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.

If A4 paper just isnt big enough, then Brothers MFC-6490CW might just be your next multifunction printer. It isnt the best or fastest A3 printer available, but the combination of features and its low running cost make it a tempting buy. Though it has the basic shape and look of a standard Brother inkjet multifunction printer, the MFC-6490CW is a different beast altogether. Its wide and deep enough to cope with A3 media, and high enough to fit 400 sheets at a time. It isnt as big as the Eps...

Most A3 all-in-ones we see are laser based, have prices in the thousands and have dimensions a small building would be proud of. Brother’s MFC-6490CW is different: it’s an inkjet A3 all-in-one – the only one we’ve ever seen – and as a result it’s much...
