NCR Corp, which claims to have developed and pioneered the Small Computer Systems Interface, has implemented it on a laser printer and says that it enables the printer to run at 15 pages per minute: it says that SCSI is designed to operate up to seven times faster than a standard parallel port and 100 times faster than RS 232 serial port, and that the new NCR 6436-0301 SCSI Laser Printer is designed for graphics-intensive applications: it says that data transfer over the SCSI connection is so fast that the $8,000 printer runs a 1Mb bit-mapped graphics file at 300 dots per inch up to seven times faster than the conventional parallel interface; the 6436-0301 is designed for shared-resource printing environments and has the ability to accept input from dual host systems – the other being parallel.
