User guide Introduction

Introduction

Printer features Your printer is a high speed and rugged design for easy use and heavy

duty operation. It is designed for service-free PC, network and mini sy-

stem operations.

At top speeds of 1100 and 900 cps the LA800 and LA650 keep pace

with the bustling, demanding world where printing is time sensitive and

critical. Engineered for printing under adverse conditions, these de-

vices produce multi-part invoices, shipping documents or bar code la-

bels at a rate of 40,000 to 50,000 pages per month.

The printer handles up to 7-part forms with no skewing or jamming; it

automatically adjusts for different forms thickness. The straight paper

path is easy to access, for reliable forms handling.

The LA800/LA650 optionally is configured with an optional tractor

(front). A straight paper path on the front tractors results in jam-free

operation and flawless 24-wire impressions on up to 7-part forms.Both

models offer fully automated gap adjustment, paper parking, loading,

etc.

With extensive connectivity alternatives and popular emulations, the

printer is ideal for a variety of industrial or business applications.

Symbols used Important information is highlighted in this manual by two symbols.
