That it could do.. Hard for me to think of it as big and heavy
though, I only tend to remember the 250 pound wide carriage 1200 DPI
laser in the attic that has to come back down some day.. So bulky it's
hard to figure out the right way to pick it up so it doesn't pull you
off balance, basically a giant printer with it's own built in cart that
doesn't have the cart. Got it up there somehow though, anything I can
pick up now without a serious fight with gravity seems small after
having that experience. Think I paid $5 just to pay something for it,
wish I'd paid $10 for it not.. Drum probably still has some value
though if it's not destroyed from the attic, had a $900 retail price and
was why I picked it up. Still not much call for used, so wouldn't get
much for it..
