MultiWriter 6050

NEC announced two network-enabled laser printers that attained very high print speeds with the use of multiple print controllers. The MultiWriter 6050 could be expanded up to four controllers and had a maximum A4 print speed of 62 pages per minute. The MultiWriter 4050 had a maximum print speed of 40 pages per minute when driven by two controllers. Not only did the printers print quickly, they reduced running costs so much that instead of printing one copy of a document and making duplicates on a copier, it was possible to output all copies at their original quality from the printer. The printers also offered many post-processing features, such as collating and, with the optional finisher, large-volume paper receiving and stapling.
