down position.
If your MS-DOS application program is set to use the XON/XOFF handshake, place switches 5
and 6 in the up position. If the program is set to use the ETX/ACK handshake, place switch 5 in
the down position and switch 6 in the up position.
You can also change the handshake, along with other printing parameters, on the LaserWriter
IIntx by sending a PostScript program from your MS-DOS computer to the printer. In addition,
you can send a PostScript program to check the handshake and other settings.

When you finish
If the LaserWriter II is part of an AppleTalk network system, you may wish to reactivate the
printer's AppleTalk software so that computers on that network can use the printer to print
documents. To do so, set switches 1 and 2 in the up position.

PostScript documents
If you're using an MS-DOS application program that produces PostScript files, install the
PostScript printer driver. The printer driver translates your print files into PostScript, the
page-description language that the LaserWriter II understands.
The installation process varies with the application program. See the manual that came with
your application program for instructions.

Diablo emulation
The Diablo 630 emulation mode uses the 25-pin connector. In this mode, the LaserWriter II
prints text only, entirely in 12-point Courier.
The LaserWriter II also prints bold characters, when identified by the proper Diablo 630
command sequence (Esc-O), in boldface Courier. Although there is no way for a laser printer to
darken a character by double-striking, some MS-DOS applications reinterpret the double-
striking command, causing the LaserWriter II to darken characters by widening each stroke.
To set your LaserWriter IInt for Diablo 630 emulation, place switch 1 in the down position and
switch 2 in the up position. If you're using the DSR/DTR handshake, be sure to reset the
handshake using the PostScript program specifically designed for changing the parameters for
use with LaserWriter IInt Diablo 630 emulation.
To set your LaserWriter IIntx for Diablo 630 emulation, place switches 2 and 3 in the down
position and switch 4 in the up position.
Install the Diablo 630 printer driver on your MS-DOS computer, following the instructions in
the manual that came with your application program. You can then print documents as if the
LaserWriter II were a Diablo 630 printer.
The LaserWriter II interprets the Control-D key combination as an end of file command. If you
can, insert the Control-D character at the end of your file. When the printer receives the
Control-D character, it immediately prints the last page in your document.
