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.

The Brother MFC-490CWs strongest suit is its comprehensive connectivity, with Ethernet and USB ports tucked neatly away under the scanner cover. Wireless connectivity is also available and can be initiated directly from the device. However you cannot use both network interfaces simultaneously. The Brother MFC-490CW doesn’t offer auto...
