 "First one wouldnt print black" 2010-08-23
By Gina Gray (Prunedale, CA United States)
Got one from costco. Test page wouldn't print black, so called CS & was sent a new one (they needed a credit card to send you a second one, no charges have appeared as long as you send them the old one within 3 days of getting the new one).

Anyway, the new one is working fine so far. Seems to be an OK printer, if you can deal with the hassle of possibly getting a printer with issues. Do like the print quality, cost for cartridges.

 "ZERO stars for ZERO customer service!" 2010-07-30
By Isuzan (Midwest)
Well, give it up for another company that sent it's customer service people jobs overseas - they can only read from a script and nothing else. I purchased this printer at Staples yesterday; got a great deal on it (SO I THOUGHT) 'cause they were clearancing them out for the newer model. I even looked at Amazon reviews prior to purchasing it. Some were so stellar I thought, "Hey, I have to give this a try!" but the bad ones really made me nervous. Guess I should've gone with my gut.



I happily unpacked it today, put the cartridges in, and it printed out a perfect page. HOORAY! NOT SO FAST THERE 'PARDNER...I shouted in jubilation far too quickly. Immediately it went into convulsions (that machine gun sound) and gave me the dreaded error, "Unable to Init. AF". I went through all the troubleshooting online and called their "Customer service" center (and I use this term loosely). He said it definately needed to be replaced, and would be happy to assist.



He said that he'd need a credit card to put a $50 hold on my credit card "In case the original machine is not returned". WHAT? I said, "I don't have a credit card". My only other two options were to take it to service center (this thing is HEAVY...I should not have to lug it an hour away to get it repaired - oh, and wait at least a week); or I could pay to insure it and send it back to Brother at my OWN EXPENSE.



After hours of this nonsense (trying to get a non-working new printer to work) and dealing with non-English speaking individuals who don't understand the nuances of the English language, I'm perturbed and will NEVER recommend or purchase a Brother product again. I will find someone who can give me a credit card so this can be exchanged and be done with it; but will spread the word that this company is awful to do business with - and that this product should be avoided at all costs. Hopefully the replacement works; I'll update this later if it does not.



I purchased one other Brother printer this year - through Amazon, and had to send it back as it also have untold errors. Does Mickey Mouse put these things together?



Is there a number less than ZERO I could give this manufacturer and product? Sure wish there was!

 "Love this all in one / Great preformance, low operating cost." 2010-07-26
By Lance L. Scheafnocker
I am very impressed at the longevity of the ink cartridges of this machine, bought this at the end of April this year have run off at least 200 plus copy's and have not had to replace the ink cartridges yet. On my Lexmark 7100 I would have done a replacement twice by now. What a difference and a pleasure to have this machine it has almost paid for itself just in a few months and I have years of warranty left and I bought two sets of ink replacements with it. I am probably set for at least the rest of this year and maybe to the anniversary of me buying it next year, it was easy to set up, its easy to use and best of all my wife likes it and has told me thank you for buying it; and after 25yrs of marriage I did something right thanks "Brother" you made it possible.

Its is worth every penny you pay for it. Thanks Amazon for bringing us these high quality products and the extended warranty's that are offered it really makes the purchases a even better deal.

 "Very user unfriendly" 2010-06-11
By freeseek
I setup this printer yesterday in my lab. I was very surprised at first that there was no mention of where the network cable needs to be inserted. Basically you have to open the printer first. I have no idea why they decided to make it so complicated. Setting the printer up is overall a bit of a pain. For some reasons there is no web server working on it, though port 80 seems to be open. The little menu is very counterintuitive as it is not clear what you have to do to go back through the menus. The last straw came today when the printer refused to work, giving the only message "unable to print 30". There is no clue given about what this means and about what to do. Reading on the internet, it seems something might have got stuck. Not bad since we printed something like 5 pages before this happened. But what really angers me is that there is no explanation given for the error, just a useless number. The printer is clearly not thought with the user in mind. Be prepared to waste a lot of your time. I hope my lab will be able to return it.

 "Oh Brother" 2010-06-07
By Robert Duane Nickols (Tennessee)
I got the printer and it was easy to set up on our three computers. I love the 11 x 17 printing. The only problem I have had is that under the normal quality setting, black is more a very dark grey. Under the fine quality setting, the black is black. I order remanufactured cartridges from [...] for about $2.50 each. It is a big printer but it is a great printer.

 "Not a wireless Printer" 2010-08-11
By SSV
I had to contact Brother 2 times to get my printer set up wirelessly. Nothing they did and had me do worked. I then had a computer technician come over and he couldn't get it to work. I even contacted Verizon Fios and they gave me all I needed (which I already had) and it still didn't work. I had the proper wire to connect the printer to my router.



I use my Brother Lazer printer more than I use this machine so can't really comment on how long the ink lasts. I bought this mainly for the duplex scanner.

 "ehh!" 2010-08-01
By S. Platt (LB, CA)
We bought this becasue it was a wireless unit and boy was it a pain in the butt to set up. Initially we had a cable modem and it seemed like weekly I would have to call my cable co. to figure out was was the best setting for it. Then we moved and had DSL again. Not as tricky this time around to set up well I think the hours of frustration prior to this helped that affair. Then we started having this problem when I got a new laptop and my husbands laptob had to be on and open since it didn't recognise mine. Gets even better folks so my laptop went away for a while, I get it back and what do you know, I don't need to open the other laptop and it works just fine. Never touching one setting on it. major complaints no double sided printing, not too user friendly, the head cleaning function comes on at 3 in the morning, wish it had auto tray when you go to copy something from it. It prints but will not buy another like it again.

 "great buy for our office" 2010-07-21
By L. E. McCorkle (Redding, CA usa)
This is the second Brother all-in-one I have purchased. (The first is still being used at my old duty station and all are pleased with it.) This one, for my new duty station is awesome. I have tried the OCR and was amazed at the quality. A couple of clitches in translating, for instance the recycle symbol at the bottom of the page was translated "ow" but with a quick read through you can catch things like that. It was easy to set up. Have not set it up for fax yet. We have to call a tech in for that. But as a copier-scanner-printer it is awesome. A great investment of less than $400. I don't think you will be disappointed with this machine.

 "Broke down within 2 weeks" 2010-05-08
By Jancis Curiskis
Bought this Item due to it's price and ability to scan in 11 x 17 format. I bought it understanding that at this price it would be made of cheap thin plastic parts that the operator would need to handle carefully to prevent breakage. 3rd time using it I turn it on to scan and it goes blank and no longer comes on. It has been in the repair shop for over a week now. The repair shop had plenty of "brother" products keeping them in business. needless to say I am a bit worried about the reliability of this product. Ease of use, setup, and print quality really don't come into play if the machine does not work and ends up spending more time in the repair shop than here working for me. Perhaps this is an unfortunate one time glitch. My advice would be to check with your local repair shops and find out what machines seem to be frequenting their shelves.

 "It's ok" 2010-05-03

It is very difficult to hook up and very slow i had to call customer service to assist me in the set-up process. It prints ok but is not what i expected.

 "Great, except color quality" 2010-08-10
By Yooper (Minneapolis)
Alright, this machine was relatively cheap for what one gets: color, scanner, 11x17, wireless connection, etc. I can't complain too much, BUT if your concerned about color reproduction then go somewhere else. The color printed is somewhat washed out/faded from what's on the screen. I've been through all the software and hardware settings, as well as 2 calls to customer support (fairly useless each time) and it seems that is simply how this thing prints. Again, I suppose it's OK given the price, but still a bit of a bummer when other 5 year old ink jet printers print better colors. Oh well.

 "Good for 11x17 printing; poor for color scans & duplex" 2010-08-09
By Geminica (Portland, OR)
I love that this scanner/printer is 11x17, and very affordable, and has wifi. All that is great. However it's been a big problem for us, because:



1. We were intending to manually fake duplex by running pages through a second time, and

2. I need to scan color drawings on off-white paper.



You cannot do manual duplex on this machine. It feeds multiple pages at once or it jams. I was trying to print my 20-page zine, and it's taken 4 hours already today due to slow print speeds, jams, multiple page feeds... a real pain. I have maybe 60 duplex sheets printed, and about 25 pages in the wastepaper bin.



Secondly, the color sensitivity in the scanner is poor. I do watercolor drawings on deeply cream-toned paper, and the paper scans as pure white - obviously this means all the actual watercolors get quite washed out as well. It works well for black and white, and *sometimes* for color - but I wouldn't recommend this scanner for artists.



The software is a bit limited as well; it's constantly trying to print to the wrong paper tray, hard to clear it when it gets stuck, and sometimes we can't figure out why it's still trying to go to tray 2 when we already told it to go to tray 1. More paper wasted.



In the end, I think this machine would be great for a lot of people, but don't touch it with a ten foot pole if you're trying to print comics or zines or if you scan color art.

 "Great Printer" 2010-07-23
By MDB
I think that this is the best printer I have ever owned. I've had it for less than a week but so far it has done everything I've asked of it flawlessly including wirelessly scanning!



I use the 11 X 17 for construction drawings frequently and now have the ability to scan them too from my home office! The print quality is great as well. I love the CC3 Control Center interface that Brother has for software. It works wonderfully and I am able to set up many custom functions for scanning easily. This software also didn't take a lot of time to install like the HP stuff I've had in the past and it didn't give me all sorts of other junk like HP always does. The software works fine on my machine (Dell Lattitude D620/Windows XP Pro.)



The set up was easy enough and didn't really take much time. In fact it took me longer to get the wireless log in info from my router than it did to set up the printer (about 20 minutes total)



This morning I printed several 4X6 photos of a projecct and they came out great. One of the only issues I'd suggest is a separate port to load photo paper as I had to pull out the 8.5 X 11 but I don't print that many pictures so I don't anticipate it being a problem.



I love the option of having 2 trays and keep the top loaded with 8.5 X 11 and the bottom with 11 X 17.



As far as the cost of ink goes it seems to be about the middle of the road. But I'll admit I don't really ever know how much ink is really in any of the cartridges for any brand ink anyhow.



I don't use the fax too much but I've been able to send and receive with no problems. Couldn't do that on my previous ones very well for some reason.



After years of struggling with previous all in ones I'm very pleased to have this one. I can now fully appreciate the productivity I've gained by not fussing with printer problems all day!



Thank You Brother. This is great!

 "Brother Reliability" 2010-07-15
By Michael D. Mcgough (Montgomery, AL)
Have had this product for almost two years. Has been very reliable. one misfeed since ownership. Fantastic to have ability to print 11 x 17. I use for printing 1/2 size architectural plans. Does very nice letter quality and can do reasonable photo printing. Buy with confidence.

 "Best < $500.00 Color Tabloid MFC on the market" 2010-07-14
By In4mation
I generally don't take the time to post product reviews but I felt this machine was deserving. You'll notice I won't refer to it as a 'printer' because that would border on insulting. Printing is only one of the many things this unit is capable of. Not to mention the ability to scan, print & copy A3/LGR size paper, all in B&W or COLOR! Can your little printer do that?



Worth mentioning, after years of dealing with defective and poor quality products from a company that has the letters HP in their name, Brother has been a winner for me and everyone I recommended. Who also coincidentally asked me what to buy when their printer made by the above mentioned printer Co. died after only 6-12 months. My +10 year old Brother MFC-8200 B&W Laser is still fully functional and now sitting next to the new Brother MFC-6490. I simply grew tired of waiting for it to die and since it still works perfectly, I decided to keep it. Time will tell if the 6490 can print as many BOXES of paper as the 8200 has in the +10 years I've had it.



In summation, the term "Jack of all trades, master of none" nicely sums up an MFC machine and in particular, the MFC-6490CW. I believe Brother built this machine to fill a MUCH NEEDED gap in the small office segment. If that was their intention, I think they achieved their goal quite nicely at a very affordable price point. If someone locates a more capable A3/LGR Color MFC office machine anywhere close to this price point, PLEASE let us know!!!
