Chris,

The 6670 (announced in 1979, I think) is based on an early version of
the series III copier, slowed down to half speed (35 ppm).  The copier
had significant problems in its early models but was redone successfully
a few years ago.  The 6670 has more initial success because of its
reduced speed and some changes made for this printer.  The 240 spi and
simple font set and word processor interface may not do justice to the
marking engine.

Since its introduction, there have been several fine products of similar
net throughput come onto the market.
