Key Advantages

The Brother MFC-6490CW offers a compact all-in-one solution ideal for busy offices needing multifunctional capabilities. Its high print resolution produces sharp and vibrant documents and images. Fast print speeds minimize wait time, boosting workflow efficiency. The device's network capabilities enable multiple users to print and scan conveniently. Automatic duplex printing reduces paper consumption, promoting eco-friendly usage. Ease of use is enhanced by a color touchscreen LCD for intuitive operation and menu navigation.

Limitations

The MFC-6490CW's inkjet technology, while versatile, generally has higher operational costs compared to laser printers. The print speed, while decent, cannot match high-volume laser printers in large office environments. The paper input capacity is limited to 150 sheets, which may require frequent refilling in heavy-use scenarios. Scanner speed and resolution are moderate and may not suffice for professional image scanning tasks. It lacks modern wireless connectivity options such as Wi-Fi direct or cloud printing support. Over time, the device may require more maintenance due to inkjet usage and potential clogging issues.
