Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What does the "N" represent in the MFC-5490CN model name?
  The "N" specifies an integrated Ethernet network print server layout. Unlike traditional desktop units that require a single direct-wire workstation, this Multi-Function Center pipes straight into your office network switch so multiple computer terminals can share network printing, digital color scanning, and PC-FAX pipelines simultaneously.
• Can I swap single color ink tanks or do I replace a combined cartridge block?
  The MFC-5490CN 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 integrated 64 MB onboard memory cache layer that automatically captures and preserves up to 480 pages of document data. Your faxes are safely kept in storage and will automatically print out the absolute moment fresh paper or ink supplies are loaded.
