Apple LaserWriter IINT, 2 megs, low copy count, looks and prints like new, $299. Original MSRP $3,999 GENERAL INFORMATION The LaserWriter II NT is an Adobe-based PostScript printer designed to be adequate for the needs of most Apple Macintosh users. The LaserWriter II NT was popular in the expanding business market for Macintosh computers. The letters NT may be short for New Technology or an abbreviation of NeTwork connectable � the NT has an AppleTalk interface. The lack of an IBM-compatible Centronics parallel interface and HP emulation made the II NT less popular in the PC market, but it can be connected to a PC via the serial port and used as a PostScript printer or as a Diablo 630. The exteriors of the Apple family printers are very different from those of other Canon SX-based printers and reflect Apple's emphasis on industrial design. Inside the covers, however, the mechanism is standard Canon LBP-SX. All electro-mechanical parts are interchangeable with those of any of the many other LBP-SX based models. Power supplies are also the same. FONT INFORMATION Resident fonts are the same Adobe-licensed 35 typefaces that were first introduced with this printer's predecessor, the LaserWriter Plus. This group of fonts has since become known as the Adobe "Plus" set. No additional resident fonts can be added. Additional fonts can be downloaded, and performance is reasonable as long as only a few soft fonts are used at a time. Macs allow an unlimited number of downloadable fonts in a document by paging them through VM (Virtual Memory). If many non-resident soft fonts are required, they will not fit in the available memory and the host Mac may have to reload the same fonts repeatedly to complete a document. The result will be slow printing. -- ======= Jim Cleary - Albuquerque, New Mexico Refurbished - Mac computers Apple LaserWriter and HP LaserJet printers "http://www.flash.net/~redchile/" ========
