Full Review
This is a very good and inexpensive fax machine for the home or small buisness. It uses plain paper and the imaging film cost about $20.00 per roll. You can expect to get about two hundred sheets per roll. You can make copies as well. If you setup the machine to only print send and error reports you will not use as much film. The machine is easy to setup and easy to follow instructions that almost anyone can use. If you start at the front and follow the directions you will be up and running in no time. The price is from $49.99 to $79.00, depending on where you get it. I purchased mine from Office Depot for only $49.00 on sale.
I have used it already several times and it does an excellent job. I would recommend it to anyone for Home or Small office use.
Here are the facts and figures about this machine.
1. Automatic dialing capabilities and holds up to 30 numbers in memory.
2. Imaging Film UX-5cr is 160 ft, And gives you 150-200 pages.
3.448 kb (approx 24 pages)
4. Modem speed is 9600 bps

7. Automatic Document feeder 10 pages maximum
8. Recording system Thermal transfer recordin
9. Halftone (grayscale) 64 levels
10.Caller Id

These are the main features, You can select and setup your fax machine to print no reports, send reports only and all reports sending,reception and error.
I am veru satisfied so far with this machine and it serves my purpose. However; If you are going to be a heavy user and and have a large office I would recommend a more advanced model.
