MINOLTA-QMS PagePro 1250W Laser Printer Named PC World Magazine's Best Buy

Low-cost, desktop printer takes top spot in Small-Office Laser category

February 5, 2003 - Mobile, AL – "What can you say about a printer that costs so little, prints so well, and runs just a hair shy of the fastest SOHO laser we've tested? We say that's a great deal…" That's exactly what the editors at PC World magazine had to say about the MINOLTA-QMS PagePro 1250W laser printer. In the February 2003 issue, the publication found the PagePro™ 1250W's affordable $199 price, quick speed, and clean text were top notch, rating it their number one Small-Office Laser and their Best Buy.
Tested alongside offerings from Brother®, Lexmark®, and HP®, the PagePro scored an overall rating of 91, with the next closest printer rating a 75. In a synopsis of the PagePro 1250W, PC World commended the printer on its "excellent speed at an inexpensive price" and noted that it is a great fit in the single-PC environment.
The PagePro 1250W is a 17 page-per-minute laser printer designed for small office / home office environments. Optimized for Windows® users, it is perfectly equipped to handle daily office tasks with USB and parallel interfaces, a 150-sheet standard input tray, and 1200 x 1200 dpi print resolution.
Also making PC World's Top 10 chart, the PagePro 1250E ($299 est. Street) placed fourth in the Small-Office Laser category. Like the PagePro 1250W, the 1250E offers 17 ppm speed, 1200 x 1200 dpi print quality, and has both USB and parallel interfaces. It's a perfect fit for small and mixed office environments, offering PostScript® Level 2, PCL® 6, and PCL 5e emulations for complete compatibility.
