I had an HP Fax 1010 for my home office, and it was a trouper - always worked gargantuan. But then HP had a steal due to potential fire hazard, and offered a rebate on several of their faxes and multifunction fax/printer/scanners.
So I went for the M1391F MFP. I don't really care about printing - I've got a color duplex laser printer for that. I wanted something that would fax, copy, and scan with an auto-feed.
Here's what it's grand at:
1. Scanning letter-size pages (although their Mac software could utilize some work) .
2. Copying letter-size pages.
3. Faxing letter-size pages to U.S. recipients.
And the document feed works ample.
Here's what it won't do:
1. Scan legal-sized pages
2. Ring or create any kind of noise when it gets an incoming call, from a fax machine, cell phone, or land line. Even with all the volume settings turned to high.
3. Receive an incoming fax or phone call. At all. From anywhere.
The capper tonight was that I had to fax a time-sensitive document to Original Zealand, and this portion of work thinks the NZ dial tone is a busy signal and won't connect.
I tried to access HP's live chat abet desk, but nobody picked up in over a half-hour. So now I'm having an extended, hours-between-installments email correspondence with Nigel from Bangalore, and he's asking me to verify the model number and what version of Windows is on the attached computer and am I using USB. Well, there is no computer attached, Nigel, I'm using this as a tranquil fax machine. But as someone who's written printer drivers for your believe company's printers, and fax software for your competitors, I can snarl you that if the attached computer is preventing this unit from receiving faxes or recognizing international dial tones, you need to peruse for another job.
I dug out the aged 1010 and it sent the fax impartial shapely.
This unit has a amazing feature region. If only it worked. It's useless to me, and I'm going to have to launch looking for a fax machine that works.
When I was in grad school over 20 years ago, HP sold the best lab equipment money could assume. You knew if you got an HP gas chromatograph, or infrared spectrometer, or oscilloscope, you had the highest quality available on the planet.
Now... I've bought probably a dozen HP laser printers since 1990, and never even looked at another trace, with one costing over $10,000. But after this hunk of junk, I will certainly peek at alternatives in the future.
This unit was purchased as a replacement for an HP1010 Fax Machine which was recalled by the factory, and an HP1010 Printer which was not recalled. Despite negative comments by others, I have found the M1319F Printer to be more than an acceptable replacement for both machines. It is in regular expend and I have had no problems thus far. It has never failed to print, copy, or fax for me. I have found the print quality to be friendly.
The printed documentation that came with it was a miniature too spartan, but the manual on the installation CD is more than adequate (177 pages if you care to print it) . As a bonus, the M1319F uses the same ink cartridge as the HP1010 Printer so for me, I only have to stock one cartridge for both.
Thus far, I have no regrets with my recall, and I possess HP did me a favor by recalling the HP1010 fax which I did not like. The only reason I rate the M1319F 4 stars is because HP makes grand heavier, more durable machines, albeit at a higher stamp.
The machine worked well for 3 weeks. Then it started to pickle every now and then. It would try to grab too many sheets of paper from the tray. Changed paper and it happens less frequently.
Last week the fax share started to act up. It dials, hears the other machine respond then takes forever to send even the first page. Oddly, sometimes it will send multiple pages but doesn't note that on the prove. I have confirmed that the receiving fax machines were working pretty. I send faxes to these other machines on a regular basis and now I can not. The light honest flashes away and my phone line is tied up forever.
