The LaserWriter IISC was a laser printer manufactured and sold by Apple. The printer formed the low end of the new LaserWriter II series, based on the Canon Inc. LBP-SX engine also used in the HP LaserJet II. Costs were cut by forgoing the PostScript interpreter for QuickDraw, and the network connection for a single-PC connection via SCSI, hence "SC." This allowed a slower microprocessor and less memory to be used, and eliminated the network interface. Also, ease of use improved as the Macintosh and the printer ran the same graphics engine, resulting in fewer potential incompatibilities. The Personal LaserWriter SC was similar in these regards to the later Personal LaserWriter line.
