Digital launches second-generation Colorwriter LSR 2000+ laser printers; Colorwriter LSR 2000+ models offer leading performance and features at lower cost.MAYNARD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 11, 1996-- Broadening its coverage into the office network color market, Digital Equipment Corporation today announced its family of second-generation high-performance color laser printers, the Colorwriter LSR 1. (networking) LSR - Label Switching Router. 2. (operating system) LSR - Local Shared Resources. 2000+. The family consists of two models, a powerful but attractively priced entry-level model, and a premium priced, high-performance model, targeted to production-quality printing. The high-performance model adds a 20% performance increase over the current Colorwriter model, and includes support for Windows 95, Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. and Macintosh. Both models include an upgraded one-year on-site warranty. "Color laser printing is a growing segment of our product line," said Rob Hannemann, general manager, Printing Business Systems, "and these color laser printers offer an unbeatable value at two important price points, with the high-performance, quality of output, and advanced features for today's evolving color printing “colour separation” redirects here. For other uses, see colour-separation overlay. Color printing is the reproduction of an image or text in color (as opposed to simpler black and white or monochrome printing). requirements." The Colorwriter LSR 2000+ provides fast network printing of near-photographic quality color output. Powered by an EFI See UEFI. EFI - Extensible Firmware Interface Fiery XJe Controller, it prints up to 3 pages per minute (ppm) in color and 12 ppm in monochrome. Its eight-bit color depth Same as bit depth. , full continuous tone output of 600 dot-per-inch (dpi) resolution is comparable to high- end color laser copiers and printers, effectively filling the gap between low-end desktop color lasers and high-end color laser copiers. The Colorwriter LSR 2000+ offers processing performance up to six times faster than that of other leading desktop color lasers, with a quality of output a fraction of the cost of color not of the white race; - commonly meaning, esp. in the United States, of negro blood, pure or mixed.

Other features include: -- RIP-While-Print functionality, allowing images to be processed while other images are being printed -- Memory compression Encoding the contents of memory to take up less space. Similar to data compression, memory compression works with the live contents of memory as it executes instructions and processes data. It works at the lowest levels of the system. , eliminating unnecessary RAM costs -- Continuous print capability, assuring operation at maximum-rated speed -- Adobe PostScript Level 2, guaranteeing compatibility with the industry standard -- Connectivity for mixed platform Macintosh, PC, UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). workgroup environments through built-in Centronics Parallel and Ethernet ports -- Local languages for utilities, documentation and front panel displays -- Energy Star compliance -- One year on-site warranty The entry-level model, which comes with 16 MB of upgradeable memory, is designed for high-quality office color printing for such applications as desktop publishing, overhead transparencies, and proposals. The second model comes with 32 MB of memory and the Professional Color Kit, consisting of the LSR manager, downloader, spooler See print spooler and spooling.

This model is a high-performance solution for graphics, pre-press and digital publishing. The Colorwriter LSR 2000+ is available now through Digital- authorized resellers and distributors. The 16 MB model is list priced at $9,499. The 32 MB model is list priced at $10,699.
