Personal LaserWriter NTR

The Personal LaserWriter NTR was a monochrome laser printer from the LaserWriter series that was released by Apple Computer for the home office market in March 1992.

Description
The NTR could print at a resolution of 300-dpi from a Canon LBP-LX print engine that could output 4 pages-per-minute with a rated life of 150,000 pages. It is compatible with HP LaserJet IIP toner cartridges.

The 16 MHz AMD processor could rasterize images from PostScript or  4+ printer data. The data could be transmitted through a LocalTalk network to its serial port, or a direct serial PC connection to its  port or. The smaller enclosure weighed about 13 pounds less than preceding LaserWriter II models with lower power consumption and cost in exchange for a shorter life expectancy.
