In October 1992, NEC started selling three new personal word processor models. The new models were loaded with numerous printing functions, making it easy and affordable to create business cards with portraits, pictures for coloring, and other printed materials. The new high-end models were intended to bolster NEC’s word processor lineup. The mini 5SH offered color printing, the mini 5SV had faster printing speeds, and the mini 5Sj came in a notebook size.

Two other models — the mini 7SV laptop word processor for full-fledged business applications and the mini 7SR with a CRT monitor — were rolled out at the same time.

The mini 5SH, mini 5SV, and mini 5Sj had the following features.
  • (1)The three models came with 18 printing functions, including 11 Bungo Omoshiro Insatsu fun printing styles, iron-on transfer printing, and reply-postcard printing.
  • (2)The word processors included an auto layout function that adjusted the address font to fit the postcard, and a convenient address print function that would automatically print business titles or the sender’s phone number.
  • (3)Three Japanese typefaces — Heisei Mincho, Heisei Kaku Gothic, and Mouhitsu — and nine Western typefaces were built in and all were outline fonts using 3D Bezier curves.
The mini 7SV and mini 7SR had the following features.
  • (1)The word processors came with a number of business application programs, including a powerful spreadsheet program that could calculate percentages and standard deviations, a “personal card” card-based database for efficient management of personal or work information, and drawing software for creating illustrations, figures, and maps.
  • (2)The preinstalled Art Pro software made it possible to freely arrange text and change its shape. For example, characters could be aligned on a curve or characters could be reshaped to fit inside a trapezoid.
  • (3)Nine printing functions, such as pictures for coloring, business cards, and blank maps, were included.
