Manuals
(All manuals in PDF format and OCRed unless noted otherwise)

Using a special "1-dimensional", magnetically deflected CRT, it exposes dry silver paper (3M type 777, shelf life 6 months only). The image is developed by heating the paper.

Print time is 18 seconds except for high-res copies from 19" terminals, for which it can be doubled.
