Challenges of Using Brother Intellifax 885MC

The Brother Intellifax 885MC, once a staple for office communications, is increasingly a burden for contemporary businesses due to its reliance on outdated technology. Frequent mechanical issues, slow transmission rates (often capped at 14.4kbps), and the need for physical phone lines create unwarranted delays in daily workflows. Operating these legacy machines incurs expensive costs for supplies such as thermal paper and ink, while constant repairs consume IT resources. Moreover, their lack of mobile support forces team members to remain tethered to their desks, significantly limiting flexibility for remote or hybrid work—an unfortunate drawback in today’s fast-paced work settings.

Dealing with this equipment means facing:

Bulky machines

Requires significant space and energy connections.


Ongoing maintenance expenses

Involves costly ink refills, repairs, and service contracts.


Complex installation

Setup often results in expensive downtime.


Outdated functionalities

Limited capabilities without updates or integrations.
