Although Hewlett-Packard manufactures only a few facsimile series, the reliability of the brand mixed with laser-sharp quality of HP printing continues to attract a loyal market among home office users.
Thanks to HP's computer expertise, some of the most attractive features of their fax machines are their ability to forward incoming data to other sources such as PDAs, beepers and cell phones.
Having a fax machine operate for long periods of time unattended is a competitive edge, and HP allows up to 70 pages to reside in the memory of its machines so that running out of ink or paper is not of immediate concern.
Paper trays hold up to 150 pages, and Sharp machines have a document feed capacity of up to 20 pages. Average scanning time is about 3 seconds/page for home office machines.
