A multifunctional is really an all-in-one device; it is both a scanner and a printer, and often even has a fax function. So effectively it's a copier, but one that has the scanning and printing functions available separately. All this is a great advantage when you have limited office space. Moreover, you will be able to work faster and more efficiently by using the device's convenient special functions.

It can be quite hard to tell the difference between Brothers all-in-one devices. So many of them have similar designs, with curved tops that get steeper towards the front, where the control panel is located. The grey-and-black MFC-490CW looks a little...

Bad No automatic duplex, poor print speeds, photo paper tray isn’t motorised...
Bottom line The Brother MFC-490CW offers good colour accuracy, but it delivers poor print speeds and has issues with text clarity...

The controls are well laid out, and the front lip of the machine contains two memory card slots and a PictBridge port. The four ink cartridges plug in at the front, to the right of the paper tray, which includes a 20-sheet photo tray in its top, though yo...
