Apple LaserWriter Pro 600
With the Apple LaserWriter Pro 600, laser printing in Macintosh and
Windows computing environments never looked better in terms of work
group value and performance. Its impressive print quality and paper-
handling capabilities help you produce consistent, superior results—page
after page. And the LaserWriter Pro 600’s new, compact design packs
many features into a small size.
Whether you work with Macintosh, MS-DOS or Windows computers, the
LaserWriter Pro 600 provides the plug-and-play simplicity you need for
greater productivity. It comes with built-in LocalTalk for easy connection
to an AppleTalk network system, as well as parallel and serial ports for
connection to DOS and Windows computers. All ports stay active so you can
send documents to any port without having to change a single setting.
The LaserWriter Pro 600 comes with two paper trays and options that
include a 500-sheet paper cassette and a 75-envelope feeder. That brings
total paper capacity to 850 sheets.
At 300 dots-per-inch (dpi) resolution, Apple’s FinePrint technology takes
the curves or jagged edges out of your text to give you crisp, clean output.
You can also choose from the 64 TrueType fonts in the Apple Font Library.
In addition, the LaserWriter Pro 600 includes the latest version of Adobe
PostScript Level 2 software.
To enhance graphic images and text, try Apple’s PhotoGrade technology.
With the PhotoGrade Upgrade Kit, you can print images with more than 91
levels of gray—the equivalent of 1,000 dpi—or print at 600 dpi to get high-
quality text.
