Here's my latest problem... I'd like to be able to print using the ImageWriter's
built-in 10 characters per inch near letter quality font, but it's not working.

Here's what I've done:  As the manual decreed, I set dip switch SW1-6 to the 
up/open position, which allows the IW to print in 10 cpi rather than the default
12 cpi.  I put the printer in NLQ mode by hitting the Select button, then twice 
the Print Quality button, and again the Select button.  Then I tried printing
a file from both Microsoft Word and MacWrite with Draft mode selected from
their ImageWriter dialog boxes.

What I got was nice, crisp, _ 12 _ characters per inch near letter quality
text in the IW native font!  I wanted 10 cpi!!  Is there a way to get it?


Vital signs: System 4.2/Finder 6.0/IW 2.6/Word 3.02/MacWrite 4.6,
Mac SE HD20, ImageWriter II w/ ROM revision 5.
