Apple Color StyleWriter 2200 - Manual (Page 78)

When to replace an ink cartridge
Age is the primary factor in determining when a cartridge wears out. If you’ve
done a lot of printing with your cartridge and notice a gradual deterioration in
print quality, it may be time to install a new ink cartridge. Before you do, try
printing the test page in case a clogged nozzle is the problem. (See “Printing
the Test Page” in the section “Cleaning the Print Head” later in this chapter.)
Note: A new ink cartridge comes with a fresh ink tank or tanks already
installed.
How to find ink cartridges
You should be able to find cartridges, ink tanks, and other supplies for your
Color StyleWriter 2200 printer at any Apple-authorized reseller.
How to replace an ink cartridge
IMPORTANT Before replacing the cartridge, try printing the test page. (See
“Printing the Test Page” in the section “Cleaning the Print Head” later in this
chapter.)
For instructions on replacing an ink cartridge, see “Installing an Ink
Cartridge” in Chapter 1.
Storing the ink cartridge you aren’t using
The Color StyleWriter 2200 comes with two ink cartridges, a black and a
color cartridge. While they are sealed in their original packaging, the ink
cartridges are protected. If you open both packages and switch ink cartridges
for printing different documents, be sure to store the one you’re not using in
the storage case supplied with your Color StyleWriter 2200. The storage case
keeps the print head from drying out and prevents accidents with ink stains.
