Brother MFC-6490CW For Tabloid Size Printing

Brother MFC-6490CW
The Brother MFC-6490CW, the first printer in Brother's new Professional Series, pack with features and quality at a low price. Let's be straight, most of us are limiting ourselves to AIO printers that somehow lack what we occasionally need, simply because of the price. For a home printer user that sometimes requires a double duty AIO printer, this one will perfectly suits you. 

It's typical for a multifunction printer to do printing, scanning, copying and fax sending, but what's good with MFC-6490CW is that it can do all this, over a network except copying of course. I know there's a lot of AIO and MFP printer models out there that's capable of the same feature, but considering its price that isn't bad. Also, it can attach a scanned document to an e-mail message either by using the e-mail program on a PC, or by sending the message directly by way of an in-house e-mail server or an ISP.

It may not be the most compact AIO printer with a dimension of 12.7 by 21.3 by 19.2 inches, but indeed it's the smallest one that's capable of printing and scanning tabloid size (11 x 17 inches). With its widescreen 3.3" Color LCD Display that lets you preview photos or print an index sheet. The Brother MFC-6490CW offers photocentric features that allows the user to print directly from PictBridge cameras, memory cards and USB keys.

Aside from the said features, it also include a 50-page automatic document feeder (ADF), which can handle up to tabloid-size documents; a tabloid-size flatbed. Plus additional paper drawers, each for 150 sheets and the another for 250. It's even flexible to keep two different kinds or sizes of paper loaded at once. When it comes to connectivity, it comes with both an Ethernet connection and a Wi-Fi support. For supplies and accessories, it uses Innobella High Yield ink cartridges, and Brother is known for cheap price ink cartridges and brother toner cartridges that suit your budget.

For the installation, it comes with a disc that has an automated installation program that runs in Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Vista 64bit, and Mac OS. Just load the printer paper, install all the cartridges and it's ready to go. If you prefer an AIO printer that can only print letter and legal size, then there's a lot of them that I can suggest, but if you need both letter-and-legal-size as well as tabloid-size printing then Brother MFC-6490CW is just perfect for your tight budget.
