This works great and is a great improvement from the old model. No problems with papers jamming or with it pulling in more then one paper at a time like the last one.

This is an excellent fax machine. In my home office, it replaces an HP FAX-900, which provided many years of yeoman service but finally reached the end of its useful service life. Before that, I had a thermal-printing Canon, for which, back in the day, I must have paid about ten times what I paid for this Brother unit. It's really quite astounding. You've read all the reviews. This machine delivers very high input and output quality. It's fast; it works; and consumables are affordable. I wouldn't haven't bothered you with yet another review were it not to report that the "deep sleep" issue seems to have been resolved. On my unit, at least, it is not a problem at all. All tests confirm that the machine comes out of deep sleep instantly and receives incoming faxes without missing a beat. Of course, I can't guarantee that you won't have the problem with your particular sample. I would also exhort buyers to RTFM (including the Advanced User's Guide on disk). Of particular importance, I think, is the telephone line compatibility setting (Menu, 2, 0, 1), which is actually an item in the quick setup guide. Many of you have VoIP service and don't even know it. Even if you have a traditional POTS copper pair, there might be VoIP involved in any given connection. So, if you're having problems, check that setting. There aren't a whole lot of options out there for dedicated fax machines these days. I'm really happy Brother has given me this choice.

Have always bought Brother faxes. This model would not send or receive a fax. Manufacturing quality is down from previous units. I spent 1/2 a day on Saturday trying to make it work. Brother Support only operates during business hours. This means that I would have to shut down my business for 1/2 a day to see what is wrong with it. Have returned it to Amazon.
