This article describes the StyleWriter Printer Package for Newton.

Overview

The StyleWriter Printer package enables printing from a Newton device to StyleWriter 4100, 4500 and 6500. These drivers, once installed on the Newton device will show up in the printer list under "choose other printer" in the print dialog box. (To print to a StyleWriter 4100, choose the StyleWriter 4500 option.)

Free upgrades for Mac OS and Windows users are available from the Newton, Inc. World Wide Web site and ftp site.


StyleWriter 4100/4500/6500 Read Me

General

1. I only see files for a 4500 or 6500 StyleWriter printer driver not a 4100 printer driver.

To use the 4100 printer, install the 4500 print driver onto your eMate or MessagePad 2000 and it will show the 4100 printer as an option.

2. My 6500 StyleWriter printer can be shared as a networked LocalTalk printer but it's not an option for me to select.

Currently, the printer drivers for the eMate 300 and MessagePad 2000 that work with the Stylewriter 4100, 4500 or 6500 are designed for a direct serial connection only.

3. When I print a note containing lots of ink text, words and sometimes sentences are missing from the printed output.

This is a known limitation with the high resolution printing option. To workaround this issue, select draft and the text should print.
