KX-MB2061 Printer Review
Expert review of the KX-MB2061 printer
The Panasonic KX-MB2061 is a multifunction laser printer which goes far beyond the usual all-in-one device, allowing all your communication requirements to be housed in one machine. If space is limited it is ideal to have an entire communications centre in one unit, small enough to fit on a desk top. Designed for a number of users, up to six cordless telephones can be supported by the system. With remote monitoring, Easy print software and a preview function, this printer will increase the convenience of the workplace. However, this is a device which takes time to get used to and if there are no IT specialists on site set up can be tricky. Instructions are provided, but these are hard to understand.
Design
Measuring 420 x 432 x 305 mm the Panasonic KXMB2061 packs many functions into a black case. On the front is a control panel which includes an LCD display. Printing speeds are 24ppm and printer resolution is 600 dpi. A telephone with a corded handset is on one side of the device and there is also one cordless handset provided. Connection is achieved from a USB or network interface.
Advantages
As well as the usual functions, the Panasonic MB2061 also has an integrated answer machine, a cordless telephone system supporting up to six handsets and an intercom system. Voice mails and faxes can be managed remotely and sent to email if required. Easy Print software simplifies the printing process, allowing files from various Microsoft applications to be merged. A preview function allows faxes to be viewed on a PC and only printed if required, resulting in considerable paper saving.
Disadvantages
With print speeds of 24 ppm there are many printers on the market much faster than the Panasonic KX-MB2061. Set up and installation is complicated and is particularly so for mac users. The instructions provided are hard to understand.
