This fax is easy to use, directions not too difficult. Holds faxes in memory. Two things I would want to change. Wish it had a bottom tray to hold the paper, its a top feed, but didnt find one I liked as much as this one for the money that had a paper tray. Also it takes a little time to print the confirmation. These two things were not a deal breaker. Faxes are clean and very good quality. Would recommend this to anyone with a small office or for home use.

The Canon JX210P is good choice for those looking for a cheap fax machine and document printer for light duty use. The machine itself is made almost entirely of plastic. There seems to be very few metal parts. Printing and faxing are both fairly slow, but for light use it's fast enough. Print quality is very good. Faxes sent and received are very clear, as are printed documents. The JX210P uses Canon PG-40 Cartridges, which sell for under $20. So unlike some other machines, it won't cost and arm and a leg to replace it. The machine comes with a telephone cable, but no USB cable. I'm very happy with the JX210P. I wish it was a little faster, and it's all plastic construction has me wondering how long it will last. But for the price, it's a good deal for what it does.

This fax machine is a good fit for the casual user. it is attractive, although it is larger than some, and the handset is flimsy. But that's the only downside in my opinion. This machine makes crisp black and white copies and faxes. I've had no problems with paper jams, and I like that it uses regular copy paper. It can hold up to 60 incoming pages in memory, in case your phone is busy, and can hold 20 originals in order to fax multiple pages. It also doubles as a printer for your computer. I recommend this machine.

I had trouble with the setup instructions, but got it all up and running in a couple of hours. It is very easy to use. Build quality is great, much better than I expected. No complaints so far.

This is a good no frills fax machine for home users or a small business with infrequent fax needs. It's a update of the JX-200 (which from what I've read has issues with the paper feed and should be avoided) and cosmetically they look similar (the 200 is black and white and the 210 is all black). The copy, send, and receive quality are all very good. The ink dries quickly with no smudging. The paper feeds easily without jamming or misaligning. It has a USB port for faxing (or printing) from a PC. I has a few other basic features: one touch dialing, caller ID, auto-redial, auto-document feed, and it's got the Energy Star rating. Beyond that there not much more to it.

The main downside is the fax speed: at 14.4 Kb/s it's about half as fast as a 33Kb/s fax. For light users that's no big deal. Who cares if it takes 6 seconds to send a page vs. 3 if you only use it once a week to send three pages? However anyone sending a lot of faxes or very long faxes will probably want to look for a faster model.
