Hardware Description

In September 1990, Fujitsu completed the F6700E, a printer which realized multi-media printing functions (diagram printing and image printing) and a bar code printing function. High-speed processing of diagram/image data could previously only be achieved by models with a speed less than 2,000 lines per minute due to limitations on processing speed of the control unit. But the F6700E was the first high-speed model capable of printing diagrams and images. This was achieved by improving processing speed by employing a RISC microprocessor.
