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 up to 500 cps the LA550N and LA550 keep pace with

the bustling, demanding world where printing is time sensitive and cri-

tical. Engineered for printing under adverse conditions, these devices

produce multi-part invoices, shipping documents or bar code labels at

a rate of up to 26,000 pages per month.

The printer handles up to 5-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 LA550N/LA550W 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 5-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.
