Printing in Color on ImageWriter II
__________________________________________________________________
Apple Works can print in color on the ImageWriter II. To enable 
color printing, configure a custom printer, and select printer 
codes that you do not expect to use, e.g. 4 character per inch, 
superscript start and stop, etc. Define those codes with the 
escape ..... for the color you wish to implement. For the correct 
codes, refer to Appendices F and G in the ImageWriter II Owner's 
Manual and the ImageWriter Quick Reference Card in the rear of 
same.

 

A typical set up is as follows:

Code         Effect

CTRL-N       4 CPI

CTRL-O       10 CPI

Escape K 2      5 CPI used for Red

Escape K        6 CPI used for Blue

Escape !        Boldface begin

Escape "        Boldface end

Escape y        Sub begin

Escape z        Sub end

Escape x        Super begin

Escape z        Super end

 With this set up, printing a portion of text in red requires the 
following steps:

 1. Move the cursor to the beginning of the desired text.

 2. Select printer options.

3. Choose 5 CPI.

 4. When you want to return to black printing, select printer 
options and choose 10 CPI.

To set the printed text to blue, select printer options and choose 
6 CPI.

 

Don't forget to select printer options and choose 10 CPI to return 
printing to black.

Use these steps to produce color printing of one word or a couple 
of words. To make a whole paragraph color, the only command that 
seems to work consistently is underline. If you configure the 
underline command as a color, you'll get the whole paragraph in 
that color. If you configure the superscript-subscript command as 
a color, you'll only get the first line in color; all subsequent 
lines will be black. Margins will be wrong if you set up things 
like 4 CPI for color.
