does this fax machine come with an ink cartridge or do I have to buy with it?

Comes with one. But the machine stopped working before the ink was even gone.

Yes. This came with all the cartridges. I like this printer alot. It prints quickly and handles most of my small business needs. It does shut down to cool off if you try to push it too hard. (I was printing about 1,000 pages the other day.) The quality is great, and I am saving a ton of money on going to a printer for color prints.

It does come with ink. You need to install the software to scan multiple pages. That took me a while to figure out as I don't like to read directions.

No, as far as I can figure out from the instructions, it doesn't have fax capability. You can scan things in and email them, but I know that's not the same. In terms of the rest of the functions, I absolutely love this printer. It prints great 4 x 6 pictures, makes nice, clear copies, and prints like a regular printer. The ink cartridges seem to last longer than I expect them to, and are easy to change.

Yes, it comes with converter, but my preference is to use the ink cartridges.

Same as the other two respondents. We found cheaper ink from Cartridge World (remanufactured toner and ink), and also Lasertonerdeals.com. Some setup items you can complete with the Dell software on the computer. Yes, need a landline for Fax. It has a sleep setting to save energy....Can make the print response slow sometimes.

it does. It comes with an ink cartridge. I just used the refillable cartridges so I can use my own ink.

It comes with an ink cartridge with a small amount so you probably should order an additional ink cartridge i

Thanks. Printer arrived and I'm all set up; had an extra USB on hand.Seems like some printers don't include the ink now. Like everything, you're charged the same, if not more, and get less in the box.

I believe comes with a starter cartridge; is compatible with my MAC OS 10. But - I do not recommend this printer. It jams more than it prints.

If you order a new unit, yes the cartridge comes with the printer, but once the cartridge runs out, you can't get a replacement cartridge.

Yes it comes with a cartridge- you need to clean it at least once a month- the cartridges usually are good for a year. The appear has a coating that wears off making the cartridge less effective over time

It does come with the cartridge, but I would suggest that you purchase several as they are smaller and likely to run out quickly if you do a lot of writing.

As I recall (I've slept since then)....it does come with ink cartridges but you might need to buy a printer cable? Although we did purchase new cartridges fairly soon after buying the unit so thee cartridges are probably not filled all the way. What do you expect for under $40?. :)

It doesn't use an ink cartridge, it uses a ribbon instead. The ribbon in the machine when it arrives is good for aprox. 30 copies of pages or fax reports. I haven't yet to change the ribbon as I use the machine mainly as fax machine and don't require the fax reports. It works as a copy machine nicely. I hope that this info helps.

The printer ships with ink cartridges, but since you always need to have replacement cartridges on hand you might as well order them right away.
