Imagewriters are serial printers which can be used with any RS-232 serial
device. No special software is needed.
If a program always sends its output to a parallel printer, you must
issue the appropriate DOS MODE commands to:
1. Configure the serial port to match the Imagewriter's DIP-switch
settings.
2. Redirect the printer output from a parallel port to the serial port.
INMAC (phone (408) 737-7777 or other U.S. branch) sells a cable to connect
an Imagewriter II (with the 8-pin mini-DIN connector) to IBM PC's (or
compatibles). Catalog #745-4, $27.00
This cable comes with a male DB-25 connector on the IBM end,
so a gender changer or a 25-pin to 9-pin adapter cable may also be needed
depending on the type of connector on the serial port.
