Re: [PLUG] inexpensive network scanner or MFP?
|
I have a Brother MFC 640W which does all you ask for exceot it is a lser
jet. Printing text is fine. Graphics works well but I've seen better.
Scanning to PDF works w/o a PC which is awesome - multipaged PDF or TIFF
as well. It connects wired Ethernet (how I use it) or wireless (USB as
well).
The only thing I'm hesitant about is the ink cartridge has a lifespan
and I've not looked into how to (if it is possible) to bypass.
