A few days ago, I saw a post where the author (I forget who) said
that the Xerox 9700 laser printer used a class 3 (Powerfull!)
laser, and the cost of development of this laser drove the price
up and delayed its introduction.
I had my doubts at the time,but as I was not sure, I didn't post
anything. I just came home from a meeting of my local (ham) radio
club. One of the members is a Xerox service tech, so I posed the question
to him. His response was a laugh. The laser in the 9700 is a class 1.
He has replaced and aligned many of them. He has been with Xerox for
some time, and has never heard of any such delays in the 9700 development cycle.
