1 General Description
1.1. Overview
This section covers the features and specifications of the plain paper facsimile transceiver "Panasonic UF-
E1". This facsimile can transmit and receive on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) in the
modes conforming to CCITT Group 3 recommendations.
1.2. Fax Features and Functions
1. Thermal Ink-jet Printing
Clear picture quality is obtained by employing a thermal ink-jet printing method on plain paper.
2. Easy Maintenance
The thermal ink-jet printing mechanism does not require the use of a drum, a developer unit or toner.
Resulting in an easily cleaned and maintained machine.
3. A4 Scanning
A4 is the maximum document width that can be scanned and transmitted.
B4 scanning is only available in Taiwan and Chaina.
4. Automatic Document Feeder
An Automatic Document Feeder feeds originals from the document tray automatically, starting with the
bottom page.
Capacity : 20 documents (A4 size) of average thickness and of the same size.
15 documents (B4 size) of average thickness and of the same size.
5. Speedy Transmission
The use of Coding with ECM achieves faster transmissions.
Short Protocol reduces hand-shake time by shortening Phase B.
6. Error Correction Mode (ECM)
An Error Correction Mode, which conforms to ITU-T/CCITT Recommendations, allows error-free data
transmission. ECM with Coding also conforms to ITU-T/CCITT Recommendations.
7. Automatic Dialing Function
Up to 130 stations can be easily dialed by Directory Dialing or Abbreviated Dialing Function. Any other
stations can be dialed directly from the keypad by entering the full telephone number.
8. Memory Transmission
The contents of a document can be stored into the document memory first, then transmitted from
memory. Operator attendance until transmission ends is not necessary.
9. Multi-station Transmission
Using the document memory, the document can be transmitted to multiple destinations.
10. Deferred Communication
The 1 built-in 24-hour timers allow the operator to set deferred transmissions. Using the document
memory, documents can also be transmitted to multiple stations.
11. Caller ID Function (Available in only certain countries)
Caller's telephone number can be confirmed on the display before answering call. By registering
unwanted call into Blacklist, it will not ring when the caller ID matches with one registered in the Black-
list.
12. Fax/Tel Automatic Switch
This feature allows you share a single telephone line for both Fax and Voice, thus saving on the cost of
installing a second telephone line. When the machine answers an incoming call, it will automatically
distinguish whether the caller is a Fax or Voice, if it is a Fax call, the machine will receive the docu-
ment. If it is a Voice call, the machine will beep for operator attention.
13. Document Memory Backup
This unit has a Flash Memory to retain the document information and machine parameters [except cal-
endar clock and dialing information for the file(s)] permanently even when a power failure occurs.
14. Halftone
For transmission, this function ensures high quality reproduction of gray-shaded or photographic docu-
ments. This machine uses 64 levels of error diffusion to create halftones with Quality mode.
