| gjacks's Full Review: Panasonic KX-FP81 Plain Paper Fax |
I recently purchased this fax machine at a local Office Depot store. I had needed a fax machine at home for quite some time. I am a football official in Arkansas and I have to send letters to each of the head coaches the week of the game. Last season, I ended up sending them by way of my office fax machine. I don’t think anyone really cared, but I never felt comfortable using company resources for personal use.
So, I went to buy a fax machine. I looked at quite a few different models and ended up choosing the Panasonic KX-FP81 because of various reasons. Here are a few of them:
1. The price was only $130. This will pay for itself in just two football games.
2. Quick Scan IQ-Fax Internet Faxing. This was a big plus for me since I use e-mail and the Internet so much.
3. This machine has a feature called Jog-Dial Operation. This allows you to touch one button and then use a dial to find out the feature you are looking for instead of having to remember a bunch of codes.
4. This machine also has automated answering. It will answer each call and determine whether or not it is a fax.
5. If a voice call comes in, there is an answering machine with this that will take a message.
6. It has a 50 number auto dialer and a 28-page memory.
7. This can also be used as just a copier.
I have only had this machine for about a month, but I already love it. It does not have some of the advanced options of other fax machines, but it does what I need for it to.
I would highly recommend this fax machine to anyone who needs a basic fax machine. If you just need to be able to send and receive faxes, this is the model for you. The Panasonic name is very respected for being dependable and reliable. I don’t feel that I went wrong with this machine.
