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's colour inkjet multifunction printer (MFP), the Brother MFC-6490CW, adds wide-format printing capability to an already long list of functions. Unfortunately, extremely slow performance is the tradeoff.
The Brother MFC-6490CW multifunction printer's wide-format capability is nice, but not its slow performance and variable print quality.
Troubleshooting software/driver problems can be a confusing mess. Depending on which program you're using (admin tool, status monitor, control panel, configuration tool, Windows printer) they use different names. Some use the description from the printer...
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...
I print a lot more black and white than color. If you anticipate doing more color than black and white, this printer may not be for you.
Works very well. Automatic document feed. Large scanning area. Large ink tanks and low ink usage. Fast enough for me print speed. Unmatched large print format (great for CAD drawings) for such a bargain price. Wireless and LAN
Print quality is not this printers forte, but that has not kept me from liking it. It takes up a lot of space, but that can be assumed with the sizes that it is able to print
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 ...
