Overview
This manual is for maintenance engineers, and covers overall maintenance of the Matrix Printers LA36N and
LA36W, together with detailed information such as troubleshooting and component replacement.
The information in this manual applies both to the Matrix Printer LA36N (80-column printer) and to the Matrix
Printer LA36W (136-column printer). However, illustrations are of Matrix Printer LA36N unless otherwise
stated.
Recommended references are:
• GENICOM Matrix Printer LA36 Illustrated Parts Breakdown
• GENICOM Matrix Printer LA36 User Guide ( CD-ROM )
The former contains information on location and order number of all parts needed for printer maintenance. The
latter contains general information on printer operation.
The main difference between the LA36N and the LA36W is the “ print span”. The LA36N is an 80-column
printer and the LA36W a 136-column printer. As shown in the figures below, the physical specifications are
thus different (size, weight, ...). Some minor differences concern mechanical internal parts that do not impact
the general maintenance of the printer (top cover hinges, bail rollers mechanism, ...). The only visible difference
concerns the accurate location of the notch scale of the paper thickness lever.
