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.

 Incredible price for a fully functional larger format printer scanner September 6, 2010
Osotoh (Santa Barbara, CA)
I have a 42" plotter for my small business, but it is expensive and much of what is needed fits just fine on 11x17. Likewise a large format scanner is beyond means and again most items to be scanned can be done in 1-4 scans at 11x17. We are goeologists and make large, complex and colorful maps and montages but rarely photographic quality. We make lots of 11x17 "brochures" folded to page size.
this little printer scanner has worked like a charm for 2+ years and we have bought 3 more for our other offices. All work great and at less than 5% of the purcahse price of large format plotters and scanners!
Brother MFC-6490 August 31, 2010
A. W. Hegler (sacramento,ca)
Basically I have found this Brother MFC-6490-CW to do what I wish, very good scanning, the A3 the main reason I bought it, then the combination of printer and fax cleans up my desk/work area. Fab that there is no USB needed. Some parts of the trays seems a bit flimsy, but not in areas where I would be stressing the parts.
So Far pleased. Have yet to see about ink use, time will tell.
Awesome small job site printer August 29, 2010
KernelHappy
I purchased this printer for a construction job site and I have been very surprised by it. I needed something cheap just to print certain submittals so I went cheap as I could find.
Pros:
- Full 11x17 scanning surface, great for scanning portions of full size drawings.
- Dual paper trays, didn't realize this when I ordered it, great surprise.
- Quick, especially for an inkjet. I haven't timed it but it makes short work of 11x17 Gannt charts (project schedule).
- Maybe the ink level sensors are optimistic, but I've run off maybe 50, 11x17 Gannt charts and another dozen or so 11x17 plan prints, and it's yet to show a dent in ink levels.
- Quiet, cannot hear it over the air conditioning (although the AC is pretty loud).
- Setup was a breeze, i'm an ex-IT professional, but I'm pretty sure that anyone with basic network awareness can set it up. I was short a network cable so I connected to the wifi, set a static ip (although it initially grabbed one via DHCP) and then ran the installer, which located the printer and installed flawlessly. As a bonus the installer package was a small download (especially compared to HP's), the status monitor doesn't use much in the way of resources (3MB or so of RAM) even though it's monitoring two network printers on this job (Brother 8480DN) and plays nice with druvers from a Brother 7340 from another site and a HP C6100 at home (yech).
- Shipped Amazon prime, $4 next day, how the heck can you go wrong?
Cons (barely):
- Its has a rather large footprint. It's not really a con since it's large size is a side effect of the large scanning surface, just make sure you have room for it.
- It's only 4 color. Print quality for business printing is fine, but I haven't done any photographs but i'm not expecting much from a 4 color printer.
The only thing that would make it better is if it printed 12x18 (so I could halve a 24"x36" drawing while maintaining semi-usable scale, but this is a rare ability in general so I can't hold it against it). In short; I was excited about the value two weeks ago when the price was higher, it's even better now that it's come down. It's a high recommend.
Great Price for an 11x17 August 12, 2010

While the print quality isn't going to compete with a 6 or 8 ink Epson, you aren't going to find a better deal for a printer (that also scans up to) 11x17 and throws in wireless networking as the icing on the cake. Cheap ink is readily available and you get good mileage out of the cartridges--unlike Epson.
 Great, except color quality August 10, 2010

Alright, this machine was relatively cheap for what one gets: color, scanner, 11x17, wireless connection, etc. I can't complain too much, BUT if your concerned about color reproduction then go somewhere else. The color printed is somewhat washed out/faded from what's on the screen. I've been through all the software and hardware settings, as well as 2 calls to customer support (fairly useless each time) and it seems that is simply how this thing prints. Again, I suppose it's OK given the price, but still a bit of a bummer when other 5 year old ink jet printers print better colors. Oh well.
