Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description The Brother MFC-5490CN Professional Series Color Inkjet All-in-One with Ethernet Networking does everything you need in a small office in one small device, letting you save time, space, and money. And with built-in networking, it is easy to share the device with everyone on the network.

The Brother MFC-5490CN offers:
  • Print speeds of up to 35 ppm black & white and 28 ppm color.
  • Stand-alone copying and faxing.
  • Flatbed scanner with OCR software.
  • Integrated networking for sharing the device among multiple computers.


An automatic document feeder lets you copy, fax, or scan multiple sheets easily.


Controls are conveniently located at the front of the machine for easy access.
Print Top-Quality Documents Fast
The MFC-5490CN prints both documents and photos at up to 6000 x 1200 dpi and can reach speeds of up to 35 ppm black and 28 ppm color. The printer supports paper sizes up to legal size (8 x 14 inches), and has a large 150-sheet input tray so you won't have to constantly add more paper. It uses separate ink cartridges for each color so you only replace the color that runs out.

You can also print photos directly from the printer without using your PC thanks to the PhotoCapture Center. You can import photos directly using either the built-in media card slot or by connecting a PictBridge-enabled camera or USB flash memory. The media card slot supports compact flash, memory stick, memory stick pro, SD, SDHC, xD, and xD TypeM/TypeH.

Copy and Scan with the Same Device
The MFC-5490CN lets you copy and scan as well as print from the same device. The stand-alone copier doesn't require a PC and can make both black-and-white and color copies at a speed of 23 cpm black and 20 cpm color. 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.

Send and Receive Black-and-White and Color Faxes
A high-speed Super G3 33.6K bps fax modem lets you send and receive black-and-white and color faxes at up to three seconds per page. The 50-sheet automatic document feeder lets you send faxes unattended. In addition to functioning as a stand-alone fax, it also works as a PC fax.

Built-In Networking Lets Everyone Use the Device
The device has wired 10/100 Base-TX networking built in, making it simple to share the device with everyone in your network.

The Brother MFC-5490CN measures 17.3 x 8.7 x 15.9 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 20.7 pounds. It is Energy Star compliant and is backed by a two-year warranty.

I Love This One! May 9, 2009
I got it [...] and I couldn't be happier. I am able to work from home becasue I have this unit. I love the feature in which I can scan to email as PFDs.
I have been using the printer for 6 months and need to replace the black, so I am happy with the ink usage. The paper handling may not be perfect but it is way better than the last HP I had and has never jammed on me. I haven't tried printing photos because that is not why I bought it. I have a Canon I use for that.

The poster that indicated he had to enable file and printer sharing is not correct. I just hook it to my router and any computer in my home I install the driver on can use the printer.

For the price it is a great all in one. It prints very quickly, receives and sends faxes in record time. I am very happy. Buy it.

Good printer May 15, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

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).
