The Color StyleWriter 2400 won’t print a particular document

If you attempt to print a document and no page is printed, try the following:

mCheck for messages on your Macintosh screen. (If necessary, open PrintMonitor, which is available in the Application menu at the top right corner of the screen.)

mTurn the printer off, then on again. (This resets the printer.)

mRepeat the printing process.

Sometimes problems disappear when you try to print your document again.

mTry printing from another program.

mRestart your Macintosh.

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:

mMake sure the ink cartridge and the ink tanks in the four-color cartridge are correctly installed. (For instructions, see “Replacing Ink Tanks in the Four-Color Ink Cartridge” and “Replacing the Ink Cartridge” in Chapter 4).

mTo make sure the printer is not out of ink, print the test page. For instructions, see “Checking the Print Nozzles” in Chapter 1.

mIf the ink cartridge is new, make sure that you removed the tape from its print head.

mTry cleaning the print head or printing the test page. For instructions, see “Unwanted Horizontal White Lines or Stripes Appear” in the section “Images Print Poorly,” later in this chapter.

The printer seems slow

See the suggestions in “Speed” in Chapter 3.

If you have a Macintosh IIfx or Macintosh Quadra 950 computer, check the Serial Switch control panel. Make sure the setting is “Compatible.”

Note: The printer automatically takes a few moments to clean the print head when it is plugged back in or after more than three days of inactivity.
