Apple Color StyleWriter 4500 - Manual (Page 77)

The Color StyleWriter 4500 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 Check for messages on your computer screen. Also, choose CSW 4000
Series PrintMonitor from the Application menu.
m Your computer may be low on memory. See “Memory Is Low,” later in this
chapter.
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.
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 If the ink cartridge is new, make sure that you removed the tape from its
print head.
m Make sure the ink cartridges are correctly installed. (For instructions, see
“Installing the Ink Cartridges” in Chapter 1.)
m The printer may be out of ink, or the cartridges need to be cleaned. You
can check by seeing whether the sample page prints. See “Printing a
Sample Page” in Chapter 1. For instructions on cleaning the cartridges, see
“Cleaning the Cartridges,” later in this chapter.
