The imageCLASS MF4690 model uses a 33.6 Kbps Super G3 fax2 for the rapid fax transmission. The device's 35-page ADF allows one-to-two sided copying, printing, and faxing and is equipped with a 250-sheet front-loading paper cassette that resides neatly in bottom of the unit. The MF4690 model can copy up to 8.5 inches x 14 inches (legal) from the ADF or letter-sized using the platen glass. For optimal speed when printing and scanning, MF4690 MFP provides a USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. 2.0 Hi-Speed interface3. The MF4690 device provides built-in network connectivity for multiple office users.
