The Quality button is for the built-in font selection only.  Mac
usually uses it own downloaded bit images for the WYSIWYG capability.
I am told that you can use the Imagewriter built-in fonts by setting
up the Mac to send in Draft mode, which apparently sends ASCII
straight to the printer.  You can then select the desired print
quality at the printer.  

BTW: The Imagewriter fonts can be also accessed by escape codes,
rather than the front panel switch.  See the Technical Reference Manual.
