Apple IIe Card - Manual (Page 34)

Printing From Apple IIe Programs
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. !!
Choosing a printer
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-Command-Esc.
If you're in the Macintosh environment, you need to do nothing.
2. Select the Chooser from the Apple menu.
3. Click the icon that represents the kind of printer you want to use.
Your printer isn't there? If the kind of printer you want to use isn't in
the Chooser, you need to install the printer software on your startup disk.
Turn now to Appendix E, "Installing Printer Software for the IIe Startup
Disk."
4. If the printer is connected over a network, you'll have to select the
printer you want and perhaps also the zone it's in.
See the reference book that came with your Macintosh for more information on
using the Chooser.
5. Choose Close from the File menu.
6. If you're in the Option Panel, click the Continue button.
Note: In most cases, you should print using the Printer Card. However, some
Apple IIe programs may require you to print using the AppleShare card. If so,
you can select which printer you want using the Apple IIe program Chooser.II.
(If you don't use Chooser.II, the Apple IIe prints to the printer selected in
the Macintosh Chooser, so long as the printer is either a network ImageWriter
or a network LaserWriter.)
Using Apple IIe Files with Macintosh Programs
Sometimes you may wish to transfer information from Apple IIe programs to
Macintosh programs. You can do so, provided you can find a file format that
