Hi there!

Thanks you for your question.


In my opinion the best multifunction machine (printer, fax and
scanner)with the requirements you specified is the Lexmark X125.
I took into account print speeds, print resolution and stand alone
fax capability.

The Lexmark X125 All-In-One Office Center (started shipping in July of
this year) provides standalone fax (33.3 Kbps), PC-free laser crisp
black and color copy, high-resolution scan and fast print speeds. You
can load multiple pages in the automatic document feeder for easy
scanning, faxing and copying. The Lexmark X125 offers fast,
high-quality printing, with print speeds of 16 ppm black and 8 ppm
color and 2400 x 1200 dpi print resolution. The 36-bit color scanner
has a 600 x 1200 scan resolution.
