Great machine for a home office

Strengths: Great with a Mac, wireless, just a plug and your good, auto doc feeder is great

Weakness: Could be slightly easier interface for setting up some settings where terms are forun in the WLan settings

I've had this machine for over a year, and it is a great value. I use it at home and a brothers 9840cdw at the office, both work seemlessly with my mac, and brothers customer support is great, even years after a purchase. Perfect for scanning, autodoc feeder is solid, printing is fast, and though I don't use the faxing capability anymore it was fine when I did.

MFC-6490CW Workhorse of the home office

Strengths: Handles ledger (11X17) paper 4 ink cartridges Simple but functional software Networking options

Weakness: No duplex Slow Big and bulky

I have been using this printer now for a year. I print,copy,fax, and scan and have never experienced a paper jam including 11X17 size which I use for large spreadsheets. I especially like its networking capability and it currently supports 5 PC's (PC's and Macs) over a Wireless G network. If it had a duplex option and printed a little faster it would be the perfect printer.

BROTHER SERVICE STINKS

Strengths: Great idea behind the all-in-one that prints 11x17 borderless.

Weakness: poor color out put and terrible customer service when delivering a working product

I had this machine for 2 whole weeks when it just powered off and NEVER turned on again. Problem with Brother is you either get a great product or a lemon!! So I called them and emailed them, "tried plugging it in different outlets," and at their request took it to the service center (30 miles away). The service center ordered new parts, then ordered more parts when those didn't solve it. Then I...
