Compatibility
307
•
For P-Series emulation, differences in supported fonts and control codes
may exist between the IBM 6400 and Printronix printers. Downloaded
character overlays and downloaded character sets are not supported.
Detailed information on supported fonts and control codes can be found
in the 6400 ASCII Programmer’s Reference Manual.
•
For P-Series XQ Variant, the IBM 6400 only prints condensed print at 15
CPI like the Printronix P600, but unlike the P300, which printed
condensed print at either 13.3 or 16.7 CPI.
•
Emulation differences may exist between the IBM 6400 with Epson FX
1050 emulation and the Printronix MVP 150B, which used the Epson MX
emulation.
•
Application differences may exist between the IBM 6400 and the
Printronix MVP-150C printers due to additional print quality modes which
the 6400 does not support.
•
Printronix printers with an “L” in the model design indicate the printer has
the capability to print smaller dots. The IBM 6400 will print text-only
applications that were printed by L-Series printers. Applications requiring
the printing of anything other than text will not be supported.
•
DAVFU, DVFU, NVFU and CVFU Vertical Format Units, along with the
optional uses of the Serial Data Bit 8, are not supported.
•
Printronix P6XX0 models using older C1 controllers, which are primarily
installed in Europe, are not supported.
•
The following printers, which are similar to Printronix printers, are not
supported by the IBM 6400 printer: KPG Panda, TRILAx (Trilog Inc.) and
Gentry REVerse Paper Feed.
•
The IBM 6400 does not support compatibility with the Printronix P1013 or
the P4160.
•
IBM printers with the following interfaces are not supported: S/370
Channel Attachment, QMS** 2780 or 3780 Bisync-to-ASCII attachment,
RS-232 as Current Loop, and Dataproducts Long Lines.
