This is the smallest of Brother’s inkjet all-in-one printers. It has the same basic design as the company’s twin-tray, A3-capable machines and appears surprisingly squat, given its single tray. Because it’s geared at the SOHO market, we’d anticipate a respectable turn of speed for home or small office chores. The MFC-5490CN is a large printer with a modest profile when not in use. This is slightly increased when the 30-sheet Automatic Document Feeder is opened (ADF). Printing paper is fed from a 150-sheet cassette that fits in the front, however there is no separate photo feed, and you must remove the ordinary paper to load photo blanks. The control panel is full-width, with a backlit, 2-line by 16-character LCD display and four illuminated mode buttons in front for fax, scan, copy, and photo capture. A cross of navigation controls and four more auxiliary buttons are to the right of these buttons, while a number pad for fax dialing is to the left. To the left of the number pad, there are six single-click dials and various buttons for configuring fax and copy settings. At the far right end, there are mono and color start buttons, as well as one to cancel a current work. This all-in-one comes standard with USB and Ethernet connectors, which are inconveniently located inside the machine and must be fed through from the back. The fax line and phone sockets are located on the left side, adjacent to the mains connection. The Brother MFC-5490CN comes with drivers for Windows and Mac OS X, as well as a Linux driver that may be downloaded. As with all-in-ones in the past, the corporation includes OCR software as well as its own scanning support program. On the first page of Brother’s website, it offers unique qualities of its inkjet kit, including speed. We’d have expected the firm would prefer to keep this part of performance under wraps. It may advertise rapid print speeds of 35ppm and 28ppm for black and color print, respectively, but for the vast majority of individuals printing in regular print settings, speeds are less than a tenth of these values. They’ve fashioned a rod for their own backs, since they all need to demonstrate that they can keep up with the group in terms of speed. Brother, on the other hand, appears to be worse than most because it only mentions these draft speeds. Printing from memory cards on the MFC-5490CN isn’t as simple as it could be because it first attempts to transfer photographs to any connected PC. When you override this, it prompts you to select photographs by number, therefore you should definitely print a proof sheet on plain paper before you begin. Printing from a PictBridge camera, where you can preview photographs on the camera’s screen, is significantly easier.
