Your GENICOM Matrix Printer LA36 can operate either in a DIGITAL environment or a PC
environment. The printer is factory set to function in a DIGITAL environment, through a
serial interface. Its dual interface allows you to connect it to both environments at the same

serial).
Note:
If you intend to use a single type of communication, set the printer to this
specific type using the Set-Up mode in order to optimize the printer operation.
