Brother IntelliFAX 2820 desktop fax machine

Date Published: 5/3/06

If you have wondered whether the days of thermal printouts and curled fax messages are truly over, you'll have to look no farther than the IntelliFAX 2820 desktop fax machine from Brother. This sub-$200 unit offers laser-print quality and a solid list of features that very few other desktop fax machines can match.

The IntelliFAX 2820 can send faxes at speeds up to 10 ppm, and it can hold up to 500 pages in memory if the 250-sheet paper tray runs out of paper. This desktop fax machine includes a 20-page automatic document feeder, which is a handy feature for sending multi-page documents. The IntelliFAX 2820's 203X392 lines per inch maximum resolution yields outstanding laser prints.

As with all desktop fax machines, the IntelliFAX 2820 offers basic copying functions. This unit also can be used as a very basic printer with a Windows computer, but it doesn't have enough printer features to rely on it as your only printer.
