Digital camera reviews of Panasonic KX-FLB811 All-in-One Flatbed Laser Fax with Document Sorter

Digital camera Review: Great laser multi-function machine! Can scan-to-email!
Summary: 5 Stars

The scanner on my Canon multi-function machine died after just 3 years, so I decided to switch brand, and upgrade to a network-capable machine with scan-to-email functionality like I have at work, at a target price point of $250 or less.

I love this machine! The very fast copying speed, the scan/copy zoom feature, the built-in networking, and the scan-to-email feature make this a winner! If you don't have a printer server in your home network, it takes some time to figure out how to rig this up so that it uses the SMTP server from your ISP, but once you got it set up, with just 5 button pushes, you can scan a small stack of document and it shows up in your email account as a PDF attachment in just a few minutes!

The start-up speed to print the first page is also very fast.

Although I am very happy with this machine, I do have a few bones to pick:

1) When using scan-to-email feature, it can't handle very large number of pages. When I tried to scan much more than 7 pages, it failed with an error saying that the document set is too large. In my view, the machine should be able to handle as many document via scan-to-email as it can handle faxes, or the capacity of its 35-pages input tray.

2) When I tried to scan-to-email a 8.5 x 14 real-estate form, the results shows up with the pages being truncated at 8.5 x 11 inches, so the machine isn't smart enough to handle the legal size papers. I had to work-around this by do a photocopy and use a 75% zoom reduction to fit the legal-sized page into a standard page, and then scan that into email.

3) It would be nice if this machine can do duplex printing, like some of the Canon or Brother models.

4) An additional paper tray would be nice!

5) Lastly, the documentation on how to configure the machine to email scaned document isn't too good. Unless you have your own printer server at home (which not many people have, even the tech savvy ones), you end up having to scour the web to discover various SMTP servers and ports out there that you can use. HINT: it's best to ask your service provider for the SMTP server name and port so that you can use to set this feature up.

Overall, I got this machine on Black Friday this year for $150, and for the price, I can't really ask for anything more. This machine works like a charm, as a networked printer, scanner, and scan-to-email. (who really needs to fax any more if you can email attached PDF focuments).
