The interface cable connector is located to the right side, as seen from the front of the upper cover, so that it
does not obstruct the paper feed path.

The separator directs the printed paper to the cut-sheet stand. The separator of the LA36W has bail rollers.

The control panel consists of an LSI, 7 switches, 16 LEDs, and a buzzer. The switches control operations
such as forms loading and feeding, font selection, and conditions selected in setup mode. The LEDs display
