LA500 & LA700Plus
Serial Matrix Printer

 Rugged, wide-carriage forms printing for Compaq® environments.
Serving Heavy-Duty Needs
With speeds up to 500 cps (LA500) and 700 cps (LA700Plus), these workhorses offer best-in-class forms printing capabilities, including multiple paper paths with automatic path recognition, gap control, and rugged construction.

Either printer is ideal for printing multipart or continuous forms in business, commercial, or industrial applications.		  
Versatile Paper Management
 
The addition of a second front push tractor allows two sets of different forms to be loaded simultaneously, making the printer accessible to multiple users from several applications without having to reload paper. And zero-inch tear-off reduces paper waste and decreases paper cost.
 
This dual fanfold capability with standard and optional push tractors allows one LA500 or LA700Plus printer to perform the tasks of two printers. Heavier forms can be handled with the addition of an optional pull tractor.
You Can Count On Them
 
High reliability means low cost for service and support, as well as increased productivity. The LA500 print head (400 million-character life) and the LA700Plus print head (700 million-character life) offer increased life expectancy over competitive printers—substantially reducing the cost of ownership.
 
A sturdy design targeted to medium to heavy workloads supports the production needs of small- to medium-sized businesses looking for an economical and reliable printer.

Software Compatibility
 
Both printers give you plug-and-play compatibility with all common software packages, including Windows® 95/98. Four user-defined settings (macros) let you automate your own personalized printing routines, which saves time spent with control panel activities.
 
They offer an externally accessible plugable I/O slot for optional connectivity, such as 10/100 Ethernet.
