Editorial Review:Product Description:The IntelliFAX 560 personal plain paper Fax, Phone and Copier stores up to 25 pages for out-of-paper reception. Features include a 10-page document feeder, 50-sheet paper tray, 54 station auto dials, convenience copying, Quick Scan, broadcasting, and a 150-page print cartridge. Automatic Fax/Telephone switching lets you receive fax and voice calls on a single line.
Amazon.com Review:The Brother PPF560 provides several services, combining a plain-paper personal fax machine with telephone and copy functions. It sports a compact design with bold, clearly marked operating features and is equipped with a convenient telephone handset. It also has a 50-page standard paper cassette tray. Additional advantages include the copy function, which lets you make up to 99 copies at a time, and the 50-number memory for automatic dialing.
We set up the Brother PPF560 in minutes without reference to the owner's manual, thanks to a simple design and intuitive operation. Still, to get the benefits of extensive features, we recommend following Brother's well-detailed instructions for programming in its thorough manual. You'll also need that information to remotely retrieve messages, pages, and faxes. We also recommend perusal of the guide for setting up the fax unit on lines with an external answering machine or with numbers that roll over. Note that phone lines using call waiting or voice mail may run into trouble operating this fax unit.
The handset is very lightweight and tapered, and the automatic fax-phone switch lets you make calls and receive faxes through the same phone line. The fax unit lets you know when you have a voice call by emitting double rings. The receiver delivers clear, clean sound. The unit supports caller ID and distinctive ring (when you subscribe through your phone service provider). The automatic document feeder can accommodate 10 pages at a time. The 16-digit LCD displays clear, bright numbers and messages. The ring volume is adjustable from mute to loud, which is fortunate, because the PPF560 has a jarring tone. The phone index for alphabetical search of stored numbers is a great convenience, as is the automatic redial, delayed transmission and hold buttons. Making copies takes the click of one button; enlargements and reductions must be keyed in. The Brother PPF560 is supported by a 90-day warranty.

Brother well worth it!
The fax machine works great! I bought the fax machine back in August 2003 and I haven't had any problems. And you can buy the roll of film cheap on the internet. So if you are considering buying this fax machine, you decided on a good choice.

Ideal for Personal Use
This is a great little machine for personal use. Very user friendly. OK, so the quality of the copies and incoming faxes is fair at best, but they're quite passable and legible, and for personal use, you really don't need any better than that. Besides, I don't make copies or receive faxes all that often, anyway. I primarily use it to send faxes, and it does an excellent job of that.
Overall, for the price, I don't think there's a better personal fax machine out there. However, although I didn't find a better price than Amazon's, I didn't get my PPF560 from Amazon. I got mine from Staples.com. Their price was only a few cents different from Amazon's, and they don't charge for shipping on orders over a certain dollar amount.

I LOVE this fax/copier!
I have had this fax machine for about two years now and have had NO problems with it what-so-ever! I am VERY impressed with this machine and think it is worth every penny. When sending a fax, you can set the resolution to normal, fine, super fine or photo. I have it set up next to my answering machine and also have distinctive ring on it. Has not once missed a fax or picked up a voice call. And, although it doesn't have a collection tray for received faxes, I have it sitting on a side coffee table (next to my answering machine) so that the faxes end up laying in front of it on the table. I've also used the copy feature on it many times and have always been impressed with it. I also bought a new toner cartridge right away as it says the one that comes with it is not full size. I have not had to replace the one I bought yet and still get perfect fax images and it is used fairly frequently.

I love this fax!
I bought this fax because every now and then I needed one and had to go use one somewhere. This is perfect for home. It's small and very easy to use. Also very easy to set up. For the price, everyone should have one.
