Apple ImageWriter LQ
The Apple ImageWriter LQ is idea for users who need a versatile dot-matrix printer to handle a broad range of office printing tasks. Besides producing letter-quality text and graphics, the ImageWriter LQ offers paper handling, color, and networking capabilities. Compatible with both Macintosh and Apple II personal computers, the ImageWriter LQ is designed to print virtually any type of document on almost any type of paper, with ease and clarity.
Exceptionally flexible paper-handling features - including a single push/pull tractor, a bottom feed, and an optional cut-sheet feeder - let you effortlessly print multipart forms, heavy-gauge paper, envelopes, and labels in addition to standard reports or correspondence. A 15-inch-wide carriage lets you print financial spreadsheets and, with the addition of the ImageWriter LQ Color Ribbon, you can use color to highlight reports or presentation graphics. What's more, with the addition of the ImageWriter AppleTalk Option, up to 31 users on an AppleTalk network can share an ImageWriter LQ, for cost-effective printing.
