Apple Color StyleWriter Pro - Manual (Page 58)

The printer acts as if it’s working but nothing is printed on the page
If your printer takes the paper and makes the usual noises, but doesn’t actually
print anything, try the following:
m Make sure all four ink cartridges are correctly installed (see Chapter 4).
m Make sure the printer is not out of ink.
m Remove each cartridge and make sure that no foil is blocking the ink hole.
m Make sure that you removed the tape from the new print head and that the
print head is correctly installed and its lid is completely closed.
m Try cleaning and super cleaning the print head (see Chapter 4).
The printer seems slow
m See the suggestions in “Speed” in Chapter 3.
m The printer automatically takes a few moments to clean the print head
when it is plugged back in or after more than two days of inactivity.
Messages on your computer screen
Most messages that appear on your screen are self-explanatory. For example,
they may tell you that the printer is out of paper or that the paper is jammed.
Once you correct the problem, the message goes away.
The computer tells you the waste ink container in the printer is full
From time to time, the printer deposits some ink into a waste container. In the
rare event that the container becomes full, Apple recommends that you take
the printer to an Apple-authorized service provider.
The computer tells you there is an error in the printer
Check to make sure the cable is still connected to both the printer and the
computer.
The print head lid may be open. Turn off the printer, lift up the printer cover,
then open the print head lid inside. Close it firmly, making sure both sides are
firmly latched.
