HP 640 Inkjet Fax Machine Reviews

Summary: Good little machine for light faxing
Comment: If you can get this machine for about 50 dollars, it's worth it for light faxing. The memory holds about 12 pages worth of documents so if you're a legal eagle who routinely sends 40 page faxes, buy something more heavy duty. But if you send and receive an occasional fax here or there, this is a nice machine with a very simple and compact design.

Print quality and speed are adequate and the machine does a decent job as a light duty copier as well. The one downside on printing is that the cartridges are expensive, about 30 dollars each and they print about 250 pages. There are no clone cartridges available that I can find. But you can find HP original cartridges on Ebay for about 15 dollars if you want to go that route.

Summary: Great Product
Comment: HP gets it right! I don't know how it would stand up to heavy use, but if you fax occasionaly, this is the one for you. Simple, even for a technically challanged dude like me. Small footprint...stores easily. I keep it in it's box and take it out when I need it. Maybe take off half a star for its hard to read display but that's it. Watch Staples and wait for a good [..] deal. I paid [..]...got [...]back !!!

Summary: Does not work with 2-line telephone system
Comment: I bought this fax machine to use at my business. I have 2 telephone lines and hooked this fax machine up to the second line. Could never get it to work properly. When the telephone rolled over to the second line if it was a voice message the fax machine would pick it up with that irritating fax noise and you could not hear the caller. Tried many configurations and could never get it to work properly. The manual does not say how to hook the fax machine up to a telephone system with 2 lines and an answering machine, and HP as has been stated before, has poor customer support.

Summary: A fine machine, but...
Comment: This machine works well, the display panel -- only 16 characters wide -- is very well designed, and the small footprint is perfect for home use.

Note, however, that it does NOT provide a speaker phone. The "Loudspeaker" button is just that - a loudspeaker, and not a speakerphone. Good for listening to voice mail, perhaps, but of no use if you want to talk.
