Amazon.com Product Description
While most all-in-one machines sacrifice quality for convenience, Brother's MFC-8500 multifunction center compares favorably with dedicated machines on the market. A fast 15-page-per-minute print time combined with 600 x 600 dpi output provides quality images with little wait time, while an 8 MB memory can up to 500 pages for out-of-paper reception. pThree quick scan buttons provide plenty of convenience, while a maximum scanning resolution of 9,600 x 9,600 (interpolated) dpi provides ample quality. The fax machine is call waiting, caller ID, and distinctive-ring detection ready, has 116 auto-dial stations, and has a super-quick setting, which can scan faxes in as little as two seconds. pThe copier has a multicopy function of up to 99 pages, can enlarge copies anywhere from 50 to 100 percent, and is capable of a 600 x 600 dpi output. USB and parallel port interfaces are provided for easy connectivity, while ScanSoft PaperPort and TextBridge OCR are included with the MFC-8500 to help you get the most out of your scans. pEven with all these features, the best thing about this machine could be the price tag. The MFC-8500 also comes backed with a one-year limited warranty.

I have 5 of these machines in various offices I have and love them. they are strictly set up as fax machines because they will print off page 1 of what you are faxing along with your confirmation instead of just number of pages sent to a certain phone number. We deal with doctors and need to prove what we are faxing. I have a couple that are 6-7 years old with no problems the entire time.

Thought I'd update everyone as I use the 8500 on Windows Server 2003. You can get it to print by downloading a patch from the brother website, and then use the HL-720 print driver, but all other functions such as scanning and such are not available. This work around is merely to print. br / br /Overall, the machine is OK for a laser printer but sub-standard for faxing etc.

Our company has been using the brother mfc-8500 for about 3 years now without any major problems. As far as the performance of faxing, copying, and printing goes, the machine works very well. The print outs are always very good and clear. Rarely have we ever had any problem receiving or sending faxes. I would defintely recommend this machine for small to medium businesses with a high volume of faxes and printing to do. My only complaints about this machine are I continually have problems when trying to print envelopes through the manual feed. It consistently gives me an error message and I have to open the door and shut it again to get it to work right. Also, the change toner soon message comes on, yet I am able to print just fine for a long while after it comes on. Eventually it won't let me print even when the last copy came out just fine. Also, it has said "Change Drum Soon" for a while, though everything is working fine. I did finally change the drum and the message still says I need to change it. Despite these few minor things it is a very good machine.
