Here are all the available print sizes:

     Size                      Escape code
     ----                      -----------
     9 CPI (Extended)          ESC n
     10 CPI (Pica)             ESC N
     12 CPI (Elite)            ESC E
     13.4 CPI (Semicondensed)  ESC e
     15 CPI (Condensed)        ESC q
     17 CPI (Ultracondensed)   ESC Q
     Proportional 2 (144 DPI)  ESC p
     Proportional 1 (160 DPI)  ESC P

Additionally, control-N turns on double-width mode, which makes any of the
above sizes print twice as wide as normal.  Control-O returns to normal.

The default print size when you first turn on the printer is controlled by
DIP switches SW1-6 and SW1-7.  The settings are as follows:

     SW1-6  SW1-7   Default print size
     -----  -----   ------------------
     Open   Open    10 CPI (Pica)
     Closed Open    12 CPI (Elite)
     Open   Closed  17 CPI (Ultracondensed)
     Closed Closed  Proportional 1 (160 DPI)

The factory setting is "Closed, Open" (12 CPI).

Not that I'm aware of.

I think Apple still sells the Imagewriter II, in which case you might still
be able to buy a manual somewhere.
