4To keep a record of what’s printed on your printer, click the “Keep Log of Printer Usage” checkbox to put an X in it.

You can open and print the log with SimpleText, TeachText, or another word- processing program. To find the log file, open your System Folder; then open the Preferences folder, and open the Printing Prefs folder.

Note: You can keep a log even if your printer is not shared.

5Click OK to close the sharing setup dialog box.

Sharing works only if background printing is turned on. If it is not turned on, ColorShare turns it on.

6Close the Chooser (click the close box in the upper-left corner).

If Color StyleWriter 2400 software has been installed on their Macintosh computers, other users connected to the network can now use

your Color StyleWriter 2400. (For information about installing the Color StyleWriter 2400 software, see Chapter 1.)

IMPORTANT For others to be able to use the shared Color StyleWriter 2400 printer, your Macintosh must be turned on.
