The Brother MFC-990CW Multifunction Inkjet Printer is an all-in-one printer, copier, scanner and fax which includes a digital answering machine with a full duplex speakerphone and a 5.8GHz digital cordless handset. With built-in wireless and wired network connectivity, and Bluetooth technology, this printer can be shared by users in a workgroup, and photos can be printed directly from most Bluetooth enabled hand held devices.

Comments about Brother MFC-990CW Wireless All-In-One Color Inkjet Printer w/5.8GHz Handset:
This machine is multi-functional, which is what I love about it. The touchscreen is very easy to use. However, the color print quality is not amazing...it is pretty grainy. I don't need that color all that much, but if you are looking for a printer for images, don't get this one. Otherwise, it is good!

Comments about Brother MFC-990CW Wireless All-In-One Color Inkjet Printer w/5.8GHz Handset:
This printer is perfect for our small office, but the only problem I have is that I can not send information to it to print from my laptop via Bluetooth. Other than that, the printer works great!
