Kaypro Letter Quality Printer
A JUKI 6100 daisy wheel printer re-badged for Kaypro.
Kaypro Page Printer I
Kaypro Corporation, the nation's fifth largest microcomputer manufacturer, will unveil its new non-impact printer, KAYPRO PAGE PRINTER I, at CONDEX/Fall in Las Vegas, Nevada, November 10-14.
The KAYPRO PAGE PRINTER I, which uses NEC LED-based technology rather than the conventional laser engine, has the print quality of the laser types, yet requires less repair and maintenance.
The printer has a rating of eight pages per minute, 5000 copies per month, and an average life of 300,000 copies between overhauls.
An 80186 microprocessor drives a standard 128 kilobytes of RAM permitting immediate "plug-n-play." With a Diablo 630 emulation mode, spacing available at 10, 12, and 17 characters per inch, as well as proportional spacing, the KAYPRO PAGE PRINTER I delivers letter perfect documents.
Priced at $2995, the KAYPRO PAGE PRINTER I has 300 by 300 DPI, a standard 250-sheet input hopper and a 250-sheet output stacker. It can easily handle letter size, legal size, A4 and B5 paper sizes as well as most standard envelopes. A manual insertion slot is available for single feeds of alternate paper types.
THE KAYPRO PAGE PRINTER I has a two-line by 16-character LCD display, which shows machine status, current font in use, possible system errors, and notification of maintenance or service needs.
