Not a fax machine

 

Look for a more rounded (all functions working) all in one unit before choosing this one!

Good printing both black & color

Worst fax machine, can't fax more than one page without problems! expensive ink

"Great software but hardware is fragile"

 

Great scanning software which allows you to scan a document page by page and then save under it in a single file.

Great software. Great printing quality.

Hardware is fragile. I had two successive repairs for broken pieces in first two years after purchase.
