DIGITAL ANNOUNCES A WIDE CARRIAGE PC PRINTER WITH COLOR CAPABILITY

NEW YORK, NY -- June 28, 1994 -- Digital Equipment Corporation today
announced a low-priced, wide-carriage dot matrix forms printer with color
capability, priced at $479. The new DECwriter 195 24-wire wide-carriage PC
printer includes a Windows 3.1 printer driver, full documentation and a
two-year warranty. This PC printer autosenses between its resident Epson
LQ-1170 and IBM Proprinter XL24e emulations, prints 360 X 360 dpi
resolution at up to 300 cps, includes two resident scalable and eight
additional fonts, and at 49.5 dBA has a noise level as quiet as a laser or
inkjet printer to facilitate use in department, small business and home
office environments. The announcement was made at the PC EXPO Conference,
which opened here today at the Jacob Javits Convention Center.

The DECwriter 195 PC printer handles either fanfold or cutsheet paper,
labels, envelopes, and up to 4-part carbonless forms. Its user-installable
$79 optional color kit enables it to print in seven colors on all of these
media.

Digital's DECwriter 195 printer directly connects to PC systems and prints
windows-based applications that contain graphics, color and scalable
fonts," said Larry Cabrinety, Vice President of Digital's Components and
Peripherals Business Unit.

With its simple-to-use LCD control panel with color display keyed to
color-coded documentation, the DECwriter 195 PC printer enables the user
to easily configure, store and recall the most commonly-needed user
setups.

The DECwriter 195 PC printer is priced in single quantities at $479; there
is a 5% discount on pallet shipments of 12 units, resulting in a $445.50
price per printer. Deliveries begin in July. Options include a color kit

sheet feeder, $249.
