Apple Color StyleWriter 6500 - Manual (Page 85)

A PowerBook has trouble printing to the Color StyleWriter 6500
Some PowerBook computers have special requirements for printing. See
“Special Information for PowerBook Owners” in Chapter 2.
The printer seems slow
See the suggestions under “Speed” in Chapter 5.
If you have a Macintosh IIfx, Macintosh Quadra 900, or Macintosh
Quadra 950 computer, check the Serial Switch control panel. Make sure
it is set to Compatible.
The Color StyleWriter 6500 won’t print a particular document
If you attempt to print a document and no page is printed—not even a blank
one—try the following:
m Your computer may be low on memory. See the next section, “Memory
Is Low.”
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 Printing problems can often be caused by errors in your applications. If
you can print from the SimpleText or TeachText application but not from
another application, it’s probably a problem with that application. Contact
the publisher of that application for help.
m Restart your computer.
Memory is low
Once in a while, your computer may be temporarily low on random-access
memory (RAM).
Symptoms that indicate a memory problem:
m Some documents do not print.
m Characters look jagged.
m An “out of memory” message appears on your screen.
