Oki Electric Industry Co has announced a new model in its well-received MicroLine 801PS line of PostScript printers: the MicroLine 801PS Plus provides five more standard Japanese fonts and supports output of screen fonts used in the KanjiTalk 6.0 and higher Japanese Macintosh operating system; the MicroLine uses light-emitting diode technology as opposed to Canon Inc’s laser printer engine, with significant price differences which has made the MicroLine a popular printer for PostScript-supported comptuers such as Macintosh, the AX series of AT-alikes, NEC Corp’s 9801 series and Sun Microsystems Inc workstations; Oki has sold 10,000 of the printers so far.
