The StyleWriter II was a monochrome inkjet printer from the StyleWriter series that was released by Apple Computer in January 1993, replacing the original StyleWriter.[1]
Description[]
Apple StyleWriter II inkJet printer
The StyleWriter II featured a maximum resolution of 360-dpi and could print at a speed of 2 pages-per-minute in draft mode or 1 page-per-minute in best mode,[2] twice as fast as the original model. The main printing mechanism and sheet feeder have also been combined into a single unit, unlike the original.[1] It is compatible with Canon BC-02 bubblejet cartridges.[3]
The StyleWriter II is the first printer to include GrayShare technology, which allows Apple printers without built-in networking hardware to be shared over AppleTalk through a host Macintosh computer. However, it does not support grayscale printing from older Macs with Motorola 68000 processors as they do not support color.[1][4]
Included fonts[]
Scalable TrueType fonts are included on disk.[1] Support for PostScript Type 1 fonts can be added by using Adobe Type Manager.[5]
Discontinuation[]
The StyleWriter II was discontinued on April 17, 1995 with the release of the StyleWriter 1200.[6]
