Panasonic fax machines: Buyer’s guide

The Panasonic fax machine range includes a variety of units designed to suit different business faxing needs. For smaller companies, or companies that do not rely too heavily on faxed communiqué, a low volume fax machine is ideal. You’ll still enjoy fast, efficient faxing, but you’ll not waste money on superfluous features that your company doesn’t need. Keeping it simple will ensure that faxing is efficient and streamlined at all times.

Larger businesses are advised to invest in high volume, multi-function fax machines that offer a variety of features. These all-in-one communication solutions ensure that your business won’t only enjoy quicker faxing capabilities, but will also benefit from a range of other advanced features. These types of business fax machines, which include flatbed fax machines and laser fax machines, boast features such as automatic document feeders, large memories, dual line and SD card capabilities, as well as network printer and scanner interfaces.

Need a few more tips? Before selecting a new fax machine for your office, consider the following questions:

What paper size is right for my office? The majority of fax machines use A4, letter-sized paper. If you work with documents that differ from this size, bear this in mind when selecting a fax machine.

What is the fax transmission speed of the unit? Some units fax pages in as little as 4 seconds, while others may take 15 – 20 seconds to transmit each page. If you’re faxing high volumes of paper, consider investing in the fastest machine you can get.

What type of print quality do I need? The print technology used in each unit will greatly affect the quality of faxes. Laser technology is the most advanced, and offers the best-quality results, while Inkjet printers are efficient but offer less clarity and sharpness. Thermal printers are often the cheapest, but lack the crispness offered by laser units.

How much page memory do I need? The bigger the page memory of your fax machine, the more pages it can store in its memory when it runs out of paper. They store these pages until paper is replaced. Panasonic fax machines store anything from 170 pages (2MB memory) to 720 pages (12MB memory).
