Personal LaserWriter NT
 
Copyright 1990, Apple Computer, Inc.
 
The Apple LaserWriter NT printer features a compact, space-saving design and
offers affordable high-quality laser printing. It has an integral paper
cassette as well as a multipurpose tray that can handle different printing
materials and paper sizes automatically.
 
The Personal LaserWriter NT features:
 
	300 dot-per-inch resolution which produces near-typeset quality text,
graphics and scanned images.
 
	Motorola 68000 processor which supports printing of up to 4 pages per
minute.
 
	Canon LBP-LX laser xerographic print engine which offers durability 
and nearly maintenance-free performance. It provides a minimum performance 
life of 150,000 pages (equivalent to printing 100 pages/day, 5 days/week, 
52 weeks/year for 5 years).
 
	PostScript support which offers virtually unlimited versatility in 
creating and manipulating text and graphics. You can print documents from 
nearly all Macintosh applications, some Apple IIgs programs, MS-DOS and OS/2 
applications, and, using additional software, AT&T UNIX programs.
 
	AppleTalk Network System Interface which offers cost-effective  
printing by allowing access by multiple users. This interface also allows 
printing from Macintosh, Apple IIgs, MS-DOS or OS/2 computers (using the 
LocalTalk PC card).
 
	HP LaserJet Plus and Diablo emulations which allow anyone whose 
computer supports an RS-232-C interface to print documents similar to the 
way they print documents on HP LaserJet Plus and Diablo 630 printer,
 
	37 built-in fonts let you print documents in virtually any type size 
and a wide range of styles.

variety of mediums such as overhead transparency film, photocopy bond, etc.
 
	Integral paper cassette provides automatic feeding of up to 250 
sheets of paper.
 
	Multipurpose tray simplifies printing on different paper sizes, 
envelopes, or labels.
 
	Optional envelope cassette lets you print up to 15 envelopes automatically.
 
	Background printing (with MultiFinder) lets you continue to work on 
your Macintosh computer while you print.
