Personal LaserWriter NT

The Personal LaserWriter NT was a monochrome laser printer from the LaserWriter series that was released by Apple Computer for the home office market in July 1990.

Description
The NT 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 12 MHz Motorola 68000 processor could rasterize images from PostScript,, or printer data. The data could be transmitted through a LocalTalk network to its serial port, or a direct serial PC connection to its  port. 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.
