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. –Barbara PricePros:

Nice machine for personal or small home office use.
We’ve used this for about 2 months now and have been very satisfied. It was very easy to set up and we have had no problems with it. We have it set up with a “distinctive ring” feature so we can have both a voice number and a fax number on the same physical phone line. It has had no problem handling this and it has always been able to tell a fax call from a voice one. We also have an answering machine, PC Modem, cordless phone, and credit card terminal all hooked up to the same physical line as this fax machine and have no conflicts or problems. The footprint is very small which is nice if you’re running out of deskspace.The print quality is OK. We use to have an inkjet based fax machine and it was better.When your comparing prices on these machines, be sure to add the cost of a replacement cartridge to the purchase price of this one (…)The cartridge that comes with it is only good for about 20-30 pages. I get that much junk fax in a couple of weeks. If you decide to buy this one, get a spare cartridge also.We use this in a home office set up and only get a few of faxes a day. If you have high volume fax needs, this may not be the machine for you. It’s slow and I’m not convinced that it would hold up very long under high-volume situations.

very good machine
I bought the first one about 15 years or so ago. It still works, but would only except 5 or 6 pages to fax at one time. I got tired of standing there feeding them through that way so I searched out the exact same model and got this new one. I unplugged the old and plugged in the new and was faxing within 1 minute. I highly recommend for home or small business.

It’s ok but after years with a Canon Multifunction, I must admit I am spoiled.
It has no catcher for the ADF or received faxes. The paper holder for the ADF is scrawney. I was an idiot & did not read really anything. It takes rolls of carbon paper for printing (which I’ve not had to do – I have another printer) as opposed to an ink cartridge. It does not print a receipt so you have no way of verifying that all your info/pages made it across. I was in a hurry, I needed a fax macieine asap, could not go out to look them over & had little money to spend. Next time, I will buy what I want rather then being forced to accept what’s out there due to need. I guess it sends ok – No one’s called to say anything’s wrong but, if it sends too poorly they wouldn’t know where to call. It is super slow and often needs to be “hand fed” page by page for larger faxes. I guess if I only had a page or two every now & again, it’d be ok. Not what I will choose in the future tho. Sorry.
