The imagewriter accepts the same control commands as the C. Itoh printer
that it was originally sold as.  It is a stock RS-232 DTR device, doing
DTR handshaking using pin 20, in its Mac configuration, although it can be
jumpered to uses ^S, ^Q handshaking.  Appple has even published a
tech-note giving the pinouts for connecting it to an IBM PC, and the
information is repeated in the manual that comes with the ImageWriter.
The IBM expects to see handshaking on pins 5,6,and 8, so jumper them
together in the IBM side of the cable.
