[comp.sys.atari.st] really fast laser printers

Peck@RADC-MULTICS.ARPA (Rodney) (03/23/87)

  At rensselaer polytechnic institute, they have a Xerox 8700
laserprinter which is now the default printer for the multi-processor
IBM machine that is the main computer on campus.
  This printer I believe does at LEAST 30 ppm (printed on both sides).
Thats 30 pieces of paper printed front and back coming out of the
machine in a minute.  this is a BIG laser printer though.  It's not
going to fit in your office next to your ST...sorry.
  (I could be wrong about the speed, but if I remember correctly, it
throws at least 1 page every 2 seconds out.  probably 2 pages every 2
seconds...)
  (apple laserwriters were depressingly slow as far as I was concerned,
'cause this Xerox was the first laser printer I ever saw.)
