TOPIC



    I have a Color StyleWriter 2400 printer and I cannot get it to print a test page.

DISCUSSION


    There are two conditions where the Color StyleWriter 2400 does not generate a test page

    LocalTalk Cable
    ===============
    If you are using LocalTalk cable instead of a standard System/Peripheral 8 cable (Apple Part # M0197), the printer sends a blank page through the printer when power is applied to the printer. This is due to a sensor located in the port on the printer.

    Solution:
    ---------
    Disconnect LocalTalk cables and use the System/Peripheral 8 cable that came with the printer


    New Ink Cartridge
    =================
    Unlike previous versions of the StyleWriter ink cartridges, you cannot shake the Color StyleWriter 2400 ink cartridges to get the ink started.

    Solution:
    ---------
    Listen for clicking sounds while printing the test page. Sometimes the printout looks like an imprint, or very light text. This is corrected by using the clean option available in the Utilities section of the print dialog.


    Creating a Test Page
    ====================
    1) Holding down the power button on startup until the yellow orange light comes on and then goes off.

    2) Release the power button.
