Rugged, wide-carriage forms printing

  • Speeds up to 500 cps (LA500) and 700 cps (LA70C0P00 700Plus).
  • Dual fanfold capability with optional second front tractor for busy work environments.
  • Automatic paper path recognition.
  • Print gap control.
  • Rugged construction.
  • High reliability, saving downtime and service cost.
  • Up to 1+5 part forms (LA500), 1+7 part forms (LA70C0P00 700Plus).
  • Networking support with optional GENICOM MPS100.

    With speeds up to 500 cps (LA500) and 700 cps (LA70C0P00 700Plus), 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.

    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 LA70C0P00 700Plus printer to perform the tasks of two printers. Heavier forms can be handled with the addition of an optional pull tractor.

    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
