Compatibility and Limitations
The following are some compatibility and limitation considerations you should
be familiar with before attaching this printer with your system.

Compatibility

•
The Proprinter III XL emulation is very similar to the datastream used by
the IBM 4202-003 Proprinter but contains more features. This protocol
enables this line matrix printer to closely emulate a moving-head serial
matrix printer but does not support downloaded fonts. In addition, NLQ
compresses to 17.1 CPI, not 20 CPI.
•
The Epson-LQ emulation does not support downloaded characters or
print justification. In addition, near letter quality (NLQ) compresses to 17.1
CPI not 20 CPI.
