Summary: NEC LC-890 out in two weeks


NEC will be release the LC-890 printer in a few weeks. The
printer supports both the Postscript page descript language
and the Hewlett Packard PCL command set (Laserjet+).

The 300dpi printer will have 3Mbytes of RAM and operate at a rated
8ppm. The printer uses an LED array for imaging and an
electrostatic process (similar to most all other laser
printers) for affixing the toner to a page.

The printer sports both a serial and parallel port as
well as the Appletalk port. The price is around $4700 list.
I hope to have a demo-unit in-house in two weeks and
will summarize first impression to the net. If you are
looking for a new postscript printer for light loads
check out this new LED based printer. It also has a LCD
display panel for checking printer status (three lights
on the Laserwriter just don't cut the mustard!)
