Telephone Handset

With its fully featured telecoms, handset and integrated answering machine, the MFC-685CW has it all.

Save space and money with one easy-to-use machine

Style has certainly not been compromised either. It’s got the intelligence to match its beauty, with multiple-users able to access its many functions over a network. Its full colour wide LCD display means operating this machine is simple. A dedicated USB slot is a convenient way to print direct from, or scan to, a USB Flash memory drive, whilst PictBridge means you can print directly from a digital camera.

High quality professional prints**

Printing your digital images has never been simpler. The MFC-685CW’s PhotoCapture

Centre™ lets you print borderless photos directly from your camera’s memory cards – you don’t even need a PC!, or you can print directly from a USB Flash Memory Drive using the host

USB connection.

Brother’s new print head technology produces

1.5 picolitre droplets and has the capability to accurately place these droplets onto the paper.

This helps to ensure sharper and more precise prints.

Up to 30pm* mono print speed

Up to 25ppm* colour print speed

Up to 100*** sheet paper capacity

Borderless printing

Up to 1,200 x 6,000dpi interpolated print resolution with a minimum droplet size of 1.5pl**

Versatile fax facility

An essential tool for any business, the MFC-

685CW lets you send and receive mono faxes whilst quality colour faxes can be sent and received with other colour fax compatible machines. Also the flip up LCD screen allows you to preview the fax before sending or receiving. The PC-Fax function enables you to instantly send and receive faxes to and from your PC. With its 80 speed dial locations you can store your most frequently used contacts and recover their details instantly – saving you time. You’ll never risk losing vital information because the 400 page memory will store incoming faxes should you run out of paper. The handset speakerphone and Telephone

Answering Device (TAD) completes your communication package.

You can study a complete selection of thumbnails before you make your print selection, saving time and expense.

You can also save and retrieve files via your USB flash memory drive or memory card, making this an additional and convenient data transfer tool. The

USB flash memory drive or memory card is simply shown as an additional drive on your PC.

Every machine comes with network connectivity as standard, so you can print, scan or share photos without setting up complicated systems or software. Designed for implementation into the majority of networks and supporting industry standard speed (10/100 Base-TX) and

IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless protocols, the MFC-

685CW has been designed to be universally compatible.

Innobella ink and paper

Designed to work with Brother’s range of inkjet

Multi-Function Centres ® , the Innobella original consumable range utilise state of the art technology to produce top quality prints time and time again.

Separate Innobella ink cartridges

Brother colour Multi-Function Centres ® come complete with four separate colour Innobella LC-

57 ink cartridges with fade resistant Innobella inks. Unlike some other colour multi-function products, when a single colour runs out you only replace that colour. Another feature from Brother that saves you time and money and is better for the environment.

The MFC-685CW comes with a smaller droplet size of 1.5 picolitre. When used with genuine

Brother BP61 glossy photo paper and Innobella

LC-57 ink cartridges, the result is a higher quality print with better definition.

Capillary Tube Printing Technology

Brother's revolutionary Capillary Tube Printing

Technology provides ink from the MFC-685CW’s four separate cartridges direct to the print head, allowing for a much lower profile machine. This results in smoother, quieter operation and ink cartridges that are quicker and easier to replace. Additionally because of the lighter printhead, the MFC-685CW can run at a lower power level saving you money and is better for the environment.

Environmentally Friendly Features

International Standards:

ISO 14001

As one of Australia's leading Multi-Function

Centre manufacturers, Brother takes its environmental responsibilities very seriously.

Brother Multi-Function Centres® are ISO 14001 compliant meaning that they are manufactured in accordance to international environmental standards.
