[[Image:Robotron.jpg|thumb|Robotron K6313]]The Robotron 6313 K6313 printer was a 9-needle pin dot matrix printer manufactured by the [[VEB Robotron ]] (East Germany).
What made it special and worth mentioning in the CPC-Wikipedia is the fact that it could be DIP-switched to be 100% compatible with the [[Amstrad]]/[[Schneider ]] [[NLQ401]], that means it could print the whole CPC character set and understood the code sequence to switch the 8th bit.
