Brother IntelliFAX-1840c Color Inkjet Fax Machine Reviews

Summary: Looking to get rid of this fax machine
Comment: I just again gave it a yellow cartridge although I've only printed black, because it wants one, and it wants another one. The one I removed I only put in last week, and it sure looks full of ink to me. This is ridiculous and I have spent a lot of money - more than the fax machine is worth - on COLOR ink when I am only receiving black and white faxes. It just won't print when it THINKS it needs more color ink! I am ready to throw it out - right now I can't get it to print without going out and buying more yellow cartridges to "try" them out, because it refuses to recognize this one as having ink.

And by the way, I couldn't find any help on the Brother site. It seems that this machine is no longer in their pull-down list. I did, however, find many unhappy reviews on the web with others having the same problems.

Summary: Color Fax
Comment: I like this machine. It's easy to use, the quality and speed are good, and the additional USB connectivity is very useful. Since I refill all my printer cartridges rather than replace them, I found the cartridges on this machine easy to refill. I'd recommend this machine.

Summary: You'll be forced to buy ink you don't use!
Comment: I have a Brother 1840C fax machine. I didn't need the color capability when I bought it, never used it and I still don't. But every day the machine "cleans" itself, using a little of the color inks. And when any cartridge is empty, the entire machine stops working. You have to buy new color cartidges even if you never use them, because the machine makes sure they're used up over a few months. I bought this machine because I thought the consumables would be appropriate. Now I'm off to the supply store to buy Cyan and Magenta just so I can print out a black and white fax. Grr!!!!

Summary: `defective
Comment: a defective machine that failed to fun ction al all-the company gave me directions to pursue that we're impossible to follow -the only bright part ofthis deal is that Amazon took back the machine without conflict ot hesitation - full postage paid and full refund.Additionaally the machine itself was "tinny",insubstattial and cheap appearing.
I bought a Canon for about thr dsme price at Best Buy-worked beautifully fron the get go-and appears a well designed and substantial machine - has some substance to it,
Thanks Amazon for trying but I would advise you to drop the line, D Macdonald

Summary: Extremely unreliable, stay away
Comment: I bought this machine for a client, and from the 2nd day, it wouldn't stop jamming. Virtually every 2nd page, it jammed. I bought different multi-purpose paper for it to no avail. I traded it in for a Sharp for the same price and have no problems now. Avoid THIS particular fax machine like the plague.
