Brother MFC-J497DW

Quick view

The Brother MFC-J497DW is a compact all-in-one inkjet printer designed for efficient office document handling with printing, scanning, copying, and faxing capabilities. It supports wireless connectivity via Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct, enabling convenient printing from mobile devices and computers without cables. The printer uses four individual Inkjet cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) for precise color control and efficient ink use. It supports automatic duplex printing which helps reduce paper consumption. The device features a 20-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) for convenient multi-page scanning and copying tasks. It offers a print speed of up to 27 pages per minute (ppm) in black and 10 ppm in color for balanced productivity.

The Brother MFC-J497DW delivers high print quality with its 6000 x 1200 dpi resolution, producing sharp text and vibrant colors. Its wireless and mobile device compatibility offers flexibility in various office environments. The automatic duplex printing reduces paper usage and operational costs. The device's compact footprint makes it suitable for small workspaces or home offices. Its user-friendly 1.8-inch color display touchscreen simplifies navigation and operation. The inclusion of an automatic document feeder enhances multi-page processing efficiency for copied or scanned documents.

The printer uses inkjet technology, which generally results in higher per-page ink costs compared to laser printers, especially in high volume printing scenarios. The print speeds, while adequate for small office tasks, are slower compared to many laser multifunction printers, potentially causing delays with large print jobs. It has a relatively small paper input capacity of 100 sheets, which could require frequent refilling in busy environments. The 1.8-inch display is small compared to more advanced models, limiting ease of complex settings adjustments. The scanner offers a maximum optical resolution of 1200 x 2400 dpi, which might be insufficient for high-detail scanning needs. The MFC-J497DW does not support Ethernet connectivity, limiting wired networking options primarily to USB connections.
