This chapter explains the maintenance levels 1, 2, and 3 for cleaning, lubrication, inspection, and adjustment of
the LA36N and LA36W printers.
4.1 4.1 4.1 4.1 4.1 Overview Overview Overview Overview Overview
Designed using the latest technology, the LA36N/LA36W printer offers high reliability and easy maintenance.
Parts requiring lubrication and adjustment have been reduced and the replacement of defective parts made easier
than in previous models.
Difference between LA36N and LA36W is as follows:
• LA36N is an 80-column printer and LA36W a 136-column printer. Therefore, many mechanism components
differ only in size (length).
• Bail rollers of LA36N are mounted on the printer mechanism as the bail roller unit. Bail rollers of LA36W
are built in the top cover.
• Other components are the same.
The printer has useful maintenance functions that can be initiated by the control panel without the host compu-
ter. This greatly reduces maintenance time for testing and adjusting the printer.
The printer also has the self-test print and hex dump functions to indicate whether an error is due to the printer
or the host and to test operation after error recovery.
