per month. Setup was easy. Fax quality it reasonable. Drum replacement costs, while substantial, are less then competitors.
Does Not Work, THREE TIMES OVER:
I contacted Brother support to get the machine replaced due to the issues with my original machine. Support was extremely helpful and overnighted a new machine and was *supposed* to include a return shipping label to return the previous machine. They did not. To top it off, the new machine still did not work. The document feeder still picks up multiple pages at once. So, they sent me another machine, again without a return label. The new machine has no LCD display....as in whoever built the machine forgot... more info
