"Carbon Paper" results, becaue it uses "carbon paper". December 4, 2008 I purchased this item through a "special deal" very cheap. I've read several of the comments about the machine, but there's one thing that I don't see explained, and I wish I had known about it before I had made my purchase.
This is indeed a "plain paper" fax machine. But it does NOT use "toner" or an "ink cartridge". It uses a "ribbon". What they call the "ribbon" is actually a looooong sheet (spool) of carbon paper (or something like it) on a roll. The number of pages you receive equals the length of "carbon paper" which will be used, no matter if the entire page is filled with print, or only two lines. I've also seen people complain about the quality. Again, I remind you that the machine uses "carbon paper" and you should expect "carbon paper" type results. Personally, I'm not looking for great detail in the faxes I'm receiving anyway, so it's fine. Though I rarely receive faxes, and mostly just send them, it's still going to use-up the roll of "carbon paper" when the machine is unsure if the fax you were sending to received the fax you were sending. . . because it prints-out a notice. Printing-out a notice takes-up one page on your "carbon paper". I have read where some people have said that they rolled the carbon paper back onto the spool, so that they could get more use out of it. Well, the risk with that is that if you're receiving an important fax, and it happens to be at the place on the spool where another fax came through. . . then you're probably not going to be able to read your important fax because the "carbon paper" spools were meant to be used once, and there's not going to be any "ink" left for the machine to print. The reason that this machine is so cheap is not because it's a bad machine. . . but because you're going to have to keep purchasing the rolls of "carbon paper".
I think, in the end, you have to look at the overall cost. Compare the cost of this machine, along with having to purchase the rolls of "carbon paper", and then compare it to a fax machine which uses toner or an ink cartridge and see. . . price wise. . .which is going to work best for you. If you're only sending faxes, and never receive, then you and re-roll the "carbon paper" after it runs out from printing notices, and you should be fine.
Fax and Phone November 29, 2008 I use this as an extra phone and also used as a fax which I don't use that often. The buttons are touch tone and easy to use. However, don't hold ones finger down too long or it repeats the same number. We attached an answering machine. I recomend the product for home use.
Best Fax Ever! November 27, 2008 Okay, I bought this fax machine to replace an old dinosaur fax I had since forever!! Hands down, this was the best minimal investment I ever made. I don't know how I lived without this handy little workhorse! It sends and recieves faces and it also makes black and white photocopies. I paid less than $30 dollars for this Brother 575 Fax and that included shipping. It came with ink pre installed and works beautifully. A real bargain!!
Fax Machine November 26, 2008 Great product for the home owner that needs to fax a couple times a day. What a bargain, I think they were buying these and selling them on other auction sites. The other really important thing about this product is the replacement roles are very cheap.
EASY SET UP - GREAT PRICE - 5 STARS November 23, 2008 I am very impressed by the Brother FAX575 home fax machine. It's hardly a workhorse but great for a few sheets in or out. The set up was amazing ... literally minutes. The instructions walks you through exactly what buttons to push in order. The price was great. Our all in one printer kept jamming constantly with anything more than one sheet so having this dedicated fax will keep our blood pressure down. It has a built in phone and caller ID display. Seriously what more can you ask for??? I give this 5 stars because it deserves it.
