The Color StyleWriter 4500 won’t print a particular document

If you attempt to print a document and no page is printed—not even a blank one—try the following:

mCheck for messages on your computer screen. Also, choose CSW 4000 Series PrintMonitor from the Application menu.

mYour computer may be low on memory. See “Memory Is Low,” later in this chapter.

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.

mPrinting problems can often be caused by errors in your applications. If you can print from the SimpleText or TeachText application but not from another application, it’s probably a problem with that application. Contact the publisher of that application for help.

mRestart your computer.

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:

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

mMake sure the ink cartridges are correctly installed. (For instructions, see “Installing the Ink Cartridges” in Chapter 1.)

mThe printer may be out of ink, or the cartridges need to be cleaned. You can check by seeing whether the sample page prints. See “Printing a Sample Page” in Chapter 1. For instructions on cleaning the cartridges, see “Cleaning the Cartridges,” later in this chapter.
