Since you're using slot2, I assume you're using the SSC for communications:

Make sure the jumper block (the one with the triangle painted on it)
is inserted in its socket pointing to "modem".  Set switches SW1-5 and
-6 to "on".  (Now you're in communications mode.)

Set 7 data bits by switching SW2-2 "off".  Set one stop bit by
switching SW-2-1 to "off".  Set parity to even by setting SW2-3 to "off"
and SW2-4 to "off".

ctrl-I commands are intended for printer mode (they work for me
just fine).  What you probably want are communications mode commands
which use ctrl-A:

	^A1D	sets 7 data bits, one stop bit.

	^A3P	sets even parity

the ^A (ctrl-A) command string should be followed by a RETURN
character.  (If you want to send a ^A to the modem and out, just
send ^A^A with no RETURN.) 

I used to write manuals in the Apple // division, and one of my
last projects was a rewrite of the Apple IIe Technical Reference
Manual.  I moved much of the SSC manual information into the //e
Reference manual (because I hate to have fifteen different books
spread out on my desk when I wanted to work on the machine.)

I think you can get the book now from any bookstore that carries
computer books, I believe that Addison-Wesley publishes it.  It
might save you some time in the future, as well as frustration.
