The MFC-6490CW is designed for small offices interested in a loaded inkjet all-in-one and after putting Brother's latest to the test, we found it delivers in spades
The only area in which the Brother didn't blow our socks off was with regards to performance. Printing our 20-page monochrome and colour documents in normal quality, the 6490CW managed speeds of 4.2ppm and 3.1ppm respectively. Moving to our more ...
Finally! Tabloid-size printing for small businesses on a shoestring budget.
Prints and scans at up to tabloid size (11 by 17 inches). Ample paper capacity. Automatic document feeder.
Slow. No duplex option.
The Brother MFC-6490CW more than makes up for its slow speed by bringing tabloid-size printing and scanning to small offices on tight budgets.

Brother made good on it. They cross shipped a replacement (small refundable deposit on credit card required) and it came with a call tag to return the dead one so I didn't get stuck for shipping. The new one works great. As others have said, this isn't wh...
The wireless network setup procedure is rather poor and their driver software a bit fragile. I had initially installed just the drivers and then went back to install the whole package. When I did that it acted bizarrely. The admin utility could see the pr...
We bought our Brother MFC-6490CW all-in-one printer/scanner/fax when they were first released last year. It has been used regularly as both a printer and scanner for most of the last year and we are pretty happy with our purchase. That is ...

For the price can't be beat. Works just as expected and have had minimal troubles. Was definitely worth the money!!
This printer works great. If you need 11x17 this makes very nice printer/scanner. Produce cad drawings on 11x17 for construction company on this and works perfect. Scans are very good. Yes it is big but if you want 11x17 then it is gonna be big
Unit size. Make sure you got room
