The main difference between the LA36N and the LA36W is the “print span”.
The LA36N is an 80-column printer and the LA36W a 136-column printer. As shown in the
following figure, the physical specifications are thus different (size, weight, ...).

Some minor differences concern mechanical internal parts that do not impact the general uses
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.
Specification differences are clearly identified further in this User Guide.
