Item would SEND faxes fine but would not feed the paper through properly when receiving. This began from the very first time used - Staples and Brother insisted on performing warranty work instead of replacement. FOR A NEW ITEM?? Because this is a necessity for a small business, messing around with warranty work when the product is brand new is unacceptable. Because it was new, a refund or replacement (or compromise) should have been offered - I would have taken the replacement. As a result, there will be no more Brother or Staples purchases from me. Buyer beware when purchasing such an item - validate the return vs. warranty issue no matter what you buy!

      This is a great machine. We have had two so far. The only problem is when the drum is empty and you have to buy a new one, it will cost you $120.00. The one we have now is about 3 years old and we need to buy toner and a drum and it is cheaper to buy a new machine. Wonder if they all are like that? Don't know what to do.

        Bought this for a medical practice when our Dell all-in-one went south. We love this product. With our Dell we couldn't do much, but this has so many nice features: holds a lot of paper for more infrequent refills, doesn't seem to use too much ink, never jams, is relatively quiet, saves fax numbers for easy dialing, and much more...

        The fax machine is in a common location in the office where multiple users have access, we have no complaints other than the paper tray doesn't hold the volume of paper we would like it too due to our high volume of use.

              No, this fax machine does not have a built-in answering machine. You would have to use a separate one.

          • Q:

            If a FAX call comes in, is it automatically routed to print the FAX or does someone have to manually direct the call?
            Asked on 1/14/2013 by Anonymous

            1 answer

            • A:

              The 2820 automatically determines whether a call is voice or fax. Fax printing is automatic and does not require monitoring.

              I think you meant to say "black ink", in which case, yes, it only utilizes black toner.

              If one is having trouble receiving faxes on a Brother® IntelliFAX® 2820 Laser Plain-Paper Fax, ensuring that the answering machine is plugged in to the "EXT" jack on fax machine and the main phone line is plugged into "line," may resolve some fax receiving issues.
