Fax Machine

Fax machine models

There are many types. A basic model will allow you to send and receive. Other models incorporate features like photocopying and scanning. Every added features increases the cost.

Print quality will vary

Print quality varies with each model and price range. Film cartridge fax machines cost less than laser cartridge models but lasers produce clearer print outputs on plain paper while film-based machines don‘t. While laser printing is more expensive as are cartridge replacements, the qualities don’t deteriorate in sunlight.

Select a model that provides a maximum range of black and white shades in grey scale for good picture quality. Some models have factory presets that automatically adjust output quality.

Buy a machine that “sleeps“

Remember that a fax machine is never off but permanently an standby mode. Buy a model that sleeps or reduces power consumption in the sleep mode. Generally the lower-end faxes all consume about the same low power amounts. But those with additional features can suck power. If this is a concern, make sure to buy a machine that has a power conservation feature.

Fax machine combos

Fax machines can be stand-alone units or perform a number of functions like photocopying, enlargement/reduction of documents, scanning and so on. Decide on the optimum mix of features that you need and then select the best model for you and your budget.
