ONE GREAT WARRANTY Finally, there's one full family of printers that covers every business or word processing application- all fromC. Itoh. a company known for packing more product into less price: and all distributed exclusively by Leading Edge, a company known for searching out and providing that very thing. Which means that one call to one source can get you any printer, any time you need it. for any purpose. All backed by a full years' warranty from Leading Edge. ITrythat on any other line of printers.l THE PRO'S. The Prowrirers: business printers—and more. The "more" is a dot-matrix process with more dots. It gives you denser, correspondence quality copy (as opposed to business quality copy, which looks like a bad job of spray-painting). Prow riter: 120 cps. 80 columns dot matrix compressable to 136.10" carriage. Parallel or serial interface. Prowriter 2: Same as Prowriter, except 15" carriage allows full 136 columns in normal print mode. Parallel or serial interface. PROMOTER 2 THE STAR. The Starwriter F-10. In short lor more precisely, in a sleek 6" high. 30-pound unit), it gives you more of just about everything—except bulk and noise—than any other printer in its price range. It's a 40 cps letter-quality daisy-wheel with a bunch of built-in functions to simplify and speed up word processing. It plugs into almost any micro on the market, serial or parallel.
