Controls/Buttons/Dials (6.00)
 All of the printer’s buttons are located on the front except for one button on the top. The top button simply opens the rear paper tray that is used only when fine art paper is loaded into the front. There are three buttons on the front. From the top to bottom, they are Power, Resume/Cancel, and Front Feed. The buttons are large, but the icons aren’t as intuitive as those on a digital camera so beginners will have to get a quick briefing from the user manual—which they should do before operating the printer anyway. The few buttons fit with the slick design of this printer. Most functions are activated through attached computers.
Menus (0)
The Pro9000 has no on-unit menu. Many pro photo printers don’t include this feature, which is more common on all-in-one and compact photo printers. The HP 8750 features a 2-line display, much like laser printers.
Size / Footprint (3.16)
This printer is not something that can be thrown in a backpack and hauled on a whim. It weighs 30.8 pounds and is about the size of a flattened microwave oven. The Canon Pro9000 measures 26 inches wide, 7.6 inches high, and 14 inches deep. There are two rear wheels that allow the user to lift the front and reposition the printer on a desktop. This is a very helpful feature if the printer is normally tucked against the wall and needs to be moved forward to access the rear output tray.
