Everything you have always needed in an inkjet
multifunction machine – and more: With the new
MFC-6490CW you can print, fax, copy and scan up to A3.
Offering professional quality A3 multi-function performance in one discreet unit,
the MFC-6490CW enables you to Do More, giving you a flexibility that is unique
to the new Brother inkjet multifunction generation.
The MFC-6490CW comes complete with wireless network capability, so you can
connect to your network without the need for untidy cables – although hard wire
connection is also an option.
Its large 3.3” colour LCD widescreen display makes it easy to navigate the many
available functions. Preview fax messages, view your photos individually, as a
slideshow, or even edit them without the need to use a computer.
With two separate paper trays holding up to 400 sheets, you don’t have to
switch the paper supply every time you print in a different format. The 50-page
Automatic Document Feeder makes copying and faxing multi-page documents
easier and faster.
Add to all this the economy that separate high yield ink cartridges and
compliance with the strict Blue Angel German environmental standard offer,
and it’s not hard to see why the MFC-6490CW is the compact A3 multifunction
inkjet printer that can make a massive difference to your business.
