    Question: Cheapest MFP able to send AND receive faxes on PC

    What is the cheapest MFP that is able to both send and receive faxes on PC? I know the 171MPF can do it, but the customer thinks it is too expensive.

    It doesn't have to have a LAN port - if there is a way to do it via USB, of course.

      Try the configurator thingy on Ricoh's UK website, I think it lists features like that.
      It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

      Hit it.

          Apparently the GX 3050SFN can do it too - May our children forgive us for helping spreading this plague (inkjets) upon the world.

          Thanks for your feedback!

              I recommend that they buy a cheap Brother...Anything lower than a Ricoh 171 is shite

                  Well, we just deal with Ricoh - suggesting that would be like telling them to go to our competitors - now we can't do that, can we?

                      I totally agree with Venom.

                      If a customer thinks that an MP171 is too expensive, office equipment dealers (such as all of us) aren't where he should be shopping. He also will get sticker shock the first time he gets a repair bill.

                      We really can't help him.

                      He needs to go to Wal-Mart or OfficeMax for what he is looking to spend.

                          Sometimes ya gotta shove potential customers away. The Savin Gelsprinter / Inkjet line is total garbage. Ya opening a serious can of worms with that boy.

                              I'm a tech guy - I have no saying on that kind of thing (and I really don't want to).
