The Brother MFC-9700's features are straightforward.
BROTHER MFC 9700 MANUAL MAC OS
Once you locate your particular operating system on the quick-setup guide (Windows 95 through XP and Mac OS 8.5 through 10.1), the installation CD prompts you the rest of the way. Software installation, on the other hand, is a breeze.
BROTHER MFC 9700 MANUAL INSTALL
You're now ready to scan or print from digital camera media or install the PC software and work from your desktop.

Once this is done, release the scanner lock, fill the main paper cassette tray, and plug the unit into a power source. On some laser printers, installing the drum unit and the toner cartridge can be tricky with the MFC-9700, you simply open the main front panel and slide the drum assembly straight into the printer. The printed quick-setup guide lets you set up the MFC-9700 to print, copy, or scan without a computer in a few minutes. Just above the base is a bypass slot for hand-feeding envelopes, legal-size paper, or heavy media directly into the printer. The printer's main paper tray lies at the base of the unit. Given the low cost of inkjet multifunction printers these days, smart shoppers should consider their options, including the HP OfficeJet 6110. While it is convenient to have all of these functions in one device, the scanning and faxing are weaker than we'd expect for the price. The Brother MFC-9700 is a no-frills, laser-based multifunction that prints, copies, scans, and faxes.
