 ImageWriter II's make good replacements for the IBM 3287 dot matrix printers
 commonly used with the IBM 3270 family of terminal devices. The IBM 3278
 terminals can be replaced with an AppleLine-Macintosh-MacTerminal combination,
 and you can replace the IBM 3287 printers with this simple and cost effective
 configuration:

      Equipment           Vendor         Number
 ------------------------  ------        --------
 IRMAprint                  DCA *        PC3287-S
 ImageWriter II Printer     Apple        A9M0310
 Apple II Printer 8 cable   Apple        A9C0313

 --> Installation Diagram

 IBM 3274/6 --> Coax cable --> IRMAprint --> Printer 8 cable --> ImageWriter II

 This solution proves to be a good value because it provides better print
 quality and speed than the IBM 3287 or similar printers such as Telex.
