Additionally, the KX-FT31BX offers a memory capacity capable of storing up to 28 pages in case of a paper jam or when the recipient’s machine is unavailable. This feature enables users to continue their operations without worrying about missed communications.

Another notable characteristic is the built-in telephone functionality, which allows users to make voice calls directly from this machine. This versatile feature streamlines office equipment by eliminating the need for a separate phone line, saving both space and resources.

The KX-FT31BX comes equipped with a user-friendly control panel featuring easy-to-navigate buttons and a basic display that guides users through various functions. The machine also includes auto redial capabilities, ensuring that failed transmissions can be retried without user intervention.

Moreover, the paper handling of the KX-FT31BX accommodates A4, Legal, and letter-sized documents, supporting various document formats. The 10-sheet memory for faxing and automatic document feeder helps in managing multiple page documents efficiently.

Overall, the Panasonic KX-FT31BX combines essential fax functionalities with added features, making it a reliable choice for users who need efficient communication tools.
