BrotherFAX-565 Plain-Paper Fax Machine

This is my first FAX machine. I bought it just as a convenience (home use) item. I don't get or receive that many faxes or make copies but running back & forth to the bank & library to FAX or copy something was always a chore. Then I came across this baby at Amazon.com for $59.95 w/free shipping & a $30.00 rebate and ONE YEAR WARRANTY: how could I go wrong? And I was NOT disappointed. It does just what I need without all the bells, whistles & hoopla some of the other machines do. It's compact, nice looking, easy to set-up & use (even for me). Read the instruction manual FIRST as I did & everything will go smoothly. For $30.00 I may buy a couple for Christmas gifts (better than a toaster....). Some of the other reviews were negative in that the copies "were not the best", but I have no complaints. They're readily readable & suitable for home use. As for me, I'm satisfied. Some say you only get what you pay for but in this case it is A REAL BARGAIN.......

Love this brand, looked new but could not read screen to set it upSeller is denying refundI asked for s return label snd they wont send, they are ignoring meI bought $345 worth of a product I can’t useI filed a claim and they denied itDO NOT BUY FROM THEM- YOU WILL BE CHEATED

This model is pretty old and uncomfortable for use. However, it can make copies and send and receive faxes.Caller ID screen changes every second and makes it hard to see the number.I have Panasonic phone and use fax for its direct work only. It does it.

Machine is easy to set up; limited options but sufficient for my needs. However, though resolution can be adjusted for outgoing faxes (standard/fine/extra-fine), this is not possible for incoming faxes, and I find the 400x400 dot-matrix printout unreadable in many cases for work purposes (eg, trying to decipher phone numbers). Probably good if details are not essential, but if they are, get a machine with better print resolution.

We gave our old fax macine to my dad and definately needed another. I came across this one on Amazon w/ free shipping and a nice rebate. It's not top of the line, or it wouldn't be so economical, but for the price, it is just fine! I found the printer refills, also on Amazon, for an awsome price as well. You get what you pay for. If you just need a fax for home, mostly for sending ,or making the occasional copy ,and receiving the occasional fax, and you're on a tight budget, this is the machine for you! Have a blessed day!

In order to work out of my home, I needed a simple fax so I dont have to go to an office to pick up or send paperwork. I literally plugged it in & was receiving/sending faxes w/ minimal confusion. Anyone who is giving low scores for quality ...what the heck to you expect? Titanium parts? I would rather have the less expensive parts with a less expensive price. Its your choice as the consumer.I am extremely pleased! If I have any problems in the future with this fax, I will be sure to post again.

All I wanted was a simple plain paper fax machine to handle basic fax and copy functions for medical records, insurance papers etc. Instead, what I got was the most primitive, frustrating piece of technology ever developed by man. It is as if the designers purposefully built this machine to drive people mad? Is it possible that Brother designed this machine to exact revenge against America for WWII?Have any of you ever seen the movie Office Space? There is a scene where the disgruntled workers kidnap the office fax machine, take it to a deserted field and give it the beat down with their feet and baseball bats. That is what is going to happen to this fax machine. It is the most frustrating POS I have ever seen. If you have a nemesis and/or mortal enemy, give them this fax machine as a gift, it is guaranteed to drive the recipient insane.It is not as if I am some sort of Luddite, I have worked for many years in the high-tech arena but this thing always pulls the paper through sideways and it is virtually impossible to replace the "cartridge." In fact, the cartridge is actually some sort of scroll device that appears to have been developed in the Middle Ages.Want to fax more than one page at a time--forget it. This machine is designed to eat your documents, that's right, it lives by gorging itself on your precious papers.As for the copy function, well, if you baby-sit EVERY piece of paper that goes through the feeder you might get some crappy quality copies IF the feeder doesn't ingest your entire document.I guess you get what you pay for and if you love frustration, hassle and poor quality then you will love this POS.

I am very satisfy with my Brother 565 fax machine.wouldn't want to own no other one.I recommended this fax machine to anyone
