I haven't used the fax, so i can't comment on that. The scanner, however, scans sharply, but is much slower than my Lexmark was. Since the primary reason I bought it was for scanning, I've found it very unsatisfactory, and have already replaced it with another model by Brother. I'd stay away from this model.įalse Dell AIO 948 is the worst printer on the market! If you only use it for occasional printing and scanning, this would be a good printer for you, however, if you plan to do heavy duty scanning, you'll be pulling your hair out, and if you want heavy duty printing, you'll be putting out some cash. I bought this printer less than a year ago. Had problems with the usb from the beginning. You have to unplug from printer to get PC to boot up then plug back in after booted. It went from that to not letting you use either colored or black inck cartridge. If one runs out and the other is full it will not let you click on icon to let you use other ink cartridge only. Also started making a loud clicking noise when you turned on printer from out of idle. I called Dell they had me to return and replaced printer. When the replacement came they replaced the printer with a refurbished one.

Not to mention that they would not give a new warranty on the replacement but kept the old warranty for the first printer ,which will expire in November 2008. I still had the same problems with the usb cord and the ink. I called deal and talked with them we went through several steps which did not fix this problem.
