Overview
This manual is for maintenance engineers, and covers overall maintenance of the Digital LA30N and LA30W
Companion Printers, together with detailed information such as troubleshooting and component replacement.
The information in this manual applies both to the Digital LA30N Companion Printer (80-column printer) and to
the Digital LA30W Companion Printer (136-column printer). However, illustrations are of LA30N Companion
Printer unless otherwise stated.
Recommended references are:
• LA30N/LA30W Companion Printer Illustrated Parts Breakdown (Order Number: ER-LA30N-IP-002)
• LA30N/LA30W Companion Printer User Guide (Order Number: EK-LA30E-UG-001)
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 LA30N and the LA30W is the “print span”. The LA30N is an 80-column
printer and the LA30W 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.
