The September 26, 1983 issue of Computerworld has an ad on page 43 for the
above device, claiming 300dots/inch at 28pages/minute, for $11,995
quantity one.  The company is General Optronics of Edison, N. J.,
(201)-549-9000.  I called them and they claimed to be using their own
marking engine, with a dry toner, plain paper process.  It sounded as
though their firmware was currently comparable to the Xerox 2700 and DEC
LN01: no graphics yet, and limited font capacity, with future enhancements
under development.  They claimed to have a national maintenance force in
place servicing their current fiber optic telecommunications products, and
will be offering a ~$195/month maintenance contract on the printer.

Does anybody know any more about this company or this product?  The price
certainly sounds right.  -Robert
