The 10 page a minute printer holds 250 sheets for input and 100 sheets for output. It was suppose to have 2 resident fonts, with additional fonts available, and of course downloadable fonts. It has a collation option so the pages are stacked properly, and a copier option. The memory is 128Kbytes, and is expandable. It does bitmap graphics with a resolution of 150 x 150 for a 1/2 page and 75 x 75 for a full page. The 24 page a minute printer has 3 trays for 2000 pages of input, and 500 pages of output. It has a 10 Mbyte winchester for spooling and fonts and a 5 1/4" floopy for loading, forms, etc. It is the same engine as the 2700 - so the quality should be similiar to the QMS 2400. It will be able to use 11 by 17 inch paper and have all points addressable bit map graphics. Both models have "line drawing" abilities, but from what I can figure out that means only horizontal and vertical lines, not arbitarily positioned vectors. Interfaces include IBM (bisynch and SNA), centronics dataproducts, RS232 and ethernet (I am not sure the exact particulars on mixing and matching).
