    If the error lights on the Color StyleWriter Pro indicate service is needed, you can first try resetting the printer. If resetting the printer doesn't correct the situation, it needs to be serviced.

    Resetting the Color StyleWriter Pro
      1. Disconnect the power cord from the Color StyleWriter Pro while it is still on.
      2. Open printer and remove all four ink cartridges.
      3. Open Print Head case and remove the print head.
      4. Wait 1-2 minutes.
      5. Replace print head and make sure that the lid for the print head snaps twice locking it down.
      6. Replace all four ink cartridges, making sure that they snap into place.
      7. Wait a few seconds, then reinsert the power cord into the printer.
    Once the power cord is reconnected to the printer, it should print a calibration page. If it doesn't, use the Utilities option in the print dialog box to print a calibration page.
