6400 Line Matrix Printers Setup Guide, Cabinet and Pedestal Models
• IBM 6400 vs. 4234 IPDS Comparisons — Differences:
The 6400 will report Loaded Font command set (LF2) in the Sense
Type and Model (STM), but will not support Load Symbol Set
(LSS).
The 6400 will support Page Continuation Actions (PCA) without
highlighting.
The 6400 cannot detect Human Readable Information (HRI) outside
of the Bar Code Presentation space under all circumstances.
• The Multi–Platform Interface Coax/Twinax feature of this printer is
subject to the following limitations:
You must select either coax or twinax attachment: only one can be
active at one time. You can also use the Centronics Parallel interface
for simultaneous attachment of a LAN or PC.
Coax and twinax error detection and recovery is limited to those
errors associated with the Centronics Parallel interface.
NOTE: For information on differences between this printer’s data stream
emulations and other printer data streams, such as the IBM
Proprinter III XL, please refer to the 6400 ASCII Programmer’s
Reference Manual.
