To print Apple IIe files, use the programs’ print commands just as you
would if you were using an Apple IIe. When you print through the Printer
Card, you should set your Apple IIe program to treat the printer as if it’s
an ImageWriter II, even if it’s not. You may notice a pause before printing
begins. If the program has a command that you can use to stop the
printer from printing, it may not stop printing the instant you issue the
command.

Important: Macintosh screen saver programs may interfere with
Apple IIe programs while they are printing. If the screen saver causes a
problem, turn off the screen saver or increase the amount of time before
it turns on. Also, you should avoid opening the Option Panel when
printing.

To select the printer you want to use, or to change printers, use the
Macintosh desk accessory called the Chooser.

Before you begin: Your Macintosh should be on. If you’re a

floppy

disk startup person you should start up from the IIe Startup Disk,
as explained in “Starting Up From the

IIe Startup Disk” in Chapter 3.

1. If you’re in the Apple IIe environment, open the Option Panel

by pressing Control-

x-Esc.

If you’re in the Macintosh environment, you need to do nothing.
