Printing Conventions in This Manual
Switches, indicators, and switch positions labeled on the printer are printed
uppercase. Example: Press the ON LINE switch.
Messages that appear on the control panel display are printed in initial capital
letters and set off with quotation marks (except for conjunctions, which are
all lowercase). Example: “Save Config” appears on the message display.
The LG06 / LG12 Text and Graphics Printers
LG06 and LG12 line matrix printers use variable–speed shuttles, micro–step
paper feed control, and multi–phase hammer firing. These printers generate a
wide range of horizontal and vertical dot densities with no speed penalties.
The LG06 and LG12 printers use the same operating and emulation
firmware. The printers differ mainly in size, the number of hammers on the
hammer bank, and speed of printing. The LG12 is larger and faster than the
LG06. The LG12 has 88 print hammers, the LG06 has 49 hammers. The
electromechanical drive elements of the hammer banks also differ, but are
transparent to the user. Both printers are fast and quiet, designed for years of
trouble–free operation.
