LA36N & LA36W
Serial Matrix Printer


Fast, high-quality flexible printing optimized for your Compaq® environment.
Matching Your Needs.

In single- or multi-user environments, the narrow-carriage LA36N and wide-carriage LA36W are ideal for use in a broad range of industries, from banking, data processing, and pharmaceuticals to healthcare, education, and government.
 
This workhorse prints at speeds of up to 360 characters per second in draft mode and 133 characters per second in letter quality mode.

 
Getting Your Job Done In Time.
 
Versatile paper handling features allow for either rear or bottom paper feed, as well as push or pull tractor feed. This printer provides a straight paper path, multi-copy capabilities, high throughput, and automated paper detection (top of form, edge detection, and form identification) to ensure trouble-free operation.
Excellent Print Quality.
 
The 24-wire print head produces clear, crisp output of texts and graphics. There’s support for DEC® ANSI, IBM® Proprinter® X24e, and Epson® ESC/P2 emulations. The seven resident typefaces and eight resident bar code fonts ensure fast, high-quality text, and dependable bar code printing.

Flexibility.
 
In multi-user environments, users can choose either of two configurations, which are readily accessible through the control panel or application programs. To reduce the risk of accidental job interruption, the printer’s control panel can be locked out under program control.
 
The LA36N and LA36W printers feature plug-and-play Windows® 95/98 capability and offer the added benefit of a user-installed print head.
