MFG Overview:The Apple ImageWriter II was a Dot matrix printer released in September 1985. It utilized a C.Itoh mechanism and was somewhat faster than the original ImageWriter.
It was particularly well known for being extremely sturdy – ImageWriter
II's were still in common use for forms printing a decade after they
were produced.
With an optional networking card installed, the ImageWriter II was a low cost alternative to the vastly more expensive LaserWriter. It could also produce basic colour images using a colour ribbon, a feature that was supported by the original version of QuickDraw,
which, although it was running on a monochrome hardware platform,
actually supported output for eight colors. The ImageWriter II also
offered an NLQ (near-letter-quality) ASCII mode, a feature for
improved text quality on the Apple II platform or for improved draft
printing quality on the Macintosh platform.
The ImageWriter II was offered as two models with different carriage
widths: the narrow carriage version for 8.5-inch-wide tractor-fed
paper, and the wide carriage version for wider paper. When the wide
carriage was introduced in late 1985 (or early 1986), the only Apple
software that supported it was MacProject.
Although a very few third-party applications also supported it, most
applications could print only as if there were 8.5-inch paper in the
printer. Early Imagewriter II's are a creamy off-white color known at
Apple as Fog, but after 1987 they were the standard Apple "Platinum"
color[1].
There are many known ROM revisions, visible through a self-test (press
the form feed button while turning the ImageWriter on, then release
both buttons simultaneously; the printer will then print the ROM
version as well as dipswitch settings).
The narrow carriage model also supported an optional external sheet
feeder that could feed cut sheet paper. However, the attachment was
generally unreliable.
The ImageWriter II was designed in accordance with Apple's Snow White design language. In 1986 it received the I.D. Design Review and Silver Industrial Design Excellence Awards[2], making it the first desktop printer to receive such appraisal.
Despite the introduction of the inkjet StyleWriter in 1991, the ImageWriter II kept selling. It was made until late 1996,
making it the longest running Apple product in history. They are still
useful for printing banners and like all impact printers, for
multi-part forms.
