Length
[edit]Well, this article is painfully short. I'm decieded to do a major re-haul of this article over the weekend, featuring actual models of the stylewriter. Any help is appreciated. You can contact me by my AIM client handle: wCoolFox. --CoolFox 17:32, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
- I was thinking about how to format this article. I'm thinking of the format I did for the recently expanded AlphaSmart article that did. Basicly starting with some some of the backround, then for each model, give the design elements, features, and possibly specs if I can get my hands on them. Each model will have its own sub section [or sub-sub section if deemed appropriate]. I was also thinking of separating the models by their printing type (color, or b/w). If anyone can help me with specifactions, that would be most appreciated. --CoolFox 18:51, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
Disambiguation
[edit]There is no Wikipedia article for the StyleWriter software (http://www.stylewriter-usa.com/) which is what I was originally looking for. 204.186.126.183 (talk) 16:29, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
" In Commemoration of 1 million style writers ' reversible jacket
[edit]we found a reversible commemorative jacket for 1 million printers in 2012 https://www.reddit.com/r/VintageApple/comments/3q8pgx/found_rare_canon_apple_jacket_in_commemoration/ https://www.facebook.com/cnet/posts/844756132303844
i can't find any information on who this jacket was made for or how many jackets were made. I'm still waiting to hear back from Apple and/or Canon Public Relations — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.204.172.127 (talk) 23:03, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
Limited fonts is wrong
[edit]"The StyleWriter could print in four different font families: Times, Helvetica, Courier, and Symbol.[1]"
I believe that's wrong, and based on a misunderstanding. Unlike most printers of the time the StyleWriter did NOT have a built in character generator (and also lacked the imagining processor of today's printers). Instead the host computer imaged the page internally (using Quickdraw) and sent the printer a bitmap image of the page. Hence the printer could print whatever fonts were installed on the host computer. Antifesto (talk) 00:32, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
Codenames necessary?
[edit]Seems not exactly appropriate? Likeanechointheforest (talk) 02:44, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Not useful, and poorly sourced to date. I agree with the removal. I'd be happy to see such names (backed by reliable sources) discussed in the context of the products' evolution at Apple (and there are Mac user magazines of the day so this could be sourced). As a mere list of names, this is trivia. BusterD (talk) 12:25, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
