Brother IntelliFax 2820 Laser Fax Machine and Copier: Does this fax have speakerphone feature?

This machine is NOT a heavy duty fax. Have had it for just about a year and have had the roller fixed 3 times during this time. Have now purchased a Brothers 4100E. The cost to repair the old one could have paid for the new one. Live and learn.

Sorry James, I haven't used it but I believe it is only used for faxing. Rick

To use the fax feature you have to make sure the printer is hooked up to a dedicated telephone landline. Fax does not work over the wifi feature.

Yes, absolutely, this model does have fax capability. I've used it to fax several times over the years. I'm so thrilled with this device that when it finally wore out, I bought the exact same model.

In case your question hasn't been answered, yes, it does have speakerphone.

Apparently it is true. I've got this model and have a very important fax sitting in memory waiting for ink. It won't do anything when this message is on the lcd. So irritating.

YES! In fact it is my favorite part of this machine. You plug in a phone line and tell it to share the line. There is no separate line needed. The phone rings to receive calls and when a fax comes in the phone rings and the printer turns on and receives the fax. So much easier than other machines I have used. Faxing is just as easy. Put it in the scanner. Select fax function, put in your number and press OK. All done.

No, this product does not contain a built-in answering machine. Another answering machine on the same line can interfere with receiving faxes, depending on how you have the line and the machine set up. I subscribe to what my local phone company calls "signal ring." There is one phone line, but two phone numbers, each number with its own distinct ring. This fax machine can be set to respond to a distinct ring so that it will automatically pick up when it senses that particular ringing pattern. I use one number for my fax and the other number for my regular phone calls, and I set the fax to answer after only one ring so the answering machine won't interfere with its answering faxes.

sorry - can't answer this question. I only used the modem for internet connection - not faxes.

Fax works fine, it will give you the option to print or not. also works with distinctive ring tone if you have the machine connected to one phone line. Wi-fi work great as well. Excellent value for the price.

Yes it does but I had to connect it. With cd use. Not plug and play. Works good but the fax picks up in the middle of calls sometimes. And not the best with cards or anything thick. But prints from any phone or computer easily.

Actually, your fax machine has 2 rj11 jacks, one for your house/apt wall jack and the other for a telephone. Assuming your DSL service provides telephone service as well, you can plug the 2wire dsl modem to the wall, then plug the GE Duplex to the 2wire dsl modem, and then plug your printer/faxmachine "to the wall" jack to one of the 2 jacks on it. You should have one more free jack on the GE Duplex splitter, since you can use the printer/faxmachine's "to the telephone" jack for your phone if you need to...Good Luck !

sorry, I haven't set up the fax part yet. I have a fax machine, so haven't bothered with this part of the Brother, though I really like this machine.

Yes, the Brother PPF4750E Intellifax comes with a drum and toner. Our first Brother lasted for 10 years and we love this product. We bought a new one about 2 years ago.

No, the fax works like an incoming call. It is a very good machine that covers all bases. We are the owners of a small business and this is perfect for us!

No, it depends on the service provider for voip and most do not seem to support faxing to a fax machine, but instead by email and such. I am not sure why Obi supports faxing if they do not have a partner capable of delivering it. It worked with google voice, but google will stop supporting the obi device 5/15/2014. Avenel does not support it and it is the only real partner of Obihai.http://www.anveo.com/faq.asp?#fax

This fax machine does not have printing capabilities. It can copy and fax. That's it.
