Features

The MFC-490CW not only combines a colour printer, copier, scanner and fax into one unit, but has additional Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) and wired/wireless connectivity. Office work is now all the easier at home or at the work place, whenever and wherever.

* Ease of Use: 3.3” widescreen colour LCD lets you easily access copy and scan settings, and even preview, edit and enhance your photos at the touch of a button, without the use of a PC.

* Connectivity: Easily share this MFC on your network to print, scan, PC fax and access your digital camera media cards or USB flash memory drive.

* PC-free Photo Printing: Direct photo printing capabilities let you print borderless photos directly from digital camera and memory cards without the need of a PC, via PictBridge and PhotoCapture Centre’s multiple media slots. Additional convenience is enabled with the ability to print directly from, or scan to, a USB flash memory drive.

* Digital Fax: Super G3 Fax allows transmissions of up to 3 seconds per document; while unique PC Fax feature lets you receive faxes in soft copy, even when the PC is turned off, so that you can weed out junk faxes and print only those transmissions you want.

* Costs-saving: You only replace the colour cartridge that has run out, which gives greater costs saving.
