Apple LaserWriter IINT, 2 megs, low copy count, looks and prints like
new, $299. 
Model Number               LaserWriter II NT
Introduction Date          January 1988
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 thePC 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.
