This midrange entry-level fax machine is designed for a small office or a home user that needs a basic and user-friendly communications device. The Philips Faxjet 365 inkjet fax with SMS and answering machine can perform the simplest telephony and fax transmission tasks, and as a bonus, it is integrated with an SMS text feature for more convenience to users. Unfortunately, the Faxjet 365 printer has been discontinued by Philips.
Design
The Philips 365 inkjet plain paper fax machine is a small and compact device with a straightforward design. It comes with a telephone handset on the left-hand side and a display screen for ease of use. The alpha numeric keypad is situated on the right-hand side of the control panel. The automatic document feeder and standard input tray are conveniently positioned on the topmost part of the Philips Faxjet 365 fax machine. Designed for printing in black and white, the Philips Faxjet 365 uses a black Philips PFA431 fax cartridge.
Advantages
The Philips 365 fax printer can receive or send SMS text messages and the 100-sheet paper tray is good enough for the printing needs of a small office. The Philips Faxjet 365 inkjet fax comes with a built-in answering machine, which can record 14-minute messages. To save time, there is a 20-page automatic document feeder. The Philips 365 Faxjet can store 100 pages into its memory and up to 54 numbers can be programmed into the speed dial function.
Disadvantages
The Philips Faxjet 365 printer is significantly slower than fax machines with 33.6Kbps modems and the non-backlit display screen can be difficult to view when the room lighting is bad. A growing business should consider a faster and more versatile option because the Faxjet 365 doesn't have higher paper capacity and built-in memory.
