Here are some of our favorite fax machines currently available. Canon’s Faxphone L100 is an easy-to-use fax machine that requires minimal set-up time to get started and offers a snappy print rate of 19 sheets per minute. It can store a whopping 512 sheets in its memory, giving it the ability to handle even the largest document transmissions and even remember them if you run out of paper, and the included toner cartridge can put out roughly 2,000 sheets before needing replacement. The tray holds 150 sheets at a time, and up to 30 can be automatically fed through the unit. Offices and homes with limited space or people going paperless will love the CimFax for its crossover into the digital realm. The unit is shipped with integrated software that allows control of faxes on both Mac and Windows systems, where users can send documents, PDFs, and spreadsheets to other fax machines or directly to email. The most outstanding part of the system is that because it’s digital, you can manage and review all your faxes at any time directly from the software interface. If you’re in the market for a printer, scanner, or copier, this unit can do it all plus send and receive faxes too. This Lexmark unit runs on toner cartridges, which spares heavy users from constantly restocking on ink, and because it’s an all-in-one unit, users save big on space that can be used for other things. It prints at 26 pages per minute and offers double-sided printing, making it not only a great fax machine but a robust and effective competitor to any traditional copier or printer. If you want fax capability on a budget, look no further than this compact machine from Panasonic. It’s perfect for small offices, garages, and auxiliary spaces, and it prints using a thermal transfer system that’s good for long-term use and storage since it doesn’t dry out like ink. The tray holds 20 sheets at a time and the memory can hold up to 24 pages of incoming transmission if you temporarily run out of paper. On top of all that, it even makes copies.
