Brother MFC-5460CN

$150.00 Released September, 2006

The Pros:Wired/wireless networking are a great feature for this price range. Wholly internal paper feeder keeps form factor compact, no overhanging paper management parts. Lower cost-per-page operation than similar competitors' models.

The Cons:USB and ethernet ports are placed awkwardly inside the printer body. Photo print quality is not as good as some cheaper photo printers. Included scanning software is not very reliable and sometimes simply fails to scan.

The Brother MFC-5460CN is an inkjet-based all-in-one machine with scan, copy, print, and fax capabilities. It features shared networking via ethernet cabling, a 35-page automatic document feeder for multiple-item scan, copy, or fax jobs, and support for direct photo printing with PictBridge-compatible USB devices and flash-memory card slots.
