Buy Brother MFC-5460cn Color Photo Inkjet All-in-One Flatbed with Networking

This is a great multifunction unit!

STRENGTHS
-Cost: Try to find it refurbished. I got mine for $40.
-Very fast faxing and scanning with the automatic document feeder (ADF). Most units with an ADF are far more expensive.
-Doubles as a card reader, with a number of card types accepted. It has one-button operation ("Photo Capture") to access the files on the card.
-Programmable scanning modes: You can program 4 quickly-accessible scanning modes (ex: scan in B&W at 400dpi with a pdf output) through the software.

WEAKNESSES
-The unit can be difficult to work with when someone is on the phone line. Sometimes it won't turn on or won't let you perform certain operations.
-The printing quality is okay, but not spectacular. The cartridges are expensive, but I bought off-brand cartridges, which seem to work just fine.
-It has a color and black button, but those are just for copying; it would be great if they were for scanning too.
-The scan quality is not the greatest, but it's good enough for scanning in documents. I've cleaned up my office a lot by scanning in hundreds of pages quickly with the ADF.

Overall, the machine is a steal, if only for the automatic document feeder.Get more detail about Brother MFC-5460cn Color Photo Inkjet All-in-One Flatbed with Networking.
