The Brother can receive a fax from the lab or anywhere. It receives to its Paperport software. From there, it can be converted to a PDF file, edited if needed and then imported to AC as you would import anything else. One can also drag it to other applications such as Word, Email, Paint, Excel, Quicken.
I have to admit, the toner cartridge on the 8860 did not last as long as on the previous model but, as I am not printing anywhere near what I used to it is still tolerable. $67 for replacement cartridge. On my previous model, I had to replace the drum once which I think was around $100. I used that machine continously for about 5 years and am still using it in the billing department.
