v For P-Series emulation, differences in supported fonts and control codes may
exist between the IBM 6500–v 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 6500–v ASCII
Programmer’s Reference Manual.
v For P-Series XQ Variant, the IBM 6500–v 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.
v Emulation differences may exist between the IBM 6500–v with Epson FX 1050
emulation and the Printronix MVP 150B, which used the Epson MX emulation.
v Application differences may exist between the IBM 6500–v and the Printronix
MVP-150C printers due to additional print quality modes which the 6500–v does
not support.
v Printronix printers with an “L” in the model design indicate the printer has the
capability to print smaller dots. The IBM 6500–v 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.
v DAVFU, DVFU, NVFU, and CVFU Vertical Format Units, along with the
optional uses of the Serial Data Bit 8, are not supported.
v Printronix P6XX0 models using older C1 controllers, which are primarily
installed in Europe, are not supported.
v The following printers, which are similar to Printronix printers, are not
supported by the IBM 6500–v printer: KPG Panda, TRILAx (Trilog Inc.), and
Gentry REVerse Paper Feed.
v The IBM 6500–v does not support compatibility with the Printronix P1013 or the
P4160.
v IBM printers with the following interfaces are not supported: S/370
