Speed is up to eight pages per minute. Minimum life expectancy is five years or 450,000 pages and the recommended service interval is 200,000 pages. The supply range is 90-110.5 V or 103.5-126.5 V AC at 58-62 Hz (US and Japan) or 194-264 V AC at 48-52 Hz (Europe and Australia); consumption is about 95 W on standby and up to 560 W at 100-115 V or 530 W at 220-240 V. The printer weighs 39 lb.^[2] The LaserWriter Pro 600/630 Service Source names the engine as a Canon LBP-B270 and gives 8 MB for the Pro 600, noting that some early-1993 units shipped with 4 MB.

The communication settings table lists the port settings, baud rate, flow control and mode for each position of the rear push-button switch.
