 This article last reviewed: 1 May 1989

 This article describes how to put together three 5.25-inch disks for
 printing to a LaserWriter from an Apple II with AppleWorks (releases 2.0 and
 later).  This makes the AppleWorks-LaserWriter connection available when
 only one or two 5.25-inch disk drives reside on the Apple II system.

 Overview
 --------
 The process requires these three disks:

 - The IWEM.BOOT Disk

 - The APPLEWORKS Startup Disk

 - The APPLEWORKS Program Disk

 Have these disks handy to go through the process described below.  The rest
 of the article describes what to do with each disk, beginning with the
 IWEM.BOOT disk.  The article concludes with listings of the catalogs of the
 three disks.


 The IWEM.BOOT Disk
 ------------------
 For AppleWorks to print to a LaserWriter, you need to download the
 ImageWriter Emulator (IWEM) to the LaserWriter.  To do this, you need the
 disk labeled: IWEM.BOOT.  Follow these steps:

 1) Start up the Apple II with the IWEM.BOOT disk. This leaves the user at
   the Applesoft BASIC prompt.

 2) At the prompt, type:

   -CHOOSER.II
 3) Select "LaserWriter" in the top left scroll box.

 4) In the lower left scroll box, select the zone of the desired LaserWriter.

 5) In the top right scroll box, select the name of the desired LaserWriter.
   Once you select the LaserWriter in the third box, CHOOSER.II checks for
   the presence of IWEM.  If not already downloaded, it will be downloaded.

 6) Quit from CHOOSER.II.

 This procedure needs to be used each time the LaserWriter is powered off and
 back on.  The power cycle causes IWEM to be purged.  Occasionally, the IWEM
 may be corrupted by other printing sessions, like a Macintosh printing
 session.  If an Apple II workstation attempts to print to the IWEM with no
 results, try downloading the IWEM again.


 The APPLEWORKS Startup Disk
 ---------------------------
 With the IWEM downloaded, the next step is to start up with the APPLEWORKS
 startup disk and set the desired printer as the default printer for the
 user.  With the disk configured as below, on startup, the Applesoft prompt
 appears.  Follow these steps:

 1) At the prompt, type:

   -CHOOSER.II

   This time, CHOOSER.II is used only to select the printer for use by
   AppleWorks.  The APPLEWORKS startup disk assumes the IWEM is downloaded.

 2) Select the same choices that were selected in the IWEM.BOOT section.
   The selection is written to the APPLEWORKS startup disk.  Unless the
   printer is moved, renamed, or an alternate printer is desired, you do not
   need to run CHOOSER.II again during future AppleWorks sessions.

 3) Quit CHOOSER.II.

   This presents the following request:

   ENTER PREFIX (PRESS "RETURN" TO ACCEPT) 4) In response, type:

   /APPLEWORKS/

   and press RETURN.  This displays the request:

   ENTER PATHNAME OF NEXT APPLICATION

 5) In response, type:

   APLWORKS

   and press RETURN.  This runs the AppleWorks application.  AppleWorks
   requests the APPLEWORKS program disk.


 The APPLEWORKS Program Disk
 ---------------------------
 Continue the process by following these instructions:

 1) Insert the APPLEWORKS program disk.  Then press the space bar and RETURN.
@L
 2) Once in AppleWorks, select:

   #5: Other Activities.

 3) Then select:

   #7: Specify information about your printer(s)

 4) Then select:

   #2: Add a printer (maximum of 3)

 5) Next select:

   #2: Apple ImageWriter

 6) Give this ImageWriter driver a name to represent it as the LaserWriter on
   the network (like "Network LaserWriter").

 7) Designate the correct slot -- the slot the Workstation Card is in on an
   Apple IIe or slot 7 on an Apple IIGS.

 8) The default settings on the next screen are correct, therefore, ESCAPE
   back to the Main Menu.  From this point, everything (including control
   codes for underlining, bold-facing, and so on) functions as though
   AppleWorks is printing to an ImageWriter.


 Changes To Be Made
 ------------------
 Beyond configuring the disks with the following files, one filename needs
 to be changed.  On the APPLEWORKS startup disk, APLWORKS.SYSTEM needs to be
 changed to APLWORKS.  Leaving the .SYSTEM off allows BASIC.SYSTEM to be the
 startup application, thus, allowing CHOOSER.II to be run, following startup
 with the APPLEWORKS startup disk and before running APLWORKS.

 There are 21 blocks available on the APPLEWORKS startup disk.  It may be
 possible to create a small menu program to "front end" the APPLEWORKS disk.
 The menu program is not covered in this document.
