Known quirks
- First PostScript printer — single-handedly made desktop publishing possible
- Canon CX engine also used in HP LaserJet — parts cross-compatible
- Its $6995 price point kept it in service offices long past its prime
- 13 resident PostScript fonts; anything else had to download per job
