very easy to set up, easy to use, fast, and silent. very pleased.

Brother is a great brand, I have a Brother printer too and I knew I could get the same good use out of one of their fax machines even in my office. Advantages: The fax2840 is a quick and efficient machine that can easily cover the faxing needs of an office.

I looked at fax machines on-line at Sam's and then shopped around. I checked back and the price had dropped and I bought. The fax machine seems to be great. The shipping was very quick.

We still use fax machines at my office and these are simple and painless to setup.

Just fax nothing else, and that's what we wanted. Good product.

does not work well w/ VOip lines we get MANY poor line connections reports

It's a nice, compact unit that is extremely easy to install. I particularly like the feature that prints a confirmation page with a partial copy of the sent fax. Now I know at a glance which fax was sent, busy, not sent, etc. without having to match phone numbers!

Easy to use, all functions have step by step on screen display of what to do. Scans documents quickly for fax. Prints very clear received faxes and reports.

The Brother IntelliFax-2840 foregoes fancy features in favor of a hard-to-resist bottom line. This monochrome laser fax machine sends and receives faxes quickly and clearly, and it's adept in scanning and copying as well. Owners also describe it as easy to set up and use.

Fast; Good print quality; Easy to set up and use

Some reliability complaints; No backup memory

Works okay, replaced an older fax machine that had trouble sending/receiving over a T-Mobile mobile internet line. Main issues are the Deep Sleep which you will not receive incoming faxes, so read the other reviews on how to disable this. And the display is not backlit so hard to read.
