Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you need a dedicated fax machine for a small or medium sized off then the Brother 2800 may be just the right choice. It is a solid performer that offers a low cost per page and includes pretty much every feature that you would need in a black and white fax machine.
Nowadays it is not particularly sexy to "just" be a fax machine, but in many situations you are better off having a fax machine seperate from your copy machine, seperate from your printer. At our 20 person office that is certainly true. We had a multifunction machine and it was used to much which created lots of complexity for those of us sharing it. LInes waiting for a fax to be received so we could print, waiting to make copies while a long document is printing, and confusion over how to install and setup access for everyone's PC.
We tried to find a less expensive standalone machine but could not find one that seemed well buiilt and cost effective. The color fax machines are ink jet based and cost a lot more per page. My experience with inkjets is that they also require more maintenance. The Borthe 2800 has a straight through paper path which has not jammed for us, and we've had no issues with paper feeding.
I think that for a really small office of 1-5 people that a multi-function unit makes sense, but for anything larger you need seperate machines. If that's the case, the Brother machine is a good choice in fax machine with its laser output, high paper volume, full feature set, and relatively simple interface.

A solid laser-fax machine at an accessible price, the 2800 zips out 10 pages per minute, printing on standard plain paper. Its price makes it ideal for home office use--finally, an affordable alternative to thermal transfer or ink-jet machines for those of us in small offices.
The 14.4K modem, integrated telephone handset, fax forwarding, paging and remote retrieval, 108 auto-dial locations, and broadcasting to up to 158 locations all combine to make the 2800 an impressive value. The 2800 is compatible with call waiting/caller ID and distinctive ring. Other features include a 20-page automatic document feeder and a 200-sheet paper tray, accommodating both letter and legal-size paper.
