User questions & answers

Question:	what cartridge does it use
Answer:	It's not ink you want, it is Toner. Do a search using the keyword Toner in front of the model number. Be forewarned that generic toner might not work as well with an original brother drum cartridge, at least that has been my experience. If you go with generic toner, I would also recommend a generic drum assembly. If you want to use original Brother Toner, I would suggest using an original Brother Drum assembly as well. The original Brother Factory Toner is a a little sharper and finer, the generic tends to be a little darker.
Question:	Can it scan
Answer:	Yes, It has starter toner package. 250 pages. Just take this toner - http://amzn.to/2sDtz2b for another 2600 pages
Question:	Does this BROTHER FAX2840 have a toner and drum unit as part of the purchase, or do I have to purchase all 3 separately
Answer:	No.. But get a wifi mini print server. To make it so.
Question:	It seems like a change was made to fix the "deep sleep" issue. If you bought between 9/2013 and 12/2013, how are things going
Answer:	You can take USB 6 Feet http://amzn.to/2HhAbX5 or if you need longer cable USB 16 Feet http://amzn.to/2Ew7lEK

Question:	Does anyone know how approximately many pages you can fax at one time
Answer:	hello, durms can be replaced pretty easy... Fuser a little more difficult but can be don.... the drum is aval for purchase item DR400 Amazon / staples ect. sell them..
Question:	Can the consumer replace the drum in this machine, or do you need an expert to do so? And are drums available for purchase? What about the fuser
Answer:	It's a great fax machine, but it is not a network scanner. You are better off with an "all-in-one" copier, scanner, printer & fax if that is your requirement. You can find some very good ones in the same price range from HP and Dell.
Question:	Does this machine have a scan function to scan documents to my computer, as opposed to only being able to scan a document for fax purposes
Answer:	no -only analog
Question:	will the 4750e work on a digital phone line
Answer:	this machine will do black and white copies only. I do not think that it has thermal imaging. It uses a "cartridge" which is similar to carbon paper.
Question:	Hi, Is this the one that tattoo artist use to copy their designs? Do you happen to know if it has thermal imaging? Thank you
Answer:	No it does not have a speaker phone option.
Question:	Is this a speaker phone? I have one and when you use hook you can hear them they cant hear you

User questions & answers

Question:	does the phone, fax have a cordless phone or a corded
Answer:	Corded phone
Question:	Will the ink dry out if not used often
Answer:	I wouldn't think so because as far as I know it is a tape and not ink that is in there.
Question:	What replacement cartridge do I need to buy (for when the starter one runs out
Answer:	When you order, it gives you an option to purchase an extra cartridge , and the machine comes with an order form. I'm a low user, so I have not had to order a new cartridge yet.
Question:	Where do you put the paper
Answer:	The blank paper goes in the back slot. The document you're faxing or copying goes in the front slot facing away from you. The instructions have very clear diagrams. Just take your time & read over them. You'll figure it out. Good luck.
