GCC INTRODUCES NEW WRITEMOVE II THE ONLY PORTABLE PRINTER DESIGNED ESPECIALLY FOR THE MACINTOSH POWERBOOK Waltham, MA., September 21, 1992 - GCC today introduced the WriteMove II, the only portable printer designed especially for the Macintosh PowerBook. Weighing just 2.5 pounds and measuring only 11.7" x 3.5" x 2.0", this portable QuickDraw printer fits easily into a PowerBook carrying case or briefcase. And with 360 x 360 dpi (dots-per-inch) resolution, the battery-powered WriteMove II produces laser-quality output in virtually any environment. GCC has equipped the WriteMove II with Adobe Type 1 versions of Times, Courier, Helvetica, Helvetica Narrow, Symbol, and Palatino for a total of 21 fonts. Features such as Adobe Type Manager (ATM), support for TrueType, and 360 x 360 dpi resolution, were also incorporated to provide laser-quality output on plain paper, overhead transparencies, and envelopes. "Until now, professionals who travel with a PowerBook were lacking a portable printer that could meet all their needs. With its small size, light weight, and laser-quality resolution, the WriteMove II is the ideal solution for PowerBook owners," stated Jonathan Hurd, Vice President of Marketing for GCC. "Combined, the WriteMove II and the PowerBook comprise a complete portable computing solution." The WriteMove II features several printing options including: a "Preview" option, which saves valuable time, paper, and ink by producing an on-screen document to preview before printing; "Background Printing", which improves productivity by enabling users to continue to work as a document prints; a "Print Later" option, which allows documents to be batched for printing at a later time; and a "Single/Multi-Strike Ribbon" option, which prints economical drafts with the multi-strike ribbon, or produces laser-quality output with the single-strike ribbon. Uniquely designed to complement the color and appearance of the PowerBook, the WriteMove II comes fully equipped, so it can be used right out of the box. Its battery automatically recharges when the unit is plugged in, which ensures that the WriteMove II is always ready to print at a moment's notice. The WriteMove II is also ideal for making last-minute changes to presentations, printing confidential faxes in a hotel room, or any time high-quality output is needed on the road. The WriteMove II retails for $599, and may be purchased from any of GCC's hundreds of authorized dealers in the U.S. and Canada, as well as directly from GCC by calling 800-422-7777. Every WriteMove II carries a one-year limited warranty on all parts and services, and may be serviced through authorized GCC dealers, as well as through GCC's Product Service Center. An Extended Care Option is also available for the WriteMove II. Customer Service and Technical Support hours are weekdays from 9AM - 8 PM (EST), and Saturdays from 10 AM - 4 PM (EST).
