Summary: Intellifax 770
Comment: I have owned this fax machine for two years and have never had a problem. Make sure you purchase a cartridge at the same time of your initial purchase. The machine only comes with a starter cartridge and that's only good for printing a few pages. I would definitely recommend this machine or brand to everyone. In fact, I'm buying the 775 for someone as a Christmas gift.

Summary: This is an ok product
Comment: This fax machine is ok. It is plain paper instead of that stupid fax paper that was used a while ago(and is still used in some places). When we first got it, the cartridge in it copied very light and faxed horrid. The replacment cartridge did a lot better though. It only fits the width of a normal piece of paper though. DOn't even think about coping pages stapled together. It wrinkles them and folds them and all kinds of other things. We are having problems with it not going together with our answering machine though(this is a normal phone line). We have to choose one or the other and fortunatly, we only get like 2 calls on this line a week so we can use the plain old fax and not the answering machine. The phone that comes with it is fully functional and is ok. An ok buy for a small business, but buy something else for a big business.

Summary: Good machine, burns through expensive cartridges
Comment: This machine works very well. You get good quality documents on reception, and it makes good quality copies. This machine is easy to use, and it is very reliable. For the 2 plus years I've had it, it has only jammed three times and even then it took only a second or two to clear the jam. That is thanks to a very simple paper path.
The downside is two-fold for me. First, if you want to use distinctive ring to answer the pohone, this machine requires 2 full rings to determine if it should answer the call. Unfortunately, the toll-saver setting for most answering machines is 2 rings, so that the answering will answer first. Many other fax machines can be programmed to answer on the first ring.
The second issue is bigger. Replacement cartridges are expenses (more than $30), so if you receive more than a few pages of fax a week be prepared to spend some money. Considering that the machine runs not much more than $100, this is expensive. And wait until you replace the cartridge and notice that the ribbon is wasted on dead space; e.g., receiving a blank page appears to use as much ribbon as receiving a page full of text. I wonder why they would do that?!
The moral of the story is, if you only have very low volume of incoing faxes, this could be a great machine. If not, look elsewhere.
