Personal LaserWriter 300
Copyright 1993, Apple Computer, Inc.
Now you can have the quality and convenience of true LaserWriter printing for
the price of an ink-jet printer. Designed for personal and home office use, the
Apple Personal LaserWriter 300 printer delivers the sharp, clear output you
need at a price you can afford.
Featuring a compact, lightweight, all-in-one design, the Personal LaserWriter
300 fits easily on any desktop. It comes with 39 TrueType scalable fonts for
high-quality text in a wide range of styles and sizes. To simplify printing
while maximizing flexibility, it uses a standard cassette tray that can hold
paper of different sizes and a manual feed tray for printing on other media.
You can print on envelopes, labels, transparencies, and letterhead or plain
paper.
The Personal LaserWriter 300 features GrayShare driver software, an innovative
new technology that gives you the ability to share your printer with others
across a network. With GrayShare, you can make your Personal LaserWriter 300
accessible to other users who are con-nected to an AppleTalk network. You
always have complete control over the use of your printer; you can turn the
sharing feature on or off at any time. GrayShare also delivers easy-to-use
image scaling and enhanced grayscale printing capabilities for sharp graphics.
The Personal LaserWriter 300 is equipped with an automatic on/off feature that
conserves energy by keeping the printer in a standby state when not in use.
When a document is ready to be printed, the Personal LaserWriter 300
automatically powers up.
Everything you need to use the Personal LaserWriter 300 comes in the box.
There’s no need to purchase any interface cards or driver software. Just
connect it to your Macintosh, and you’re ready to get started.
