 A 5.8Ghz cordless phone lets you make phone calls while roaming your office. |
 The touchscreen display lets you enhance and print images directly from a memory card. |
The MFC-990CW features a 4.2-inch touchscreen that makes it easy to navigate menus, preview faxes, and preview/edit photos directly without a computer. You can edit and print photos directly by using either the built-in media card slot or by connecting a PictBridge-enabled camera or USB flash memory. The media card slot supports compact flash, memory stick, memory stick pro, SD, SDHC, xD, and xD TypeM/TypeH.
Print Top-Quality Photos and Documents Fast
The MFC-990CW prints both documents and photos at up to 6000 x 1200 dpi and can reach speeds of up to 33 ppm black and 27 ppm color. The printer has two separate trays: a 100-sheet tray for documents, and a separate 20-sheet bypass tray for 4 x 6-inch photos. The printer supports paper sizes up to legal size (8 x 14 inches) and can print borderless photos. It uses separate ink cartridges for each color, so you only replace the color that runs out.
Built-In Networking Lets Everyone Use the Printer
The printer has both wired and wireless networking built in, making it simple to set up the printer to be shared by everyone in your office or home. The built-in wireless supports 802.11b/g and features one-button wireless setup for simplicity. Security standards supported include SSID, WEP 64/128-bit, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK. For those without wireless, there is also a 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet port.
Copy and Scan with the Same Device
The MFC-990CW lets you copy and scan as well as print from the same device. The stand-alone copier doesn't require a PC and can make both black-and-white and color copies at a speed of 22 cpm black and 20 cpm color. It can scale copies from 25 to 400 percent of the original, and it supports sorting and 2-in-1/4-in-1 copying. A 15-sheet automatic document feeder lets you scan and copy pages unattended.
The flatbed scanner has a maximum optical resolution of 1200 x 2400 dpi at 36-bit color depth for high-quality scans. It works with both Mac OS and Windows, and includes Scansoft PaperPort v11 SE with OCR software for Windows and Presto! PageManager software for Mac.
Send and Receive Faxes and Take Calls Cordlessly
A high-speed Super G3 33.6K bps fax modem lets you send and receive black-and-white and color faxes at up to three seconds per page. A 15-sheet auto document feeder lets you fax documents unattended. In addition to functioning as a stand-alone fax, the unit also works as a PC fax.
A built-in 5.8GHz cordless telephone handset offers clear conversations when you roam around your home or office, and you can expand its functionality to up to four optional handsets. The device also has a full-duplex speaker phone for hands-free convenience. The built-in digital answering machine holds up to 29 minutes of messages.
The MFC-990CW measures 18.4 x 7.1 x 14.8 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 18.7 pounds. It is Energy Star certified and is backed by a one-year warranty.

It's sort of like finding a mate, you just might have to settle on some things.
I previously had the HP 7310 all in one, which I previously reviewed on here, but a lightning storm fried the fax board in it. The rest of the unit still worked, but I didn't want to get a separate fax machine. I called HP's customers service, and all they wanted to do was sell me a new expensive unit, at what they told me was a discount price. It was actually much cheaper elsewhere online. This would be a five star unit if not for some major flaws. I chose this unit mainly because it has an answering machine and cordless phone built in. I also liked the glossy black look of the unit. The unit has a very nice 4.3 lcd touchscreen which works quite well. Its responsive, has good color and easy to use. It tilts up and down, but this is...Read more 17 of 19 people found the following review helpful:  Wish I had waited for reviews before purchasing., Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Brother MFC-990CW Color Inkjet All-in-One with 5.8GHz Cordless Handset and Wireless Connectivity (Office Product) Absolutely frustrating. Its been anything but a hassle-free setup from the moment it was removed from the box:
1) It has flimsy parts. The paper tray has lots of internal parts you move around, the hinges of which will bend or snap easily without much effort. The scanner lid is bizarrely loose, acting like it would lift completely off, but it doesn't, resulting in an opening that isn't smooth but rather clunky. There is no manual feed area, so anything like envelopes or labels you will need to load directly into the main paper area - real pain. 2) Printing quality is just OK. Perhaps good enough for general document printing, but certainly not for images. You have to really crank up the settings to get anything but washed out colors - even then, not a deep as desired. Very disappointing. Speed is quick enough, loud however. 3) Scanning is decent enough for documents (just not great for pictures you're trying to convert to high quality scans) but has...Read more 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful:  Nice product for the price, Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Brother MFC-990CW Color Inkjet All-in-One with 5.8GHz Cordless Handset and Wireless Connectivity (Office Product) I don't really print all that much, so I haven't really "put it through its paces", but can say it was very easy to set up. I still haven't really got the fax part set up. The instructions indicate there could be confilcts between the fax function and voice mail, which turned out to be true in my case, and I still haven't wanted to get back to it. Every all in one I've ever had (HP, Canon Pixma)was a hassle to get phones, faxes and voice mail all on the same page. My only disappointment was with the cordless telephone that comes with the machine. I had hoped that having it's own phone might eliminate that problem, but it didn't. I then ordered two more handsets, thinking the mix of the Brother machine and older Panasonic phones might be the problem. I never got around to fine-tuning the fax vs. voice mail with the new handsets because they are pretty cheesy and I just didn't like them. For example, the display is tiny, does not let you know when you've missed a call, and most...Read more |
