Professional Series of dot-matrix printers. The machines can
print 300 cps in draft mode and 76 cps in near-letter-quality

recognition font, and one draft font.
 
In addition, the FR printers offer all the other features of
the XB24 models, including the optional color kit.

Hewlett-Packard Series II-compatible device offering twinbin
facilities. The two standard input hoppers can each accommodate

Eight fonts are built in, and you can access additional fonts
via plug-in cartridges; you can combine up to 64 fonts on one
page and print in portrait and landscape orientations.

comes with 1 megabyte of memory, expandable to 4 megabytes. In
addition to Hewlett-Packard emulation, the printer includes
emulations for IBM, Epson, and Diablo printers. The LaserPrinter
8 II T also comes with both RS-232C serial and Centronics
parallel interfaces.
