INTRODUCTION

The UF-127M is an amazingly compact facsimile machine in the low-end user range of the Panafax family of G3 compatible, desktop facsimile machines. It features Auto speed dialing and other functions designed to make sending faxes easier, faster and more economical. The UF-127M is one of the models in the Panafax line of fax machines that is equipped with the TAM l/F feature. It enables you to connect a Teiephone Answering Machine (TAM) to the UF-127M and automatically switch incoming calls to either the Fax or Telephone Answering Machine.

Anyone can learn how to use the most frequently used functions with a few minutes of simple practice. However, because the UF-127M is capable of performing many different functions, users may not need to learn every one of them.

This User’s Guide will help you to use your UF-127M quickly and easily. The Contents show where to find information on every feature. Although we recommend that you at least review each section briefly, you may need to read only the sections that concern the feature(s) you are interested in.
