On-printer Controls (5.5)
There are only a handful of controls on the Pro 9000 itself; most of the controls are in the driver software that runs on the computer. But the few buttons on the front of the printer are well placed and are easy to find. From the top, we have controls for power, to resume or feed in paper and to activate the flat paper path. Right below this is the PictBridge USB port.

| The controls on the front of the Pro 9000 |
On-Printer Display (0.0)
There is no display on the printer itself, apart from two lights by the control buttons that blink.
On-Printer Menus (0.0)
Because there is no display, there is also no menus on the printer itself. All of the hot menu action happens in the device driver software.
Media Slots (0.0)
There are no media slots on the Pro 9000, but there is a solitary USB PictBridge port on the front that allows for direct printing from a compatiable digital camera or other device. And most cameras and camcorders are compatiable with this widely used standard.
Wireless (0.0)
The Pro 9000 does not come with any wireless networking capabilities out of the box, but Canon does sell a $100 adapter (the Silex wireless print adapter) that can turn any of their printers into a wireless network device.
Network (0.0)
There are no ethernet ports on the Pro 9000; the aforementioned Silex wireless adapter is the only way to connect this printer to a network.
