An Apple ImageWriter II in original box, tested - in working
order. Softly yellowed due to its age. A B/W ribbon
is inside the Printer, and produces still characters (selftest) - see the photos.
No Driver Disk, xou can download
the ImageWriter drivers here, if you don´t
have them on a System 7.0 Disk. Comes with serial printer- and power supply cable. You can buy a suitable cable to connect
your Apple IIe to this Image Writer II here.
The mini circular-8 connector and cable, available
as a separate item, connects the ImageWriter II
to Apple CPUs. The Apple II, II Plus, and IIe
require a Super Serial Card or Grappler+ to connect with an
ImageWriter II. Here you can get original Image Writer II colour ribbons.
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 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.

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 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.
