Apple ImageWriter II - Manual (Page 40)

When you have configured your serial card, see “Installing and Connecting the Serial Interface Card” in
Chapter 3.
Configuring the Apple Serial Communications Card
Configuring the communications card takes two steps: setting the jumper block and setting a DIP switch
on the ImageWriter II. You may want to consult your Communicatons Interface Card Installation and
Operating Manual for help.
Make sure that the triangle-shaped mark on the jumper block points to TERMINAL. If it does not, gently
unplug the block from the card, rotate it accordingly, and plug it back into the card.
Because the communications card transmits data at 300 baud, you must reset two DIP switches in the
ImageWriter II. Switches SW2-1 and SW2-2 should both be in the Open position. See Appendix A for
details.
Configuring Other Serial Cards
Here is a list of ImageWriter II settings. Check your serial card manual for the appropriate switch settings.
Baud rate: 9600
Data format: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, 1 start bit
Parity: None
Line feed after carriage return: O
Interrupts: Off
Delays: None
Operation mode: TERMINAL (not MODEM)
Baud Rate
If you have a card that cannot transmit data at 9600 baud, you must reset a switch in the printer itself to
change the printer’s baud rate. See Appendix A for details.
Apple II Serial Card Notes
If you have an Apple II Serial Card, note that the ImageWriter II requires no delays set for
Carriage returns
Line feeds
Form feeds
Note: For the Apple II Serial Card, Open is Off, Closed is On.
If your Apple II Serial Card has a ROM labeled P8A, you can send data at 9600 baud. However, if you have
a P8 ROM, you must send data at 300 baud. Do not connect a modem eliminator cable to the Apple II
Serial Card.
Appendix F: Configuring AppleWorks for Half-Height Subscripts and Superscripts
AppleWorks versions through 1.2 print full-height subscripts and superscripts. However, the ImageWriter
II can print these text elements half-height. This appendix shows you how to create an AppleWorks
printer driver that takes advantage of these half-height characters. Note that by configuring a custom
printer to take advantage of half-height characters, you are giving up other capabilities, such as
