Black Apple Macintosh ImageWriter II -

Here you find other Apple and Mac Collectors Items.

A black colored Apple ImageWriter II, tested - in working order. A B/W ribbon is inside the Printer, and produces still characters (test: selftest) - see the photos. You can download the ImageWriter drivers here, if you don´t have them on a System 7.0 Disk. Comes without any cables.

The ImageWriter was a main staple of printing from the Macintosh for a long time. Classic Macs need a classic printer to accompany them. With an Apple ImageWriter printer attached to your Macintosh, you can get printed copies of your work. With most computers ( in1984) what you see on the screen and what you get from the printer look very different. With Macintosh, what you see is what you get. MacWrite produced exactly this, while Microsoft Word did not (it bent the rules a bit). The ImageWriter II is a dot-matrix printer well suited for classroom, personal, and professional use. It's ideal for printing on continuous-feed paper, such as payroll checks or preprinted forms. The Apple II, II Plus, and IIe require a Super Serial Card to connect with an ImageWriter II. The ImageWriter II color printing feature requires an ImageWriter II Color Ribbon and color-compatible software (Canvas and SuperPaint for instance). When the ImageWriter was introduced it cost $545, the ImageWriter II was introduced at a cost of $595.

Although the ImageWriter II is no longer being produced, millions of them were made and are still a common sight in schools. It is not uncommon to see an iMac equipped with ethernet operating next to a classic Mac with an ImageWriter II. Some ImageWriter IIs have been in continuous service for 15 years. These machines were built to last a very long time.

Schwarzer Apple Macintosh ImageWriter II -

Hier finden Sie weitere Apple & Mac Raritäten zum Kauf.

Apple ImageWriter II (Farbdruckfähig mit Farbband), getestet durch den Selbsttest. Die Treiber sind auf der System 7.0 Disk, sie können die ImageWriter II Treiber aber auch bei hier downloaden. Der Drucker kommt ohne weitere Kabel. Das Gehäuse wurde schwaz lackiert, jeunktionstasten aufgrund der Beschriftung nicht lackiert - siehe Photos.

Der ImageWriter II war für lange Zeit die erste Wahl als Drucker für den Macintosh, und klassische Mac´s brauchen einen klassischen Drucker. Mit einem ImageWriter II am Macintosh bekommen Sie gedruckte Kopien ihrer Arbeit. Mit den meisten Druckern (von 1984) war das, was man auf dem Bildschirm sah, recht unterschiedlich zu dem was man aus dem Drucker bekam. Mit dem Macintosh bekommt man was man sieht. MacWrite erzeugt sehr genaue Drucke, Microsoft Word tut das nicht. Der ImageWriter II ist ein Tintenstrahldrucker der gut in Klassenräumen, privat oder professionell eingesetzt werden kann. Er ist ideal um mit Endlospapier (perforiert) zu drucken, wie zB Auszahlungsbelege, Rechnungen oder Listen. Um in Farbe zu drucken benötigt man ein ImageWriter II Color Ribbon und farbfähige Software, zum Beispiel: Canvas and SuperPaint. Der ImageWriter II wurde 1984 für 595 $ verkauft.
