You can import photos directly using either the built-in media card slot or by connecting a PictBridge-enabled camera or USB flash memory.

It can scale copies from 25 to 400 percent of the original, and it supports sorting and 2-in-1/4-in-1 copying. A 50-sheet automatic document feeder lets you scan and copy pages unattended.

    The flatbed scanner has a maximum optical resolution of 1200 x 2400 dpi at 36-bit color depth for high-quality scans. It works with both Mac OS and Windows, and it includes Scansoft PaperPort v11 SE with OCR software for Windows and Presto! PageManager software for Mac.

    This machine arrived very promptly. The machine does everything as advertised, and was relatively easy to set up and use for the first time. The only "problem" I had was the USB cable connection between the machine and my computer (which was not included) was not a standard USB connection on one end, and the instructions did not indicate that, either. I found out (at an office supply store) that there was another type of USB cable and was able to purchase the correct cable there).

    The printer worked fine for about 4 months, then nothing Black would print. Installed new cartridge even though existing one was 3/4 full. Still no black. Cleaning, alignment, test prints - all no black.

    Called Brother tech support and they sent me a new printer under warranty. This one worked for two weeks, and guess what - this will not print in Black now either with a new full black cartridge.

    Not worth the headache. I guess this piece of crap is made in China or something.

    I won't be buying another Brother printer if this is the standard. First, the network cable doesn't attach to the exterior like one would expect. Instead you have to snake the cable through a tight channel carved out below the scan deck. Why?

    The software is horrible. Scanning multiple documents opens separate MS Paint windows with bitmap documents of the scan. If this were 1995 that would be great but is pretty weak compared to other brands. Why would I want to scan each page into a separate document? It has a email attach option but appears to want to use Outlook Express even though I am using Outlook Exchange. Whatever.

    On the plus side the machine is compact and works well even though the software sucks.

    I buy these for work because of space limitation, they last about a year when printing 5-20 pages a day.
    They will not work if you are out of any type of ink, even if you only want to print in black & white and yellow is out. Taking out paper jams can be a pain if they are deep in, as there is no easy access unless you have the hands of a 5 year old.

    I consider these throw away printers, because once you get the generic error numbers that have no true answer to what is wrong, its cheaper to just replace then to waist the man hours attempting to fix.

    I hooked the MFC-5490CN up to my home wired network and was quickly able to print to it from my wired linux workstation and my wireless Win7 laptop. Scanning to the linux workstation was also easy and quick to set up.

    I have two quibbles with the printer, both related to its fax capability. First, it's not really compatible with a phone line that has voice mail. I could buy an answering machine to go with the setup, but it would be really great if the printer had an answering machine built in. Second, the linux fax software can only fax postscript files direct from the computer. This is an awfully limiting restriction, and it would be nice if Brother could write better linux fax support software. On the whole, though, it's a very satisfactory product.

    Have always used HP printers until now. Liked the features listed for this printer and have heard some good reports on ink usage so I thought I'd give it a try. Glad I did. It does everything it's supposed to do and does it fast. Well satisfied.

    Utilisée depuis un mois, j'ai scanné pas mal de pages,avec son chargeur de 50 documents. Mais très peu imprimé, je ne puis donc me donner un avis sur la consommation.
    D'allure robuste et au look agréable, elle est fort silencieuse par rapport à ma Canon.
    Dommage qu'elle n' ait qu'un bac de feuilles, et pas en plus un chargeur arrière. j'utilise le format A6 et si je dois utiliser un A4, je dois changer les feuilles du bac. Pour le prix et l'usage que j'en fait je suis satisfait.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Une arnaque
    Reviewed in France on February 17, 2014
    D'abord, le câble USB indispensable pour la connecter au PC n'est pas fourni. Faut le commander à part. Première déception.

    Ensuite, cette imprimante n'a jamais marché avec mon PC linux (driver incompatible).
    Elle n'a pas non plus marché avec mon MAC.

    On a réussi à la faire marcher avec un PC windows. Mais pas le scanner ni le fax. Juste l'imprimante. C'est assez restrictif.

    Ensuite, quand on ne l'utilise pas assez souvent, l'encre sèche. Il faut remplacer la cartouche. (Pour deux impressions en 6 mois, cela fait cher de la feuille).

    Enfin, quand on n'a plus de rouge (ou de bleu, ou de jaune), on ne peut pas imprimer, même en noir et blanc.

    Jamais je ne rachèterai une imprimante multi-fonction et encore moins une Brother.
