Xerox did indeed announce two printers on May 1, together with 
a lot of other Xerox Network Systems equipment.  The 10 page per 
minute model is called the 4045 Laser CP while the 24 page per 
minute model is called the 3700.  Your message about them was 
quite accurate, but there were a couple of points about the 4045 CP
where I would like to avoid some possible confusion.  The base 
model does have the 2 resident fonts you mentioned.  You can also 
add up to 4 additional font cartriges each of which contains up to 9 
additional fonts (depending on size) and these fonts together with 
the base fonts can then all be accessed at the same time.  Together 
with the downloadable fonts this means that a single document can 
use up to 128 fonts. (2 standard fonts, 36 fonts from the font cart-
ridges, and up to 90 downloaded fonts).  As you know, bitmap images 
take quite a bit of memory to store, so the bitmap image or graphic 
imaging capability is a function of the memory size installed.  
With the optional 1 Megabyte memory the 4045 CP can handle a 
5"x7" image at 300x300 spots per square inch or some combination
of smaller graphics whose area is the same.  It can also handle a
full page bitmap at 150x150 spots per square inch.  By the way,
the life expectancy of the 4045 CP is approximately 600,000 prints,
or 10,000 prints per month for 5 years.
