ImageWriter I & II: Same Documents Print Differently (9/95)



Why do the ImageWriter I and ImageWriter II sometimes produce differing results, even though both are working from the same document?

The following are some possible reasons this could happen:

- Screen fonts print differently with different system versions. Use the
font and ImageWriter driver that best suits your needs.

- MacDraw or MacPaint documents that print perfectly on ImageWriter I may
show a horizontal white line when printed on ImageWriter II. This is
because ImageWriter II has smaller print head wires, which allow the
Imagewriter II to produce a finer text quality. The white line is caused
by the finer dots failing to overlap. This can be fixed by printing in
BEST mode.
