TallyGenicom LGe06 User manual

Low cost-per-page, high-quality, high-volume text
and graphics printing for a clean, quiet office or a
noisy shop floor in DEC/Compaq®environments.
Fast, Quality Printing
The LG series produce print speeds in draft mode of up to 600 lpm in model LG06, 1200 lpm in
model LG12, 1500 lpm in model LG15, and 1800 lpm in model LG18.
Superior Paper Handling Performance
The LG06, LGL12 and LGe12 are the first and only line printers to offer Auto-Gap which
simplifies operator set-up and printer use by setting the optimum print gap based on the form
thickness. Other models in the LG Series offer an easy to use manual print gap setting. All LG
Series printers handle single to six-part continuous forms with ease.
SmartRibbon Technology
The patented SmartRibbon, available on the LG12, LG15 and LG18 models, ensures a uniformly
high contrast over the ribbon's life – the last form looks as good as the first. This long-life
ribbon cartridge significantly reduces user intervention and increases productivity.
Complies With Industry Standards For Open Systems
For true open systems printing with workstations, mainframes and PC applications, the LG
series supports a variety of printing languages and protocols including DEC ANSI, IBM®
Proprinter®and Epson®, as well as VGL and PGL. Equipped with a high-performance
RS-232/RS-422 serial port and an IEEE 1284 parallel interface, the LG series printers work in
Windows®, OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX®environments. Additionally, the mission-critical
applications of the LG series printers can be distributed over a Local Area Network (LAN).
Models For Virtually Any Environment
The enclosed cabinet model LG printers are well-suited for longer, unattended print runs in
areas where equipment operation must be as unobtrusive as possible. The lower-cost
pedestal models are perfect for shorter batch jobs in which quick and easy access to printer
output is needed. Forms can be loaded from the front and the printer is well-suited for shop-
floor printing operations where noise is not an issue.
