If you are sick and tired of the inkjet printer 'circus', get a Laser!
Come get it, it works! I will hold it for the first person by email
date and time on their reply message.
This is 'heavy iron'' in the concept of 300,000 print outs in its
lifetime, before failure, as predicted by Apple (Canon and HP!) for
these workhorses! The 'hard parts' were built for 750,000 runs...
Monochrome only. Paper tray holds 200 sheets, or envelopes.
Network connection for the AppleTalk NeTwork system, plus, serial 232
and 422 port (DB25)!
The G model had another board with network connector for 10baseT! That
is not on this system...
*Apple LaserWriter IIf and IIg controllers are available separately to
upgrade LaserWriter II SC, II NT, and II NTX.*
The 4,000 printout Toner Cartridge goes for $19 to $29, new, on the
Internet! But, this one is still great!
And, on all the Laser Printers I have used, especially these CANNON
ones, designed and built by the Canon company to the demands of Apple,
we only shake, to redistribute toner, when ever the light would come on!!!
Contains the Postscript font set... Adobe Plus, of 35 fonts! The
LaserWriter II NT is an Adobe-based PostScript printer designed to be
adequate for the needs of most Apple Macintosh users, and, drivers are
included in the Microsoft XP systems as native code, plus, it runs under
Linux and BSD!
PLUS, it can be connected as a Diablo630 printer to any PC! 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.
It is an Apple Laserwriter II nt, and, it is using a 68000
microprocessor that zooms along at 11mhz!
There is 2 Mb of RAM onboard. No provision (as built), to expand the RAM.
After Friday, if I have no response here, I will put the mainboard up on
eBay, where they are going for
$129.00! Printer sold for $3,999, when NEW!!!
