What does the warranty cover?

Our warranty covers all hardware faults, but please note it doesn’t cover accidental damage or software issues. However, we’re here to help with technical support for those matters!

At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

Description

Brother FAX-2840

Key Benefits

  • Standalone laser fax — operates without a PC — receives, prints, and stores faxes independently even outside business hours
  • 20ppm laser output — sharp, professional-quality laser prints that do not fade like thermal paper faxes
  • 20-sheet ADF — feed multi-page documents unattended for transmission, avoiding page-by-page manual feeding
  • 250-sheet paper tray — avoids constant paper top-ups in medium-volume fax environments
  • PC-Fax capability — send faxes directly from Word, PDF, or any Windows application via USB — no printing required
  • 8 MB memory standard — stores incoming faxes in memory when paper runs out, preventing missed documents

Performance in Use

The Brother FAX-2840 fills a specific and practical role: reliable standalone laser fax for offices that still need fax as part of their compliance, legal, or medical workflow. Unlike thermal fax machines, laser-printed pages stay sharp and legible for years — important for contracts, prescriptions, and legal correspondence that need to be filed and retrieved later.

The 20-sheet ADF and 250-sheet paper tray mean the FAX-2840 can handle multi-page documents and overnight incoming faxes without attention. For offices using PC-Fax, documents can be sent directly from desktop applications via USB, keeping laser quality without printing a physical copy first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the FAX-2840 networkable or wireless?

No — the FAX-2840 connects via USB only. For a networked laser fax machine, consider the Brother MFC or FAX series with LAN/wireless capability.

Does it receive faxes automatically?

Yes — in auto-answer mode, the FAX-2840 picks up incoming faxes automatically and prints them. It can also be set to ring first and then switch to fax.

What toner cartridge does it use?

The FAX-2840 uses the Brother TN-2250 or TN-2260 toner cartridge series, which are widely available.

Can it share a phone line with a telephone?

Yes — there is a phone jack pass-through so a handset can share the same line. The machine can detect fax tones and switch automatically.

What shipping costs apply?

Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.
