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. Review: Nice Printer - For several years now I've been getting by with cheap fax machines but when my last one ( a cheap HP) just died after barely a year I decided to spend a little more money and hopefully get something that will last. And so far this one is working really good, the print quality is really good, much better than my previous fax machine and it prints fairly fast, 2.5 seconds per page. It was fairly easy to hook up and only took a few minutes for me to have it up and running and this was with a few telephone interruptions Also while it does come with everything that you need to get started you're probably going to want to order an extra toner cartridge right away, the one that comes with it is only a starter and if you receive a lot of faxes you might just find yourself without any toner. I'll update this review after I've had more time to use the printer. ## Features - Adjustable 250-sheet capacity paper tray - 33.6K bps modem, approx. 2.5 sec/page transmission - 20-page capacity auto document feeder - 16MB memory (400 pages) with dual access - Up to 272 broadcast locations, 222 station auto dialing ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008OG5W3M | | Additional Printer Functions | Fax | | B&W Pages per Minute | 30.00 | | Best Sellers Rank | #88,128 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #102 in Laser Computer Printers | | Brand | Brother | | Built-In Media | IntelliFax-2840 High-Speed Laser Fax; Starter Toner Cartridge; DR420 Drum Unit; Telephone Line Cord; Telephone Handset; Handset Curled Cord; User fts Guide; Quick Setup Guide; Documentation CD-Rom; AC Power Cord | | Color | Dark/light gray | | Color Depth | 1 bpp | | Compatible Devices | Laptops, PC | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Control Method | Touch | | Controller Type | Push Button | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,536 Reviews | | Display Type | LCD | | Dual-sided printing | No | | Duplex | auto | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Ink Color | Dark/light gray | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 14.6"D x 14.7"W x 12.2"H | | Item Type Name | Brother BRTFAX2840 IntelliFax High-Speed Laser Fax | | Item Weight | 19.8 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Brother Printer | | Maximum Copy Resolution Black and White | 2400 x 600 dpi | | Maximum Copy Speed Black and White | 21 ppm | | Maximum Media Size | 8.5 x 14 inch | | Maximum Print Resolution Black and White | 2400 | | Maximum Sheet Capacity | 250 | | Model Name | 2840 | | Model Number | FAX2840 | | Model Series | 20 | | Number of Trays | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Auto Document Feeder | | Output sheet capacity | 250 | | Paper Size | Letter or Legal | | Print media | Paper (plain) | | Printer Connectivity Type | USB | | Printer Output Type | Monochrome | | Printer Type | Laser | | Printing Technology | Laser | | Processor Count | 1 | | Resolution | 2400 x 600 | | Scanner Type | document | | Series Number | 28 | | Special Feature | Auto Document Feeder | | Specific Uses For Product | home office | | Total USB 2.0 Ports | 1 | | Total Usb Ports | 1 | | UPC | 012502632740 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1-year limited warranty | | Warranty Type | limited warranty | | Wattage | 1080 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Brother - **Color:** Dark/light gray - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Item Weight:** 19.8 Pounds - **Max Printspeed Monochrome:** 30.00 - **Model Name:** 2840 - **Printer Output:** Monochrome - **Printing Technology:** Laser - **Product Dimensions:** 14.6"D x 14.7"W x 12.2"H - **Special Feature:** Auto Document Feeder ## Images ![FAX-2840 High Speed Mono Laser Fax Machine, Dark/Light Gray - FAX2840 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MiNdRLVeL.jpg) ![FAX-2840 High Speed Mono Laser Fax Machine, Dark/Light Gray - FAX2840 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-eP0SrW7L.jpg) ![FAX-2840 High Speed Mono Laser Fax Machine, Dark/Light Gray - FAX2840 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Omo1nRkVL.jpg) ![FAX-2840 High Speed Mono Laser Fax Machine, Dark/Light Gray - FAX2840 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61EMyHOKMeL.jpg) ![FAX-2840 High Speed Mono Laser Fax Machine, Dark/Light Gray - FAX2840 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Ebfy7FIGL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: It seems like a change was made to fix the "deep sleep" issue. If you bought between 9/2013 and 12/2013, how are things going?** A: After dealing with an HP inkjet fax in my restaurant that kept jamming and having dried up ink from, I decided I needed a compact laser that would fit in the allocated area.This fit the bill, except that it was white and every other piece of equipment in the area was black.Once I unboxed the unit, I used masking tape to cover the black areas and any open electronics. Using a simple flat black can of spray paint, I was able to make it all black. Nobody can tell it was painted even when I point it out to them. First problem fixed.I have had the unit for about 7 months and it has performed flawlessly. It even uses the same toner as a wireless Brother printer I have which is a bonus as well. This past week of course, I encountered the DEEP SLEEP curse that so many people speak of. The machine will do half a ring and act weird, but will not receive faxes. After some research and playing around, there is a solution, even though Brother has decided to hide the feature.You ARE able to disable DEEP SLEEP.Go to General Settings, Ecology, Sleep Mode. When it asks you to change the time before sleep, simultaneously press the START and DOWN ARROW buttons. You will now get the hidden option to Disable DEEP SLEEP mode. Disable it and enjoy your fax for many years to come. **Q: Does this BROTHER FAX2840 have a toner and drum unit as part of the purchase, or do I have to purchase all 3 separately??** A: It came ready to go. The toner lasted about 3 months (light to medium usage). have not had to replace the drum yet... **Q: Can this machine be set up to only fax out? We don't want incoming faxes on it, thx!** A: You can read the manual or unplug the phone when not in use **Q: what cartridge does it use?** A: Brother TN450 which handles 1200 copies or Brother TN450 High Yield Black Toner which handles 2600 copies ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly What I Wanted *by F***N on September 27, 2015* This is an excellent fax machine.
