Apple ImageWriter II – Vintage Dot-Matrix Printer [1985] - Macintosh

Apple ImageWriter II – Model A9M0320 – Powers On – Vintage Dot-Matrix Printer

Offered here is an Apple ImageWriter II (A9M0320), a classic dot-matrix printer compatible with vintage Macintosh and Apple II systems.

This unit powers on but has not been fully tested, as no system or drivers were available for a complete functional check. The ribbon, as shown in the photos, is likely dried out after many years of storage.
This was originally a personal project that I never completed, so I am now passing it on to another Apple enthusiast who has the knowledge and equipment to explore it further.

– Functional testing beyond power-on not performed;
