Dear Mr. Information
Our account representatives are very busy people—often spending as much as half of their time traveling to consult with various clients around the world.Obviously, they make heavy use of their laptop computers when traveling, often tapping into our company database to prepare a proposal for a client.Some of our representatives have requested that we provide them with a portable printer so that they can prepare hard copies immediately for their clients.Therefore,Iwould like some information on your portable printers, specifically the HB-340.First,I’d like to know if this is a laser printer.Our reps would also need a battery-operated model because they print ourlegal-size forms while traveling.
