Small office buyers looking for a full-featured fax machine should consider the Brother PPF-4750E. Not only does it do an excellent job at managing incoming and outgoing faxes at very fast transmission speeds, but it can also operate as a laser printer and convenience copier when needed. All three functions get the benefit of
discount Brother toner.
The design of the machine is quite compact, though its telephone handset and large paper capacity add a little extra bulk to what would otherwise be a smaller device. It measures 17.2 inches by 21.8 inches by 20.2 inches and weighs around 30 pounds with the
printer toner from 247inktoner.com. It may be too large for very tight spaces, so users with limited space should measure first.
Faxing supports Super G3 transmission speeds up to 33.6 Kbps, which makes sending and receiving documents quicker and more efficient than many other models on the market. The 50-page automatic document feeder makes it easy to send multiple pages at once without user intervention, and the large 250-sheet input paper capacity ensures that even busy users won't have to replenish paper often.
Even though printing seems to be an afterthought, the PPF-4750E is a very capable printer as well, able to print at speeds up to 15 pages per minute and with excellent quality. Copies are fast with good quality also, but the lack of a flatbed scanner is a bit limiting.
The low cost of Brother PPF-4750E toner cartridges makes replacing toners very economical. Brother PPF-4750E toner cartridges won't need to be replaced often either, because they have capacities up to 6,000 pages each. Third-party compatible Brother PPF-4750E toner is available for an even lower cost per page.
As a fax machine, the Brother PPF-4750E is impressive, but add in its many other great features and it is a great value for the price. Printing is fast with solid output, and copying is convenient, even though it is a bit limited.
