StyleWriter II

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.

Description
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, 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. It is compatible with Canon BC-02 bubblejet cartridges.

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.

Included fonts
Scalable TrueType fonts are included on disk. Support for PostScript Type 1 fonts can be added by using Adobe Type Manager.

Discontinuation
The StyleWriter II was discontinued on April 17, 1995 with the release of the StyleWriter 1200.
