Turning the printer on and off
To turn on the printer, press the power button. The green power light glows.
To turn the printer off, press the power button again. The power light goes out.
Power Macintosh users and virtual memory
If you are using a Power Macintosh computer, you may want to turn on
virtual memory before you try to print on the Color StyleWriter 4500. Then
choose a setting that’s at least 1 MB higher than your “Available built-in
memory.” (You can set it higher without any ill effects.) With this setting, you
will avoid some potential printing problems. Turning on virtual memory also
reduces the amount of memory needed by many applications. For instructions
on turning on virtual memory, see the documentation that came with your
computer.
WARNING
Except in an emergency, make sure the printer is turned off
before you unplug it. (When the power light is off, the power is off.) If
the printer is plugged into a power strip, never turn off the power strip
unless you’ve already turned the printer off.
When you turn off the printer, it moves the ink cartridges to the right,
where it caps the nozzles to keep the ink cartridges from drying out. If
you unplug the printer or discontinue power before turning it off, the
printer can’t position the cartridges in the capped position, the print
head may dry out, and you’ll have to replace the cartridge.
