The

FingerPrint'

SS

Serial

Printer

Interface

The

Apple

II

is

purposely

made

to

accept

expansion

boards.

The

owner

can

add

the

serial

or

parallel

printer

interface

that

is

appropriate

for

the

kind

of

printer

connected

to

the

computer.

What

It

Is

The

FingerPrint

SS

is

a

small

circuit

board

that

sends

data

from

the

Apple

II

to

your

printer.

It

plugs

into

an

empty

slot

on

the

main

circuit

board,

the

motherboard,

of

your

Apple

IT.

What

It

Does

The

FingerPrint

SS

operates

automatically

through

your

software

or

if

writing

your

own

programs,

through

simple

keystroke

commands.

It

enables

the

programmer

to

print

screen

graphics,

or

text

in

full

color

or

black

&

white.

It

will

send

commands

to

the

printer

to

set

page

margins,

line

length,

line

feed,

and

page

length,

etc.

If

you

are

using

commercially

prepared

software,

these

features

are

done

by

the

software.

The

FingerPrint

SS

will

let

you

dump

the

screen

to

the

printer,

rotate

the

screen-dump

90

degrees,

double

its

size,

etc.

The

FingerPrint

SS

is

compatible

with

the

majority

of

brand

name

printers.

The

FingerPrint

SS

offers

more

flexibility

with

the

computer

and

the

printer

than

with

any

other

printer

interface.

A

)

Warranty

Important:

Save

the

Sales

Receipt.

The

FingerPrint

SS

comes

with

a

two

year

no

hassle

warranty.

If

there

is

ever

a

problem

with

the

FingerPrint

SS

Printer

interface

during

the

warranty

period,

or

Fort

Lauderdale,

FL

33331

along

with

the

sales

receipt

for

a

no

hassle

or

exchange.

3

How

It

Works

The

FingerPrint

SS

works

in

either

of

two

ways:

1)

Asa

serial

printer

interface

with

the

added

feature

of

allowing

the

user

to

manipulate

and

control

the

printer

settings

from

the

keyboard

of

the

com-

puter.

bo

)

As

a

serial

communications

interface

for

use

with

modems

or

other

serial

DCE

(data

communication

equipment)

devices.

Please

note

that

there

is

no

need

to

change

the

cable

when

switching

from

one

to

the

other

of

the

above

applications.

In

the

upper

left-hand

corer

of

the

card

are

a

set

of

shunts

which

allow

you

to

select

the

way

in

which

your

FingerPrint

card

will

work.

When

set

as

seen

in

position

"A",

the

FingerPrint

card

will

be

set

for

use

with

a

printer.

When

set

in

position

"B",

the

card

is

set

to

work

with

modems

or

other

DCE

type

devices.

Please

note

that

the

Apple

Personal

Modem

uses

the

setting

a

shown

in

position

"A".

Make

sure

that

you

have

the

correct

setting

for

your

application

or

the

FingerPrint

SS

card

will

not

function

correctly.

You

should

now

go

on

to

the

and

set

the

DIP

switches

that

correspond

to

the

printer

that

you

will

be

using

before

installing

the

FingerPrint

card

in

your

com-

puter.

The

Dip

Switch

Prior

to

installation,

find

the

small

group

of

8

switches

mounted

on

the

card.

This

is

called

the

Dip

Switch.

Locate

your

printer

on

the

printer

chart

below,

and

set

each

switch

handle

on

the

dip

switch

to

either

on

or

off,

according

to

the

chart.

The

switch

will

show

1

or

0.

1

is

on

and

0

is

off.

If

your

printer

is

not

listed,

ask

your

dealer

is

compatible

and

use

those

settings.
