SUMMARY
To print from Microsoft Excel to an ImageWriter as a TTY printer using Mac Daisy Link, use the following settings (NOTE: cpi = characters per inch):

                       12 cpi            17 cpi --           -- Page setup settings Printer emulation    Typewriter        Typewriter Baud rate            9600              9600 Handshaking          Xon/Xoff & DTR    Xon/Xoff & DTR Data bits            8                 8 Parity               None              None Stop bits            1                 1 Lines per inch (lpi) 6                 6 Line height          Automatic         Custom 12

Worksheet settings Row height           Automatic         12 Font                 Langley 10 pt. Langley 9 pt.

DIP switch settings DIP switch SW1-6     Closed            Open DIP switch SW1-7     Open              Closed

Note that the printer must be turned off and then back on before any changes to the DIP switch settings will take effect.

Also note that when using the 17 cpi settings, Excel will print only to approximately two-thirds the width of the page because the width of the font on screen is wider than the width of the printed font. To work around this, select a wider paper size such as Computer Paper, then insert a manual page break to the right of the last column to be printed.
