The tone of this advert was not that different to the big government advertising campaigns of the era, whether they be warnings about AIDS, drink driving, not locking up your house or buying shares in a once government owned utility.
When viewed in that context it is not that out of the ordinary, and it was probably put together by the same fear-mongering creatives that worked on the government campaigns.
I was wondering what the Mapple Office product was, wondering if it meant Word was out on a Mac, but no, they meant the fileserver plus printer. Wasn't it Canon that actually made the printer?

Both had unique control hardware / software, and somewhat different cases. Quite a lot of printers seem to share the same Canon guts: http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/reference/pcr/engine/1311 http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/reference/pcr/engine/1311
