Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Brother IntelliFax-1960c Color Inkjet Fax with 5.8 GHz Cordless HandsetCustomer Review: Did not meet my expectations... Summary: 2 Stars
I have been using Brother products for several years and I must say this one was a huge disappointment...
Here's why :
1- The machine literally spits out whatever paper it is printing (whether fax, print report or photocopy) and instead of leaving it on the tray, it ends up on the floor. Bad design ?
2- Message center is faulty. As said by another reviewer, Brother can't seem to get it right because it records everything from a call. By that I mean that if the caller hangs up, the machine doesn't cut the incoming signal like it should and as most answering machines do. This is why you end up with those long tuuut-tuuuut-tuuuut-tuuuut-tuuuut-tuuut-tuuuut....or even the operator's recorded message "if you'd like to make a call, please hang up and dial again". What ? I was the one they called !
3- This one doesn't have a scanner, so forget about having an all-in-one if you choose this machine. Besides, what's the use of a colour copy option if you don't have the scanner ?
4- I found the wireless phone to be less accurate than the corded one on my previous model, the 2440. Besides, I have issues with all the wireless phones because they "die" when the electricity goes out and they do not grant you any "reasonable expectation of privacy". Without getting into too many details, the fact is that anybody with a little skill can hook up to your conversation in all impunity. Not a problem if you don't care, but if you are in the middle of a contract discussion or talking to a client, you might think twice about using a wireless, just in case.
In short, I got this model because it is a Brother, because of its reasonable price, its compact aspect, and the advertised savings on cartridges because they are separated from each other (machine supposedly doesn't stop working if one cartridge is empty, still have to find out if it is true though). I returned it because of the 4 negatives after two weeks of use.
