worst fax machine ever
To be honest this fax machine doesn't even deserve 1 star. It is by far the very worst fax machine I have ever used. You have to babysit it every time you fax something because the papers get caught up and won't feed through, or when you copy something it will do the same thing. I'm not even halfway through my 2nd ribbon spool yet and I can barely read the pages from incoming faxes or from pages that have been copied. Another problem is when you try to copy something, the pages have a tendency to feed through machine crooked, so you're constantly having to yank on the pages so they feed through and don't get hung up. Absolutely horrible machine. The phone and answering machine part work fine for me, it's just that if you want to copy or fax something, well, don't hold your breath...

Oh yeah, and did I mention I've only had this thing for less than 2 months???

Waste of my time
This machine is absolutely horrible. First thing I noticed when I took it out of the box and set it up is the cheap feel and quality of the materials especially the handset which also did not work properly. I got a lot of static from the handset making it impossible to talk on the phone. Since you need the handset to record the outgoing message for the answer machine I was not able to get a clear message recorded. But that was not the only problem out of the box, I was never able to get a single fax printed because I kept getting paper jams. The print ribbon would get rolled up with the paper and jam the machine. It was a total waste of time. Definitely not worth $180. I had the machine delivered at my office and when the secretary saw it she said "Oh no, you got a Brother, they're nothing but trouble." I only wish I would have talked to her before I ordered it.
