Brother unveils high-performance all-in-one colour laser printer

Brother International, a leader in home and business IT peripherals, which focuses on the 'customer-first' approach, launches a professional all-in-one colour laser printer for dynamic daily business activities.

The MFC-9970CDW is an excellent working companion in the demanding office environment. With its ability to print, fax, scan and copy, you can now be more efficient at work and spend less time waiting for the printouts.

Without compromising on speed for colour printing, the MFC-9970CDW has the same fast printing speed of up to 28 pages per minute for both colour and monochrome printing. MFC-9970CDW is also cleverly designed with the ability to expand along with your business, with its optional 500-sheet lower tray on top of the standard 250-sheet paper tray. With the 50-sheet Automatic Document Feeder, you can eliminate waiting time by the machine for multiple-page copying, scanning and faxing.

“The MFC-9970CDW is a combination of speed, precision and efficiency - the essential tools for an aggressive working environment. Packed with essential features for a fast-paced business big and small, this powerful all-in-one machine not only performs beyond expectation, the MFC-9970CDW improves productivity and reduces costs with its energy efficient and cost saving capabilities,” said Wayne Everton, Managing Director, Brother International South Africa.

Brother understands the need for businesses to keep running costs as low as possible. Equipped with wired and wireless network capabilities, MFC-9970CDW can be shared with multiple users in the office network by purchasing one machine, and enables space saving to utilise office space.

The MFC-9970CDW is also able to fax documents online. While traditional faxes can be sent and received with the MFC-9970CDW, sending faxes online can help businesses reduce significant phone bills.

Brother believes in giving users the ability to control their own usage. With Brother's unique Secure Function Lock, users can limit their staff's access to certain functions, such as colour printing and copying. Setting print volume allowances for specific users can also be programmed easily on the five-inch wide touch-screen LCD display control panel.

The MFC-9970CDW's N-in-1 Printing (printing multiple pages on one sheet) and the Toner Save Mode feature also play a part in reducing overheads and maximising profit. Furthermore, Brother offers super-high yield toners, resulting in an even lower cost per page.

In order to survive a competitive working environment, efficiency is a must. Brother's MFC-9970CDW is engineered with flexible media options that enable users to print on alternative sources, such as thick paper, cards or envelopes, in no time at all. With its easy to use Straight Paper Path, all you need to do is feed the special media at the front and collect the perfectly printed copy at the rear. The 50-sheet Automatic Document Feeder enables multiple page double-sided copying and scanning with ease.

In addition, the MFC-9970CDW can also produce professional-looking documents conveniently. Users can also select the A5-sized booklet function.

Web-Based Management and BRAdmin Professional are also available for the MFC-9970CDW, allowing users to troubleshoot printers and multifunction centres without leaving their desks.

Apart from easy printing and operating the MFC-9970CDW, Brother has also taken the ease of document management into consideration. With a wide range of scanning options, including scan to e-mail server via Internet fax, USB, custom scan profile, duplex, e-mail, image, OCR, file, FTP and network, users can select the saving destination of their choice, creating a fuss-free document-sharing office.

Brother recognises the need for privacy in the office. With the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, sensitive information can remain secure, even during the few seconds from the PC to the MFC-9970CDW.

To further enhance privacy and security, Brother's Secure Print feature will only print confidential documents after entering the PIN code at the printer.

Brother's MFC-9970CDW is Energy Star certified for low power consumption and operates at 1.8W when it is in deep sleep mode. MFC-9970CDW's super-low power consumption will not only reduce your electricity bills, it also scores high in environmental-friendliness.
