PETALING JAYA, November 23, 2011 - Brother International Malaysia, a leader in home and business IT peripherals that focuses on a ‘Customer-First’ approach, launched the MFC-9970CDW, an all-in-one colour laser printer tailored for dynamic daily business activities and robust business environments.

Brother’s popular business-class MFC-9000 series is a hit with businesses worldwide, being a top choice of small and medium enterprise (SME) right up to workgroups at large corporations as the series is simple to manage, scales readily to support larger user groups and provides exceptional value in terms of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) as well as reduced power consumption for a greener printing solution.According to Mr. Yoshiaki Otsuka, Managing Director of Brother International (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, the MFC-9970CDW is a combination of speed, precision and efficiency – the essential tools for an aggressive working environment.

“This machine is packed with features for fast-paced businesses, both big and small as the powerful all-in-one machine not only performs beyond expectation, it improves productivity and reduces costs while being energy efficient,” said Mr. Otsuka.


The MFC-9970CDW, with its ability to print, fax, scan and copy, boosts efficiency at work as there is less time wasted waiting for printouts. Be it colour or monochrome, printing speed is at 28 pages per minute. It is also cleverly designed to scale up with the needs of growing businesses with an optional 500-sheet lower tray on top of the standard 250-sheet paper tray. Waiting time for copying is also eliminated as the 50-sheet Automatic Document Feeder makes multiple-page copying, scanning and faxing a breeze.

“We see a growing trend among SMEs of buying new colour laser printers as the total cost of ownership of colour laser printers is decreasing year by year. Based on this trend, the current economic environment, enquiries from local business partners and businesses we believe that there will be excellent take-up of the MFC-9970CDW,” Mr. Otsuka explained.

Ms Lily Siow, Marketing Manager of Brother International Malaysia, elaborated that Brother understands the need for businesses to keep running costs as low as possible. Equipped with wired and wireless network capabilities the MFC-9970CDW can be shared by multiple users across the office network, reducing the total number of machines required in the organization and saving valuable office space.

“The MFC-9970CDW is able to fax documents online helping businesses reduce their phone bills significantly and cutting down the usage of paper. At the same time the MFC-9970CDW also allows sending and receiving of traditional hard copy faxes,” Ms Siow added.
