The Personal LaserWriter LS is a 300-dpi laser printer that relies on the Mac to do the page processing. It has 512 Kbytes of RAM, and uses data-compression technology to let it operate as if it had up to 2.5 Mbytes of RAM. (Increasing the actual memory won't enhance the speed of the printer.) The printer uses a serial link to the Mac, and is not AppleTalk network-compatible. The 50-sheet paper tray handles envelopes, labels, transparencies, and letter- and legal-size paper. A 250-sheet letter-size paper cassette is available as a $199 option. The printer comes bundled with 13 TrueType fonts, and an INIT that allows users to display and print TrueType fonts with System 6.0.7. John -- John A.
