Summary: Great Budget Fax
Comment: After going through numerous faxes that have had jamming, feeding, or double-feeding issues I came across this one on the recommendation of an attorney who has had one in service for years and sends/receives multiple faxes daily (no idea why he doesn't use a higher end model).
At the time I bought this I was faxing 10+ page documents several times per week and this chugged through like a machine. Since that point my needs are simplified, I fax or receive faxes at most once or twice a month and I'd rather have a machine on hand. It integrates perfectly with my separate phone system/answering machine (consumer multi wireless handsets with base). This is the first fax I have ever owned that I can absolutely depend on. If someone is going to fax me something, it is there on hand and I know it will go through perfectly. If I'm sending a 12 page document, I can walk away and I know it will feed and print me my confirm (still can't make myself walk away after going through many previous fax hells but it has never failed me in over 3 years of use). And I am writing this because I just faxed a 12 pager with 3 different paper types some of which were thicker/thinner and a subset had moderately different margins and it handled them without hesitation or error.
Bottom line, if you need or would like a fax for home or small office and don't want to spend much but expect the thing to work, after going through 3 different models this is the only one I can recommend.

Summary: Frustrating paper jammer
Comment: Never been more disappointed in a fax before...and never had the problems this one has given with other machines. Most faxes sent are only 1 page but it is almost guaranteed that it will take several attempts, lots of luck, and several minutes on average to get a fax through without it being jammed, turned sideways, or just plain not going through. If a negative 5 star rating were available, that's where this one would belong...bummer.

Summary: Decent Machine - Used in Restaurant...
Comment: I have used a 1270e in one of my restaurants for 2 1/2 years now, and it continues to chug through. We do not fax a lot, but we send copies of the menu to folks, and we receive faxed in orders, so they both need to be readable.
Yes, I dislike the old ribbon roll that it uses for ink, but they can be found cheaply enough, plus we usually flip the cardboard rolls around, cut the notches in the end so they will fit backwards (instead of trying to re-roll them), and reuse them, thus saving money.
This thing is in a greasy environment that puts it to a test (it sits by our chip fryer - we are a southwestern/mex grill) and gets totally covered in grease, but keeps right on printing.
Phone on it works ok for those times when we have to talk to someone that is dialing the fax by mistake. Has a few memory dial numbers in it which is nice.

Summary: Another fax with sending problems
Comment: I have only used this fax for about 2 months and it does a terrible job sending. I don't fax a lot, maybe 2-10 pages per day. It always jams and has trouble feeding my faxes through, irritating!!

Summary: What happened with the price?
Comment: I saw it on sale for $53.39, next day the price went up. I told my friend about the price, he gave me a check for me to go ahead and buy the item since he does not have a computer. When I came home to purchase it, the price was WAY UP to $89 ??? What's up with that~!???
