GENERAL

DESCRIPTION

The

LVOl

hard

copy

device

manufactured

Versatec,

Inc.,

Cupertino,

California,

exacting

set

DEC

specifications.

Its

speed,

compact

size,

and

quietness

operation

make

ideal

for

use

hospitals,

research

laboratories,

and

offices.

The

line

printer

has

132

columns,

ASCII

character

set,

and

prints

speed

500

lines

per

minute

(full

line).

The

plotter

speed

120

lines

per

second

maximum,

with

data

transfer

rate

500K

bytes

per

second

maximum.

Printing

accomplished

depositing

electrostatic

charge

dielectric

surface

and

blackening

the

charged

areas

with

fine

particles

deposited

from

liquid

toner.

The

paper

then

dried

directing

air

flow

over

the

paper.

The

LVOl

available

two

models.

The

115V

model,

designated

LVOl-BA,

handles

104—132

Vac

Hz.

The

240V

model,

designated

LVOl-BB,

handles

208—264

Vac

Hz.

the

LVOl

are

available.

The

designated

LV8;

the

interface

between

the

LVOl

and

PDP-12

designated

LV12;

the

interface

between
