9-in-1 printer--makes you multitask

Leonard Goh | May 16, 2008

All-in-One (AIO) printers touting three to four features such as copying, scanning and faxing are aplenty. But when we received news of a 9-in-1 AIO, that blew us off. Well, almost.

Brother's MFC-885CW has to be one of the most feature-packed printer's we've seen this year. This color inkbox can not only print, scan, copy and fax, it is also capable of direct photo printing from a flash card or USB drive and PC fax. That's six features already. Ready for the weird-yet-wonderful? The Wi-Fi-enabled printer incorporates a cordless phone, built-in speakerphone and, to sweeten the deal, the gizmo is an answering machine, too.

Set on the printer is a nice 4.2-inch color widescreen display (one of the biggest we've seen for an AIO), which you can use to view photos or edit (tweak colors or remove red-eye) before printing.

The MFC-885CW is a part of the new lineup of printers that Brother is launching this year for its 100th anniversary. It's available now for S$528 (US$388.24).

For an additional 50 bucks, you can even make it dispense coke and toast bread. Just kidding.
