Hardware Description

NEC announced two printer models, the PC-PR101/TN103A and PC-PR101/T165A, in October 1993. Despite having 400 dpi resolution and coming standard with outline fonts, the printers sold for less than 100,000 yen. The PC-PR101/TN103A was a small, lightweight notebook-sized printer capable of battery operation that offered high quality printing despite being priced under 100,000 yen. The PC-PR101/T165A, also priced under 100,000 yen, was a high-speed printer that could print Japanese text at 165 characters per second.
