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