•
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
