I own the Immagewriter //, and am to lazy to reach over to press the buttons
to put the silly thing in correspondance quality, what I did to get around 
this problem was to define a second printer (AppleWorks lets you define up
to 3) with the interface card setting changed to the control code for high
quality and the CTRL-I80N for the interface card setting. Appleworks does
not seem to care what is in the interface card setting, it just prints it 
out.  If the card does not process it the printer will.

For your Okidata try either CONTROL-I80NESC1 or CONTROL-I80N(CR)ESC1
where (CR) is a carrage return. then select this second printer when you
print your document, and it shoud print in high quality. your interface 
card will see the CONTROL-I80N and process it, and pass the ESC1 to the 
printer, which should shitch to high quality mode.

the only problem that you might run into is AppleWorks version 1.0 and 1.1
do not have a facility for setting the printer interface card control
characters.  if you have 1.0 or 1.1 you will need to get one of these:
 		version 1.2 was free from the dealer, try them and see
		version 1.3 was $20 but no longer available
		version 2.0 is currently $50 you must get a mailer to
 		send to Apple to get this update.

what the differences are:
	1.0 and 1.1 had many problems with printers besides Apple's and
	Epson's

	1.2 fixed these printer problems.

	1.3 suported the Apple // memory expansion card

	2.0 suports the Apple // memory expansion card, and the //GS
	memory expansion cards, and it increases the data base from 1300
	some odd records to 6000 some odd and the word processor form 2250
	some odd lines to 7000 some odd lines.  it has some very nice mail
	merdge capibilities.  they also added a round function to the 
   	spread sheet.  you will have to see a dealer to get the update mailer.
