Make high-quality prints, copies, scans, and faxes with the MFC-6490cw.
Large Prints for a Big Impact
Unlike most printers and multi-function devices in this range, the MFC-6490cw prints on up to ledger-size (11 x 17-inch) paper, giving you the versatility to print presentations, signs, reports, photos, and other print-outs that will give you a more dramatic visual impact.

Built-In Wireless and Wired Network Capability
The MFC-6490cw features both a built-in 10/100 Ethernet and 802.11b/g Wireless networking interface. Simply connect it to your router and everyone on the network with wireless capabilities can print, scan, fax, and access the digital camera media cards. With support for WiFi Protected Setup, network security setup is as easy as a push of the button.

Fast, High Quality Printing in Color
The MFC-6490cw offers up to 35ppm black and 28ppm color printing, so you'll never be kept waiting. Featuring a 4-cartridge ink system, the device can print up to a maximum resolution of 6000 x 1200 dpi for outstanding, crisp text and photo quality. Borderless prints are no problem, and the device includes two input trays with a capacity of 150 pages and 250 pages each. The printer has a recommended monthly print volume of up to 2000 pages, and a maximum monthly duty cycle of up to 5,000 printed pages.

Scan, Copy, and Fax
In addition to answering your printing needs, you can also rely on the MFC-6490cw for your black-and-white and color scanning. With an optical resolution of 1200 x 2400 dpi with a 48-bit color depth, you'll get crisp, clear scans of photos, as well as text. Included OCR software for both PC and Macs lets you convert documents into editable text. Scanned documents and images can be exported as graphic files such as TIFF, JPEG, BMP, and PDF.



Edit and print photos directly from your digital camera and memory cards.
You can also make high-quality copies without the need for turning on your computer. Simply place up to 50 pages on the automatic document feeder for copies at a speed of up to 23 copies per minute black and 20 cpm color. Just as with printing, you can copy up to ledger-size sheets. The copier automatically sorts and can reduce and enlarge from 25 to 400 percent of the original.

The fax function has Super G3 capability, which means that you can transmit black-and-white and color faxes at the fastest speed possible (approximately three seconds per page). Out-of-paper reception, auto fax reduction, fax forwarding for black-and-white faxes, and automatic redial are all supported. The fax machine is caller ID and call waiting caller ID ready.

Built-in Media Card Reader for Quick Photo Printing
The MFC-6490cw's PhotoCapture Center has a memory reader for CF, MS, MS Pro, SD, SDHC, xD, xD type M/H, and USB Flash drives, letting you pull photos you've taken and edit them directly on the integrated widescreen 3.3-inch color LCD display. You can crop, auto correct, enhance skin tone, enhance scenery, remove red-eye, and convert to monochrome or sepia, and then print them out.

The Brother MFC-6490cw measure 21.3 x 12.7 x 19.2-inches (WxHxD) and weighs 34 pounds. It is backed by a 2-year warranty.

3 out of 5 stars Nice idea but poor color saturation   November 20, 2008
K. Karsko (Colorado)
In testing this printer I discovered that the sharpness greatly diminishes when enlarging past 130%. Color saturation in general copies is poor for reds (looks very faded) and yellow wasn't very bright. The paper tray capacity is great but the top piece is very flimsy. Wonderful printing in black and white at 100%. This would be an excellent printer for someone needing larger sized copies in black and white or with small amounts of color. Not very good as a photo printer. The wireless works fine too. If you need sharp enlargements and better color saturation (photos and copies) I would go with one of the HP printers with 9600 dpi.


5 out of 5 stars Works with a Mac - WIRELESSLY   November 19, 2008

I unboxed our new MFC-6490CW last night and set it up. Within 10 minutes I had it connected to our wireless network. Loaded the included software on my wife's new Macbook Pro and I could SCAN and PRINT wirelessly!

Have a stack of bills you want to store electronically? This thing will scan to your PC through it's auto document feeder directly to the mac or pc over the network.

Want to fax something from your desktop? From the Mac or PC it works.

Amazing device. It has email features that I have yet to read about, but from what I can see it can scan to email, and print/fax from an incoming email as well. I picked it up at OfficeMax for less than $200 shipped with a coupon. Killer deal on a very useful device. Size is a consideration as others have noted, but its no bigger than you would expect from a wide-format and wide-scanning device. And where else can you find a 11X17 scanner for $200? For $300? Nowhere.



4 out of 5 stars Great Printer. Leaves HP in the dust.   November 14, 2008

I really needed a low cost printer with 11x17 capability and this printer is the perfect solution. Easy to set up. Works great. Very good print quality for an ink jet. The software is excellent. Only negative is I wish there was a manual feed option for instances when I need to print an envelope or a paper size not already in tray #1 or #2. But overall, this printer is much better than the HP all in one in my opinion.


4 out of 5 stars Another gret feature San to PDF   October 27, 2008

I don't own this printer yet but I've been doing research on it and I went to my local Office Depot to try it out. After downloading the manual and reading a post online I wanted to try out the Scan to PDF feature.

You can place your USB flash drive (or some compatible memory card) into the front of the device and then place up to 50 documents in the ADF and have them scan into a multi-page PDF file. Super handy. You also could have it scanned and sent as an attachment in an email or sent to an FTP location.

I could imaging this being a great feature to stay organized with receipts. You could just place them on the glass surface and have the machine store your email address "myreceipts@gmail.com" and then just keep sending them there for safe keeping.

It won't OCR when it created a PDF meaning they text in them won't be searchable but on the Mac with quickview it works great as you can just scroll through previews of them and get to the one you want pretty quickly.

As a default the scanner is set to color and PDF as output as well as putting the date as the file name. All of this can be changed though pretty easily.

I think some people would buy it for this feature alone. I looked into software for other scanners to make a multi-page PDF and it cost $150 just for the software. You still need to get the scanner.




5 out of 5 stars Perfect for what I needed!   October 14, 2008

I needed a printer that would do a poster (ledger) size photo quality print. This one does it to perfection. Goes to sleep, wakes when a print job is sent to the printer. Wirelessly connects to all points in my house.
Couldn't be happier!
