[comp.sys.mac.system] Imagewriter Bi-directional Printing

amos@walt.cc.utexas.edu (Walter M. Amos) (08/06/90)

Recently an article was posted giving instructions on how to turn on
bi-directional printing (under best mode) with an imagewriter (II). I
thought this was hold down opt-shift-cmd when pressing OK, but all I
get is a beep. I am using IW 2.7 and system 6.0.4.

Did I get something wrong or is it just this system?

I had trouble getting this to work on the 2.7 version of the Imagewriter
(which System 6.0.4 has); it didn't want to print both ways in Faster mode.
Going back to the previous driver (2.6) worked fine though.

Maybe a bit of both.
