 Fantastic device July 23, 2008
Marc Aronson (California, USA)
I've had the device for 3 months and it is fantastic. Here is what I like about it:
1. 100% reliable. I have not had a problem yet where I've needed to reboot the Panasonic device or any PC that is working with it. I am using it with both XP and Vista. This is in sharp contrast to my previous multi-function printer.
2. Network scanning -- you can have the scanned file "deposited" onto any machine on your local network, or email it to any email address.
3. Fax is reliable, weather faxing from physical originals, or "printing" to the fax device from an application like word. Since the device is networked, you can "print to fax" from any computer on your network.
4. Fast scanner. Scans at 6 pages/minute when configured at 200dpi, grayscale mode to PDF file format.
5. Front panel is logical and reasonably intuitive.
6. When it goes into power save mode, it is silent. My kill-a-watt shows that it draws 6-7 watts once it goes into power save mode.
I know that others have commented that it is noisy. There is a fan that runs when it isn't in power-save mode, but I do not feel that the noise level is a problem.
Fan noise June 21, 2008
S. Hoffman (San Antonio)
This machine is a great bargain. It works as it is supposed to and networks easily.
Several reviews complain of continual fan noise. My machine makes NO noise in sleep mode. Perhaps some have it not go to sleep. There is no off switch because in sleep mode it is silent and uses very little power, but is ready to go quickly.
Good multi function machine May 30, 2008
Likwong Lee (Dallas, TX)
I purchased the machine from Frys for 99.00, not bad. I read all the reviews before made my decision. I was able to set the Waiting Time for Power Save Mode to 5 minutes, it will turn off the fan, no noise.
Overall, the machine is pretty good. I was able to hood it up wirelessly to the wireless router and share by the whole family. My wife can print anytime now using the laptop from the family room and pick up the print out later.
I've tried the fax, copy and print functions and they were pretty good; the scan function is a bit slow but the OCR software is working well. It took about 1.5 minutes to scan a page wirelessly to my laptop. The fax is much faster than my old fax and I like the Quick Scan feature.
This is a pretty good machine for home/light business use, the network ready feature allows you to share just 1 printer for the whole family instead of buying individual inkjet for each family members.
Very nice product, but a little noisy March 1, 2008

Just got my KX-MB781 today with a lowest price I could find in the market now, very happy with the purchase, installation was fairly easy, the print, fax, scan and copy all function well, highly recommend for small business or home use. the only cons. is, as some users have already mentioned in their reviews, this baby has a noisy fan, running all the time, even when the machine goes to sleep mode, the fan still keeps running, in a quiet home, the noise can be heard clearly, it doesn't like other printers completely silence when goes to sleep mode. Other than this, it is a perfect buy!!!
Good Network printer.... February 25, 2008

The set up was super easy took about 5 mins to set up the printer.
Just insert the toner to the roller then place in printer.
I plug it in and was able to do copies immediately.
I was able to set up for network printing easily. I now can print anywhere.
The text is clear and crisp. Not bad for a lazer.
The scan can only be done with the included software. I had trouble installing on 2 XP machines. But I was able to install it on my Vista machine. So all scans goes to my Vista machine now. The scan quality is good. Takes about 1-2 mins for a 600dpi scan. Image file comes to 6MB.
Cons: I dont think there is a power button to shut off. So, I plug into a power strip so I can turn on and off.
Fan is a bit loud.
Good quaility, I would recommend.
