Printronix P600, HP 2564C, Epson FX-1180, IBM Proprinter III XL, MTPL.

Additional emulations provided with the Twinax/Coax interface:

IBM 4234 (Twinax and Coax), IBM 4210 and IBM 5225 (Twinax only).

Optional emulation for Twinax, Coax, and LAN interfaces:

IBM 6400 / 4234 IPDS.

Characters Per Inch

Seven basic Characters Per Inch (CPI) settings are available through the Control

Panel. They include 10, 12, 13.33, 15, 16.67, 17.14, and 20. These character

matrices can be doubled to produce 5, 6, 6.67, 7.5, 8.33, and 8.57 CPI. In some

emulations the availability of certain CPIs is restricted. Some emulations provide

proportional spacing and justification features.

Lines Per Inch

Ten Lines Per Inch (LPI) settings are available through the Control Panel.  They

include 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 12 LPI.  In some emulations the availability

of certain LPIs is restricted. Some emulations provide variable line spacing.

Type Styles

There are six resident type styles available on your printer.  They include Draft,

Data Processing (DP), Gothic, Courier, OCR-A, and OCR-B.  All type styles and the

two output modes (for Draft and DP) are selectable through the printer control

panel.

Draft and Data Processing

Draft and Data Processing type styles print in two modes:  Constant Density Fonts

(CDF) and Enhanced.

Constant Density Fonts print at the same dot density regardless of the CPI.  This

produces consistent print speed even when changing from one CPI to another.

Enhanced Mode provides higher resolution and a greater range of CPIs than CDF

Mode.  Because Enhanced Mode uses a variety of dot densities you should expect

a change in print speed of text when switching from one CPI to another.
