The Sharp CE-700P printer was designed specifically for the PC-7000 and clips onto the back of the main unit.\
|
|
It was a thermal printer capable of very high quality output. A thermal transfer ribbon could also be used.

In other words, how to pop your office into a shoulder bag and then go out and about.\

You see the Sharp PC7000 is no ordinary computer. Not only it is light, compact body packed with a much speed and power as most desk top computers, it's also very, very versatile...

Sharp always had a reputation for building technically sound but rather stange computers, ignoring 'industry standards'. The PC-7000 broke this image.
|
|
|
|
This was a "lunchbox" portable IBM PC compatible system. It had two 5''1/4 disk-drives mounted on the right side and a nice blue tiltable screen, the world's first backlit LCD.
|
|
|
|
The system consisted of three main parts: system unit, keyboard and optional CE-700P printer. When the system had to be carried, both the keyboard and the printer clipped into the main unit.
|
|
|
|
One year later (1986) , the **PC-7100** was launched. It had a 20Mb hard-disk instead of the second built-in 5''1/4 FDD.
