User`s manual
Now hit the Return key five limes. Your printer should be
printing the prompt character ']" each time you strike the
Return key. If not, double check each of your installation
procedures and glance over the “Installation Double-Checks”
at the end of this section.
Macintosh Installation Tests
1. Insert any Macintosh program into an active drive
and turn on power.
2. Go to the CHOOSER under the menu and select
the Imagewriter. If the lmageWriter is not present in
the CHOOSER, you must load the lmageWriter
Driver into your System folder. Consult your
Macintosh manual for details.
3. Select PRINT CATALOG’ OR ‘PRINT DIREC-
TORY’ under the file menu.
NOTE: A few printers do not support reverse line feeds,
which is required for total lmageWriter emula-
tion. If the images printing are clear, but not
properly aligned, tty printing from another
application before assuming a Grappler prob-
lem.
4. Load any Macintosh application and open a docu-
ment. Be sure that lmageWriter has been selected
in the CHOOSER under the g menu.
5. For best results when printing test, you need to
have fonts loaded into your system that are twice
the size as those you are working with on the
screen. For example, if you are working on a
document in 12 point Times font on the screen, you
need to have 24 point Times loaded into the the
system for your printer to use. In many applications,
loaded fonts appear outined under the font pull-
down menu (eg., 36 Point) and non-loaded fonts
are not outlined (eg., 36 Point) Consult your
Macintosh manual for information about the Font/
DA mover.
Installation Double-Checks
If you are experiencing trouble in getting any response
from your printer, check the following common problems:

9 Pin and printer?
2. Is the Grappler 9 Pin transformer plugged into the
wall and the interface?
3. Is the Grappler 9 Pin connected to the Apple?
4. Is the printer on?
5. Is the printer “on line”, or ready to receive informa-
tion from the computer?
