Easy to use, never had paper jams with it

 

Easy to use, never had paper jams with it

I bought this years ago and it still works great. Easy to set up thanks to the Start-Up guide card included. I've used it to fax occasionally and make simple one sheet copies. I have never had paper jams with it. It's for personal home use, but I...

It will last you for years

We bought our Brother 770 fax machine when I started my business in 1998 and it is still going strong! I have actually purchased a few updated machines over the years. They keep breaking down, and we pull out the trusty 770 once again. This is the only...

Resolution is poor

 

Okay, so I wanted an inexpensive fax machine for very light office use. However, I was not able to preview the resolution on the faxes I receive. The resolution is SO poor that I was tempted to go back to my old HP dinosaur that you had to hand feed...

Ease of operation...a real "no-brainer." Consistently reliable

Resolution is too low to make most documents legible

Faxes being sent frequently jam

 

Faxes being sent frequently jam

This thing can't pull a piece of paper strait through no matter what. One side always pulls faster than the other, so you eventually have the paper 1) being printed at an angle and 2) jamming unless you're there to try to guide it through. Secondly,...

Constant paper jamming problems- beware

 

Constant paper jamming problems- beware

I've had this model fax for about 4 years now and have been plagued by paper jamming--very frustrating. I found it worked best with 24 lb paper but still I need a more dependable fax and cannot deal with having to clear paper jams every couple of days....

Don't have time to stand here...

 

and feed the sheets in one at a time! But, if I don't, it takes all the papers in at one time! Not a good machine unless you are only faxing one page at a time. As a Realtor, I am faxing 8 and 9 pages at once and it just doesn't work for me. Looking to...

Hard to say? Maybe price

Won't fax 1 sheet at a time, grabs all the pages at once

Brother Intelifax 770 - It works great as an occasional home fax machine.

 

I wanted a basic fax machine for my home. There are times that I need to fax, and I've been driving to town and paying $1 per page to send faxes. I just write the "to" and "from" on the sheet I'm sending, because it's nuts to pay $1 to send a whole...

Price is good esp with rebates. Works fine for light faxing

It has functions I don't need or want. Doesn't do well with multi sheets

Consumer review by:

Not the best Brother we've had, but it works.

 

This was a fairly new release at Office Depot when we got it. It works fine and hasn't had any real trouble. It just takes FOREVER to fax something or send something. We've had 2 other brother fax machines (one being one of the first ever made by...

Decent Print Quality, Makes fast copies, Not overly complicated

Takes forever to receive/send faxes, Cartrigdes aren't cheap

Good features for the price

 

Good features for the price

I'm not a fax wiz, but the quick reference chart got me through the initial setup of this machine. For incoming faxes it has worked flawlessly.... outgoing faxes can sometimes be a challenge. However, (as with most machines) if you line the paper up...
