Both models support a variety of transmission features, such as broadcasting to multiple recipients, which is especially helpful for sending the same document to various clients or partners. They are also equipped with a reliable thermal transfer printing technology, ensuring clear and professional outputs with each fax sent or received.

Furthermore, the incorporation of a Caller ID feature allows users to identify incoming fax calls, preventing missed communications. Both machines are user-friendly, featuring intuitive control panels that facilitate easy operation, even for those unfamiliar with fax technology.
