It is my pleasure.
I would love to give this old Laserjet a home, and (as I mentioned to
you in private mail) I will be in that part of the country for a while
starting in a few days. I wonder if it will still be available.

They do not
use the same engine. They are similar (since they use the
same physical cartridge) but the way the operate is very different. The
CX laser printer engine uses a laser diode (I don't recall if it is
visible or infrared) to scan across the drum, while the PC-1 photocopier
uses an incandescent lamp to illuminate a strip across the page as it is
scanned. The wavelength and amount of radiant energy involved are
completely different.
This is something I didn't though...Thanks for shedding a light on
the subject, Dave!
