Re: ImageWriter modes

[Dale Hill]

There should be an absolute difference in printing with just one 
light. It is draft mode and you wouldn't turn that in to your teacher 
if your grade depended on it. Putting both colors should make it much 
slower and go over each letter twice. I've probably got a half dozen 
or more in my garage, and at least one in my junked-up Mac bedroom 
and then one that could fall on my head, just above me. By far, the 
Imagewriter is the cheapest way to go. I wouldn't, though, pay, much 
more than a dollar for a new ribbon even in a non-opened plastic 
wrap. About 4 out of 5 of them won't print. Imagewriter II ribbon 
manufactures were pulling down the BIG BUCKS in their hayday.

I have been using the ImageWriter II as a printer for years and have always
wondered about the following:
The control window offers three modes: Best, Faster, and Draft. On the
printer itself there are two print quality selections, determined by one or
two LED's...two for Best and one for Faster.
In practice, I have found no difference in how the machine works, no matter
how the LED's are configured. In other words, it makes two passes with the
control screen radio buttons Best and one pass for Faster.
Can any of you Old Timers comment on these seemingly redundant controls?
