Emulation Restrictions of IBM Mode:
The IBM Mode emulation of this printer has a few restrictions, described
below, because of hardware differences. If you make programs for the printer
in IBM Mode, pay special attention to these restrictions.
The reverse feed code ESC ] is not supported. The styles of block graphics
characters at 12 cpi are different. With the Auto Sheet Feeder (26-2884)
attached, the printer might skip the last two lines on a page.This only
becomes a problem when you direct the output of some DOS command to the
printer (e.g. "dir > prn"), and the text on the page exceeds the number of
printable lines (64).
