Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • What do the "C" and "W" represent in the MFC-490CW model name?
    The "C" denotes color scanning/printing capabilities, while the "W" specifies integrated wireless networking architecture. It links effortlessly over your local Wi-Fi router network, freeing your workstations from direct physical cable tethers.
  • Can I swap single color ink tanks or do I replace a combined cartridge block?
    The MFC-490CW utilizes an economical 4-cartridge individual ink system layout using the Brother LC61 cartridge line. This design allows you to replace only the specific single color tank that is completely empty, cutting down heavily on running costs over unified multi-color cartridge block models.
  • Will incoming fax streams be lost if the machine runs dry of paper or ink while I am away?
    No. The system contains an upgraded 48 MB physical memory layout capable of storing up to 480 pages of document data in its digital cache layer. Your faxes are safely kept in storage and will automatically print out the absolute moment fresh paper or ink supplies are loaded.
