Key Advantages

The MFC-420CN provides versatile all-in-one office capabilities such as printing, scanning, copying, and color faxing. It offers high print resolution with innobella inks, enhancing photographic and document quality. The compact design optimizes desk space while still supporting multiple functionalities. USB 2.0 connectivity ensures fast and reliable data transfer to compatible computers. Separate ink cartridges result in economical printing costs by reducing waste. The device also supports wireless printing via optional accessories, expanding its connectivity options.

Limitations

Despite its multifunctionality, print speeds are moderate compared to laser printers—approximately 10 ppm in black and 5 ppm in color. The paper input tray capacity is limited (around 100 sheets), which may require frequent reloads in high-demand environments. It lacks built-in wireless networking, requiring optional adapters for Wi-Fi printing. Scan speed is moderate and the automatic document feeder is absent, limiting multi-page scanning efficiency. The inkjet technology may produce less durable prints when compared to laser counterparts. Additionally, newer operating system compatibility may be outdated.
