4 Maintaining Your Printer

It doesn’t take much effort to keep your Color StyleWriter 4500 printer in good working condition. You simply have to replace the ink cartridges when they run out of ink and clean the printer or print head if you notice a problem. (For instructions on cleaning the printhead, see “Cleaning the cartridges” in Chapter 5.

For other service, see the information about service and support that comes with your Color StyleWriter 4500.

IMPORTANT Follow all the safety instructions given at the beginning of

Replacing ink cartridges

Look carefully at your printed documents to see if a color is missing or faded. Sometimes it’s obvious—such as when you run out of black ink. At other times you may notice that the colors seem wrong—such as when you’re printing a nature scene and you run out of yellow.

The best way to verify that ink is running low is to print the sample page. (For details, see “Printing the Sample Page” in Chapter 1.)
