the Reference Manual.

15.6 Cartridges Supported by the LA600 MultiPrinter

The LA600 MultiPrinter has a slot for an optional cartridge, and cartridges are

available to supply additional fonts and character sets. For more information,

consult your Digital Sales Representative.

Before inserting the cartridge, turn the printer power off. Then insert the

cartridge, and turn the power back on. If you insert the cartridge while

the printer is powered on, the printer may not be able to select and use the

cartridge. Select PRINT TEST 3 in setup mode to print the fonts and character

sets including the cartridge-based fonts and character sets supported by the

printer. A few lines of text in each font are also printed.
