From the Manufacturer
Its sleek, low-profile–and small-footprint–design make the MFC-420CN an attractive addition to any home décor. Yet this space-saving machine offers a powerful set of high-performance features typically only found in much larger and more expensive alternatives. So don't let its surprising compactness and affordability mislead you: this is a very full-featured all-in-one that delivers performance without compromise. Practically any requirement you have–for photo-quality color output, speed, color scanning, color copying, and convenience faxing–is met by the MFC-420CN.

The MFC-420CN includes the PhotoCapture Center feature, which provides digital media slots for almost all leading digital camera media devices, and the ability to print directly from those devices with or without your computer on, or to transfer images for storage on your PC or Mac. There's no compromise on convenience features, either. The MFC-420CN offers a front-loading paper tray that holds up to 100 sheets. It also includes a convenient auto document feeder for unattended copying, faxing and scanning of up to 10 pages.

It features a 14.4K bps fax modem for sending and receiving faxes–even without a computer–using the ITU-T30e Color Fax standard. Other fax functions of this machine include 20 speed-dial locations, 200 pages of out-of-paper memory, and 70 broadcast locations (black-and-white only).

The MFC-420CN adds several key enhancements to meet your needs now, and for the future. For one, it's network ready, with built-in Ethernet connectivity. So if you have a home network now–or plan to have one soon–the MFC-420CN is ready to connect, and share its powerful features with everyone on that network, anytime you are. Simply connect it to your wired or wireless router with a standard Ethernet cable (not included).

PhotoCapture
Print crisp images directly from CompactFlash, SmartMedia, xD-Picture card, Memory Stick and Secure Digital media cards (not included). Preview images by printing an index sheet.
