HP fax machines
Over the years, HP has been producing a large number of industry-acclaimed business fax machines, either as traditional, standalone fax machines, or as multi-function printers with fax functionality. In fact, some models have been so successful that they are still being sought after, and still can actually be found, even though HP has discontinued them officially. Here’s a quick overview of the most notable HP fax machines which can currently be found on the market.
Standalone HP fax machines
Officially, HP has stopped producing standalone, traditional fax machines only very recently. However, many refurbished or even new HP fax machines are still available on the market, sold by specialised b2b providers, or online.
The HP 640 Inkjet fax machine
Released already a few years ago, this HP fax machine has several interesting features:
- it uses inkjet printing technology, bringing much better results than thermal printing technology;
- it uses plain A4 paper rather than fax-specific paper, for much cleaner output;
- it has a 50-sheet tray and a 50-page memory for incoming faxes, for greater autonomy.
The 2140 HP fax machine series
The HP 2140 series represent one of the most advanced series of standalone HP fax machines, with features such as:
- 14.4 kbps modem;
- LCD display;
- plain-paper support;
- 50-page tray;
- copier functionality;
- included telephone set;
- inkjet printing technology;
- 100 speed dials.
Multi-function printers with fax functionality
Multi-function printers with fax functionality is now HP’s key focus on the fax machine market, as it has almost completely deserted the traditional, standalone fax machine market. This range of de facto HP fax machines include several noteworthy models.
