One of my friend is looking for a fax to email machine for small office use.  I believe many of you have seen and receive fax in your email with attached documents in pdf format.  We are looking for a machine that can do just that.  One that can scan and email the documents as well as to fax documents as well.  I’ve seen and used only huge machines that do this job.  I haven’t come across one that is for home or small office use. 

I researched online and found a few smaller machine that can or may be provide such task for less than $1000.  The brand is Panasonic Panafax.  There are several models that I am looking into, but not sure which one can actually do it right.  They are the UF-4000, UF-6000, UF-7000 and UF-8000.  I might want to check them out personally at the store to see and have a feel of them before recommending to my friend. 

Do you have any other recommendations (brands/models) for this type of machine?  If you do, please contribute your comment.  Thank you.
