The IntelliFax 565 from Brother is a combination fax machine, phone, and copier which has a number of useful features and a very reasonable price tag. Call waiting and caller ID compatible, the 565 also features auto fax/telephone switching, 104-station auto dialing, fax forwarding, auto-redial, and paging. A maximum fax resolution of 203 x 392 lines/inch and 64 shades of gray provide easy to read text, while the 16 characters LCD screen provides status, information and access to features. Copies can be reduced or enlarged from 50% to 150%, while the multi-copy function is able to make up to 99 copies at once.
The 565 has a 50-sheet input capacity and comes with a 10-page automatic document feeder, while its 512 KB memory provides up to 25 pages out out-of-paper reception. Transmission times are around 15 seconds per page, and the recording paper size is variable between 8.5 by 11 and 8.5 by 14 inches. The remote retrieval function allows you to access your fax machine from outside of the office, while a 104-station fax broadcasting feature lets you send a single fax to multiple locations, saving you valuable time.
The 565 utilizes tone dialing as well as an MH coding method and connects via a RJ11C modular jack (or equivalent). The 120 V, 50/60 Hz power supply consumes up to 170 W during normal operation and less than 5 W during standby. The 565 has a 13.1-by-11.9-inch footprint, weighs just 7.5 pounds, and comes backed with a one-year limited warranty.
