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.
