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.
Printing your work
Printing while using an application program is probably the most common
method, but the Macintosh also lets you print one or more documents while
working on the desktop.
Whether you initiate printing from within an application or while working on
the desktop (both methods are explained here), you use the Print dialog box
to specify printing options. Here is a typical Print dialog box for the
LaserWriter.
The ImageWriter printer models offer some different options for printing.
These include
- print quality -- a choice of Best, Faster, or Draft mode, which affects
printing speed as well as quality
- bidirectional printing (ImageWriter LQ only) -- an option in which the
printing element prints continuously as it moves back and forth across the
paper, making for fast output
- cut sheet feeder use (ImageWriter LQ only)
Some programs offer additional printing options, such as printing from first
