LG Series Line Matrix Printer
Low cost-per-page, high-quality, high-volume text and graphics printing for a clean, quiet office or a noisy shop floor in DEC/Compaq® environments.
Product Highlights
 
  • Blazing fast up to 1500 lpm.
  • Virtually unlimited duty cycle.
  • Complies with industry standards for open systems printing.
  • High-quality text and graphics.
  • Handles paper and multipart forms with ease.
  • Flexible connectivity and interfacing.
  • Enclosed cabinet models for quiet operation in office environments.
  • Pedestal models for fast, easy access and operation in harsh, shop-floor environments.
Fast, Quality Printing.
The LG series produce print speeds in draft mode of up to 600 lpm in model LG06, 1200 lpm in model LG12, 1500 lpm in model LG15, and 1800 lpm in model LG18..
Superior Paper Handling Performance.
 
The LG06, LGL12 and LGe12 are the first and only line printers to offer Auto-Gap which simplifies operator set-up and printer use by setting the optimum print gap based on the form thickness. Other models in the LG Series offer an easy to use manual print gap setting. All LG Series printers handle single to six-part continuous forms with ease.
SmartRibbon Technology.
 
The patented SmartRibbon, available on the LG12, LG15 and LG18 models, ensures a uniformly high contrast over the ribbon's life – the last form looks as good as the first. This long-life ribbon cartridge significantly reduces user intervention and increases productivity.
Complies With Industry Standards For Open Systems.
 
For true open systems printing with workstations, mainframes and PC applications, the LG series supports a variety of printing languages and protocols including DEC ANSI, IBM® Proprinter® and Epson®, as well as VGL and PGL. Equipped with a high-performance RS-232/RS-422 serial port and an IEEE 1284 parallel interface, the LG series printers work in Windows®, OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX® environments. Additionally, the mission-critical applications of the LG series printers can be distributed over a Local Area Network (LAN).

Models For Virtually Any Environment.
 
The enclosed cabinet model LG printers are well-suited for longer, unattended print runs in areas where equipment operation must be as unobtrusive as possible. The lower-cost pedestal models are perfect for shorter batch jobs in which quick and easy access to printer
output is needed. Forms can be loaded from the front and the printer is well-suited for shopfloor printing operations where noise is not an issue.
