Quick view

The Brother MFC-J491DW is an all-in-one inkjet printer designed for office environments, supporting printing, scanning, copying, and faxing functionalities. It harnesses inkjet technology with a maximum print resolution up to 6000 x 1200 dpi for high-quality color and black-and-white prints. The device supports wireless networking via IEEE 802.11 b/g/n standards and includes an Ethernet port for versatile connectivity. The integrated flatbed scanner offers optical resolutions up to 1200 x 2400 dpi, facilitating precise digitization of documents. It includes a 20-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) for efficient batch scanning and copying tasks. Powered by a 250-sheet paper capacity tray, the printer can handle considerable print volumes suitable for small to medium office use.

The Brother MFC-J491DW is known for its compact footprint making it suitable for limited office space. Wireless and wired connectivity options provide flexible integration into various network environments. Multifunction capabilities consolidate several office tasks into one device, increasing operational efficiency. The printer features automatic duplex printing which reduces paper usage and enhances productivity. High print resolution ensures professional-quality output for documents and images. Additionally, the inclusion of an automatic document feeder streamlines multi-page scanning and copying jobs, reducing manual intervention.

While the MFC-J491DW uses four separate ink cartridges, the cost per page can be higher compared to some laser printers. The print speed is moderate, with up to 12 pages per minute in black and 10 pages per minute in color, which may not meet very high volume printing demands. It lacks advanced touchscreen interfaces, utilizing instead basic LCD for control, which may limit ease of use. The fax functionality is limited to standard telephone line support only, without advanced digital fax features. The paper tray capacity, while adequate, is smaller than some competitors in similar classes. The device does not support automatic duplex scanning, requiring manual page flipping for double-sided scanning.
