1 General Description

1.1

Overview

This section covers the features and specifications of the plain paper facsimile transceiver "Panasonic DX-2000". This fax machine
can transmit and receive on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) in modes conforming to ITU-T Group 3
recommendations. This fax machine can also transmit and receive an email with SMTP / MIME Protocol and receive an email with
POP3 Protocol.

General Features and Functions

1. Laser Printing
Clear picture quality is obtained by employing a Laser printing method on plain paper. The machine can print onto A4, Letter
or Legal size paper.
2. Quick Scan
Quick Scan speeds the fax process by scanning and storing documents into memory at a rate of approximately 1 second* per
page. This means that you no longer have to wait around until a transmission is completed before retrieving your originals.
(*Standard Resolution, based on ITU-T Image No. 1 Test Chart. The Scanning speed applies only to the feeding process
from the leading to the lagging edge of a single page test chart. The time it takes to store the document into memory is not
applied for this definition)
3. Easy Maintenance
This laser printing mechanism only requires changing the toner cartridge, housing the drum and toner.
Unlike other machines with removable EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM), this machine is equipped with a F-ROM
(Flash ROM). F-ROM offers the flexibility of quick and easy firmware updates, creation of a master firmware card, backup
and restore of firmware and machine parameters.
4. Panasonic Super Smoothing
The machine incorporates a new sophisticated image processing technology to enhance print quality of ordinary received fax
images by smoothing the curved edges of the character.
5. B4 size Scanning
B4 size is the maximum document width that can be scanned and transmitted.
(Note: 11 inches is the maximum document width that can be loaded into the ADF, however only B4 width will be
scanned.)
6. Automatic Document Feeder
An Automatic Document Feeder feeds originals from the document tray automatically, starting with the bottom page.
Capacity: 50 documents of average thickness and of the same size.
7. Speedy Transmission
The use of JBIG Coding with ECM achieves faster transmissions. Short Protocol reduces handshake time by shortening
Phase B and D.
8. Error Correction Mode (ECM)
An Error Correction Mode, which conforms to ITU-T Recommendations, allows error-free data transmission. ECM with MMR
or JBIG Coding also conforms to ITU-T Recommendations.
9. Automatic Dialing Function
Up to 200 stations can be easily dialed by One-Touch Dialing or Abbreviated Dialing Function. Any other stations can be
dialed directly from the keypad by entering the full telephone number or an email address (up to 70 stations).
10. 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.
11. Multi-station Transmission
Using the document memory, the document(s) can be stored and transmitted to mixed destinations, PSTN and LAN (up to
270 stations).
