The small Canon Faxphone B640 is a great choice for the home or small office with limited space. Its plain-paper fax and handy copy function make it especially useful. The Canon Faxphone B640 is extraordinarily compact as it uses ink jet technology instead of laser printing. It was easy to set up and intuitive to use, providing both basic fax and copy functions at the touch of a button.
The Canon Faxphone B640 gave us good quality faxes, with a relatively fast 7-second-per-page fax speed. It has a 15-page fax memory, so if you run out of paper, you can still recover your incoming faxes. The B640 also stores up to 21 pages of outgoing faxes.
The Canon Faxphone B640's copy function was nowhere near as high-quality as a full-size dedicated copy machine but it was adequate for many business tasks. Because it only uses 360-dpi resolution and ink jet technology, the copy quality wasn't high enough for important business presentations. However, the B640 was adequate for copying information and text. Considering the space-saving design and the full fax features at an affordable price, the copy feature was a useful extra.
Pros:
- Small footprint
- Relatively fast fax speed
- Handy copy function
Cons:
- Produces low-quality copies
