It can be fussy about feeding multiple pages to send, so it's generally best to feed them through one at a time. That's really a pity, because the quick-scan feature, when it works, is total gold.
But the toner. Oh, god, the toner. I'm used to laser printers whining at me on the message display about low or "out" toner, and I'm just as used to ignoring them. The helpful people at Panasonic have decided that they don't like people ignoring those messages, so they include a pleasant beep. And when I say "pleasant", I mean it gives me nightmares. When the time comes for the machine to be replaced (and it will come, oh yes, it will come), I may run an extension cord outside so it can actually be actively beeping as I go Office Space on it. Anyway, toner. To guard against the possibility of someone with super-human will tuning out the beeping (or perhaps to guard against the deaf), they also have included a helpful...Read more 17 of 18 people found the following review helpful:  DONT BUY THIS DUD, By This review is from: Panasonic KX-FL501 Plain-Paper Laser Fax/copy Machine (Office Product) This machine looks and feels flimsy. Panasonic technical support is excellent, but unfortunately you will need it if you buy this machine. Also you'll need an extended warranty since you can expect problems. The instructions on how to set this up are confusing, and its easy to go wrong, and easy to make a mistake in putting in toner. I bought this for home use and wanted a plain paper laser fax to save on consumable costs and get good quality copies. My first unit didn't work at all. Panasonic sent a replacment without charge. After about 18 months of very light use (as a home fax), it started to make lines on every copy and fax sent out. Panasonic technical support tells me this is a problem with a bad chip and it will have to be sent back for repairs which which will be expensive and take time and effort. I am very disappointed with this machine. I liked the idea of a laser plain paper fax, but this one just isn't very good. I'm sure you can find a more reliable...Read more 14 of 15 people found the following review helpful: Panasonic junk, By Laurence R. Durio (Baton Rouge, LA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Panasonic KX-FL501 Plain-Paper Laser Fax/copy Machine (Office Product) Purchased a Panasonic KX-FL501 from Amazon.com on August 01, 2001 and replaced it 06/13/02 with a Brother IntelliFAX 2800, which so far has been an infinitely more satisfactory machine for exactly the same price. The KX-FL501 was complex to set up, program, and use beyond absolutely basic functions, copy quality was barely adequate for a machine in its price range and it gave constant problems with multiple page FAXes; both sending and receiving. Sending, it would feed several pages of the original at once. Receiving, it would pull several blank pages from the paper tray, often so many it would jam. Adjustments did next to no good. Essentially, it was non-functional. |
