Apple COLOR STYLEWRITER 2400 - Manual (Page 63)

The Color StyleWriter 2400 won’t print a particular document
If you attempt to print a document and no page is printed, try the following:
m Check for messages on your Macintosh screen. (If necessary, open
PrintMonitor, which is available in the Application menu at the top right
corner of the screen.)
m Turn the printer off, then on again. (This resets the printer.)
m Repeat the printing process.
Sometimes problems disappear when you try to print your document again.
m
Try printing from another program.
m Restart your Macintosh.
The printer acts as if it’s working, but nothing is printed on the page
If your printer takes the paper, but doesn’t actually print anything, try the
following:
m Make sure the ink cartridge and the ink tanks in the four-color cartridge
are correctly installed. (For instructions, see “Replacing Ink Tanks in the
Four-Color Ink Cartridge” and “Replacing the Ink Cartridge” in Chapter 4).
m To make sure the printer is not out of ink, print the test page. For
instructions, see “Checking the Print Nozzles” in Chapter 1.
m If the ink cartridge is new, make sure that you removed the tape from its
print head.
m Try cleaning the print head or printing the test page. For instructions, see
“Unwanted Horizontal White Lines or Stripes Appear” in the section
“Images Print Poorly,” later in this chapter.
The printer seems slow
See the suggestions in “Speed” in Chapter 3.
If you have a Macintosh IIfx or Macintosh Quadra 950 computer, check the
Serial Switch control panel. Make sure the setting is “Compatible.”
Note: The printer automatically takes a few moments to clean the print head
when it is plugged back in or after more than three days of inactivity.
