Summary: Paper grabbing, ink-toner eater
Comment: I've had the B740 for a while. It does a fast job of sending out FAXes. It switches nicely between phone & FAX. Goes through the Canon toners like a binge eater. It has two problems that are making me search for another brand or model as I add a FAX to another location: 1) the paper feeding is not even. The machine grabs two piece of paper at once no matter how careful I am, so I often have to fax items more than once. 2) When you dial and get a busy signal, the machine redials. There is no way to cancel the FAX in between its redialing. You have to catch it during the redial. If you have the wrong number, heaven help the person at the other end of the line. The incoming copies are so-so.
This time I'm going for a laser printer and figure I'll save on the cartridges over time.

Summary: Where is the waste paper basket?
Comment: Having had a $600 dollar machine and going to this Canon copier was a horrible experience. Going through the functions was a bad experience, the product was difficult to work and I am an electrical engineer. I read from someone else that you will go through print cartridges like toilet paper, oh my god, he was right.
Now if I use my laser paper to print a fax that is two pages forget about trying to get it through the fax, not a chance. One page is ok, but if I do two pages I must copy it in my copier that uses thinner paper.
When I am finally ready to purchase a REAL fax I will give this machine to someone I hate. Whoever gave this four stars must not use it for business...

Summary: Works great!
Comment: We like this machine! and use it in our church/school office. One touch receiving for incoming faxes on our phone line. Depending on your usage, the black ink cartridge is small but we used ours for about 3 months before it ran out. (a larger black cartridge is available, if you don't use color).
Set up took a bit of time but there are detailed instructions. The manual is very good.

Summary: I like it
Comment: I've had this for a few months and use it for occasional FAXing. I decided to pay the extra money to get an inkjet instead of the cheaper thermal printers, mainly because I read that thermal cartridges don't last long and replacements are expensive (i.e. you get the machine cheaper up front, but over the long term it costs more). Since the B740 uses the same ink wells as some of Canon's bubble printers, I also figured it'd be easier to get replacement ink wells a few years down the road.
The machine does what it's supposed to do and I've been happy with it so far. Setup was a slight pain, although a call to Canon support took care of that. Overall the manual is good. Note that the machine has a copy mode which is useful for the occasional copy.

Summary: Good FAX, too little ink
Comment: I've been using this fax machine for three months. It performs well, but the black cartridge holds too little ink.

Editorial Review for Canon FaxPhone B740 Color Fax Machine:
The FAXPHONE B740 goes far beyond conventional fax performance and helps you achieve an exceptional level of professionalism, quality and productivity. Its built-in 14.4 Kbps fax speed transmits black and white documents at approximately six seconds per page - up to 50% faster than typical 9600 baud machines. And Canon's Drop Modulation Technology helps reproduce plain-paper documents in crisp black and white and spectacular color - whether you're communicating with computers or other color-capable fax machines or simply making high-quality color copies at the push of a button.The FAXPHONE B740's compact, industrial design looks great - and fits easily on any desktop. But its real advantage is its ability to make high-quality color faxing and copying simple. Load up to 100 sheets in the paper tray and up to 20 pages in the Automatic Document Feeder - and fax or copy at the touch of a button. A 42-page memory stores documents in case you run out of paper. And a 112-number speed dial gives you push-button convenience. You can even reduce image size when copying. An easy drop-in loading system makes replacing ink cartridges a snap. And for superb quality, the FAXPHONE B740 combines a multi-nozzle printhead with Canon's exclusive Drop Modulation Technology, which reduces image graininess and produces smoother color gradations. When copying at 360 dpi resolution, you get high quality at high speed.
