Apple Macintosh LC - Manual (Page 88)

ImageWriter or other printer that is connected directly to your Macintosh
(not using network cables), you follow the steps above, except that you don't
select the name of a printer. Instead, you select the type of printer and
then specify which of the computer's two sockets, called ports, the printer
will use. The Chooser displays a dialog box in which you select the icon for
the port to which your ImageWriter is connected. Choose the icon that's the
same as the one above the port to which your ImageWriter is connected.

Selecting Page Setup options
The Page Setup command gives you a dialog box where you can choose from a
number of paper sizes and printing enhancements.
1. Open the document you want to print.
2. Choose Page Setup from the File menu.
The Page Setup command is available in the File menu whether you are working
on the desktop or in a program.
The Page Setup dialog box appears, with the preset choices (or those selected
most recently for the document) displayed. The next illustration shows the
Page Setup dialog box for the LaserWriter; the following one shows the Page
Setup dialog box for the ImageWriter.
3. Click on buttons or boxes to select the paper size and printing
enhancements you want, then click OK.
If you click the Options button in the LaserWriter Page Setup dialog box, you
see a dialog box that gives you choices for additional enhancements,
including
- a flipped image (mirrored vertically or horizontally)
- an inverted image (with black and white reversed)
- alignment of bitmapped areas (providing greater image resolution but
reducing the image by 4 percent)
- a larger print area (allowing more of the page to be printed but using more
printer memory and thus limiting the number of downloadable fonts that can be
used)
- capacity for unlimited downloadable fonts (downloadable fonts are typefaces
stored separately from the printer and transmitted to it at the time of
printing)
In addition to the standard ImageWriter options, the ImageWriter LQ include
a #10 envelope paper size, and it can print images reduced to 66 percent or
33 percent of original size.
You will see different options for each type of printer you use. Some
programs provide additional options in their version of Page Setup.
Selections made in the Page Setup dialog box remain in effect for the
document until you change them.
