See your Apple-authorized dealer.
Plugging in the printer Plug the connector end of the power adapter into the printer and then plug the other end of the adapter into a wall outlet or power strip.
Turning the printer on and off You press the power button to turn the printer on and off. When you plug in the printer, you’ll hear the printer preparing itself. Before you press the power button to turn the printer on, wait a few moments for the preparation sounds to subside. To turn the printer on (and off), press this button. This light blinks. This light glows while the printer is on. After you press the power button, you’ll hear the printer preparing itself again for several seconds.
Installing an ink cartridge The ink cartridge contains the ink tanks and print head, which sprays the ink onto the paper. Treat the cartridge gently so you don’t damage the tiny nozzles. WARNING The carrier holds the ink cartridge and moves it back and forth when you are printing a document. When the printer is plugged in, don’t slide the carrier by hand or you may damage the printer. 1 Pull up the top cover. Once the top cover is up, it serves as the printer’s sheet feeder. Open the top cover.
2 Press the power button to turn the printer on if necessary. The green light flashes, then glows solidly. If this is the first time you are installing an ink cartridge, the amber error light will also blink. 3 Locate the tabs on either side of the cartridge access door. Press both tabs outward to release the door. Press the tabs outward to open the cartridge access door.
4 Open the cartridge access door. This carrier holds the ink cartridge. 5 Wait until the carrier moves to the center of the printer. 6 Remove the cover from the package that contains the ink cartridge. You can install either the black cartridge or the color cartridge. (These instructions show the color cartridge being installed, but the process is the same for either cartridge.) 7 Remove the ink cartridge from the package, grasping the cartridge by its sides.
8 Remove the bright orange cap from the cartridge’s print head. After you remove it, dispose of the cap. 9 Peel the orange tape off the print head.
10 Insert the ink cartridge into its place in the printer. Note: Instructions are inscribed on the right side of the cartridge cavity to remind you how to install an ink cartridge. 11 Close the cartridge access door. Make sure to close both sides of the door. 12 Press the purge button to draw ink into the nozzles. Press the purge button each time you install a new cartridge. Make sure you press the purge button when you install a new ink cartridge.
Connecting the printer to your Macintosh IMPORTANT Even if you’re planning to share the printer over a network, the Apple System/Peripheral-8 cable must connect the printer directly to the computer. Use only the cable that comes with the printer or a similar replacement. Do not use a LocalTalk cable. Connect one end of the cable to either the printer port or the modem port, which are labeled with these icons. Some PowerBook computers have a combined serial port with two icons.
Loading paper into the sheet feeder The sheet feeder holds up to 30 sheets of 20-pound paper and feeds the paper automatically into the printer. You can load many sizes of paper and other media into the sheet feeder as described in Chapter 2, but to do a nozzle check, as described in the next section, you must use U.S. Letter or A4 Letter paper. To load paper into the sheet feeder, follow these steps: 1 Pull up the top cover. 2 Place the paper in the sheet feeder and adjust the paper guide.
Checking the print nozzles The Color StyleWriter 2200 prints by spraying ink onto the paper through tiny nozzles. Sometimes these small nozzles get clogged after sitting unused for a long time. To make sure all the nozzles are working, follow these steps. 1 If necessary, turn off the printer. The green power light should be off. 2 Press and hold down the power button until the amber error light turns off. Power button 3 Release the button and wait for the test page to print.
The test pattern for the black ink cartridge looks like this: 5 If you see broken or missing lines, one or more nozzles may be clogged. To clear the nozzle, repeat this nozzle check, starting with step 1. The nozzle check includes a procedure that cleans the nozzles. You may need to perform the nozzle check several times. Installing your printer software The disks that come with the Color StyleWriter 2200 contain the printer software and an Installer program that copies the software onto your hard disk.
4 To start the Installer program, double-click its icon. You may have to open the disk icon to see the Installer icon. 5 In the Welcome dialog box that appears, click Continue. IMPORTANT The Installer determines whether you have the correct system software, and enough memory and hard disk space to use this printer. If you do not, the Installer displays a message telling you what you need. You won’t be able to install the printer software until you correct the system software or memory problem.
8 When you see a message reporting that installation was successful, click Restart. The Installer restarts your Macintosh. After you restart, you may notice a new icon on your desktop, one that represents a printer. It’s called a desktop printer, and it looks like this. For information about desktop printers, see “Desktop Printing” and “Monitoring and Controlling Background Printing” in Chapter 2.
Telling your computer to use the Color StyleWriter 2200 Before using your printer the first time, you must select it in the Chooser. 1 Select Chooser from the Apple (K) menu. 2 In the Chooser dialog box, click the appropriate items to select them. On most Macintosh computers, the Chooser looks like this: First, click this icon.
Special information for PowerBook owners Some PowerBook computers have a single serial port identified by a combination printer/modem icon ([/W). If an internal modem is installed on one of these PowerBook computers, the serial port may be in use even though it looks available. When you plug in the Color StyleWriter 2200, the PowerBook may not be able to communicate with the printer. To make the port available for printing, make sure the serial port setting is Normal or External.
Printing a document to make sure everything’s working The best way to see if your printer is set up correctly is to try printing something. The following steps describe how to print the Color SW 2200— Troubleshooting file that was installed on your hard disk, but you can print any document you want. Before you begin Return to the Finder by quitting any programs you’re running. 1 Find the Color SW 2200—Troubleshooting file. Unless you moved it, you can find the file by double-clicking your hard disk icon.
6 Click the Print button. For information about all the choices you can make in the Print dialog box, see “Printing a Document” and “Creating Special Effects on the Color StyleWriter 2200” in Chapter 2. Click here. After a few moments, the printer begins printing the page or pages. If there’s a problem, see Chapter 6 for suggestions. (The most common problem is failing to follow the instructions in “Telling Your Computer to Use the Color StyleWriter 2200,” earlier in this chapter.
2 Printing This chapter explains how to use the Color StyleWriter 2200 for everyday tasks. Before you follow the instructions in this chapter, make sure the printer is set up and working, as described in Chapter 1. Note: If you use QuickDraw GX, not all of the instructions in this chapter will apply to your software. See Appendix D for more information.
Planning documents with the Color StyleWriter 2200 in mind Many printer options affect page layout. Before you spend a lot of time laying out a document, set it up as you plan to print it: 1 Select the printer you plan to use. See “Switching Between Printers,” later in this chapter. 2 With the document active on your computer screen, choose Page Setup from the File menu and select the options you like. The key areas that affect page layout are paper size, orientation, and scaling percentage.
Positioning print materials in the sheet feeder The sheet feeder holds paper, envelopes, or other materials and feeds them automatically into the printer. To position print materials in the sheet feeder, follow these steps: 1 Open the printer by pulling up the top cover. IMPORTANT Don’t mix envelopes with paper in the feeder. Insert letterhead paper face up with the top of the page pointing downward. Insert envelopes this way. (Make sure the flap is smoothed flat.) Adjust the paper guide.
Here are details about the kinds of material you can use in your Color StyleWriter 2200 printer. Print material Maximum Special instructions Plain paper 30 sheets m Use 16- to 24-pound paper. Premium coated paper 8 sheets m Use only paper designed for this printer. m The whiter side should face you. Glossy paper 8 sheets m Use only paper designed for this printer. m To prevent misfeeds, put one sheet of plain paper at the back of the stack. m The shinier side should face you.
Printing a document The next three sections explain the different ways you can print a document: m Quick instructions for printing standard documents. To print documents that don’t require any special options, see this section. (The section describes what a “standard document” is.) m Detailed instructions for printing other documents. To print documents that require any of the non-standard options, see this section. m Desktop printing. To print documents without leaving the Finder desktop, see this section.
Detailed instructions for printing other documents If your document is not standard (as defined in the previous section), follow these steps: 1 If you haven’t already selected the Color StyleWriter 2200 in the Chooser, do so now. You already selected the Color StyleWriter 2200 in Chapter 1 and, if it’s the only printer you ever use, you won’t need to do it again. If you do need to switch, see “Switching Between Printers,” later in this chapter.
Item in dialog box What you use it for Page Size Indicate size of paper in the sheet feeder. Layout Print 2 or 4 mini pages per sheet of paper. Borders Put a border around the mini pages. Scaling Enlarge or reduce the printed image. Type a number between 5 and 999 or choose a number from the pop-up menu. Orientation Indicate whether the printed page should be longer than wide or vice-versa. Watermark Specify a background image to be printed on every page.
Item in dialog box What you use it for Copies Type how many copies of the document you want. Pages Indicate how many pages of the document to print. To print the whole document, click All. To print a range of pages, type the beginning and end page numbers. As a shortcut, you can indicate the first page by leaving the “From” box blank or the last page by leaving the “To” box blank. Print Quality Select which level of quality you want.
Desktop printing If your application program is capable of doing so, you can also print documents without leaving the Finder, using one of the two methods described here. These methods are particularly efficient when you have a number of documents you want to print at once or when you are printing a document that you have already formatted. m Drag the icons of the documents you want to print to the desktop icon of the printer you want to use.
Adjusting color options To adjust the way colors are printed and improve the look of your documents, follow these steps: 1 Choose Print from the File menu. 2 In the dialog box that appears, click Color. Click Color. Some programs provide a second box you must click before the Color Options dialog box opens. See the Read Me file on your hard disk for information about printing in color with specific programs. 3 Select your color options.
The ColorSync color-matching system ensures that colors look consistent between different devices, such as monitors, printers, scanners, or digital cameras. In addition, ColorSync helps give you the best possible color consistency when you export an image to another Macintosh with ColorSync installed or print it on another color printer. Note: Open the ColorSync control panel and make sure the system profile is correct for your monitor.
More information about color printing Here is some additional information about color printing. m Different programs may define colors in different ways. When you choose a shade of red in one program, you may not be able to find an exact match in another program. You can adjust the color in the second program until you’re satisfied with the printed results. To see how different programs define color, consult the manuals that came with your programs.
2 Choose how many pages you want to appear on each sheet of paper from the Layout pop-up menu. Look here to see the effects of the option you choose. 3 If you’d like a border around each mini page, click to put an X in the Borders box. Printing a watermark on each page of your document Traditionally, a watermark is a translucent image impressed on a piece of paper that you can see only by holding the paper up to the light.
4 Adjust the Density and Scaling. Look here to see the effects of the scaling option you choose. Move this slider to adjust how dark the watermark should print. Use this pop-up menu to position the watermark. When the density slider is all the way to the right, the watermark will print as dark as it is in the original watermark file. Note the effect of the scaling options: m Centered scales the image the same amount in both the horizontal and vertical directions, then centers it on the page.
m As you draw the image, keep in mind how the watermark scaling options affect the placement of the image when it is printed. Watermark file Printed with Align Top Left option Printed with Centered option Printed with Stretch to Fit option m The printing software determines the placement of the watermark based on where it calculates the upper-left and lower-right corners of the image are.
Selecting a halftoning method Halftoning is a process in which colors or shades of gray are printed by using an arrangement of dots. The Color StyleWriter 2200 creates gradated tones by using either a repeating pattern or a random scattering of dots. The random method generally produces a smoother appearance. The default choice is random scattering. To change the halftoning method, follow these steps: 1 When you are ready to print, choose Print from the File menu. The Print dialog box opens.
Note: Switching between printers may change how much information you can fit on a page. It’s best to choose a printer before you spend much time paginating the document. Drag the document you want to print to a desktop printer icon You can switch to a new default printer by dragging the icon of any document you want to print to the icon of the printer you want to use. (See “Desktop Printing” earlier in this chapter.
Creating, throwing away, and manipulating desktop printer icons To create a desktop printer, select the printer using the Chooser. After you close the Chooser, the icon will appear on your desktop. See “Select the Printer Using the Chooser,” in the section “Switching Between Printers,” earlier in this chapter. You may also do the following with desktop printer icons: m Throw away the icon. Drag the icon to the Trash. (You can create another desktop printer icon for that printer whenever you like.
Printing while you use your computer You can continue to work on your computer while printing on the Color StyleWriter 2200. The feature that gives you this ability is called background printing, and is automatically turned on when you install the Color StyleWriter 2200 software. To turn background printing on or off, follow these steps: 1 Select Chooser from the Apple (K) menu. The Chooser opens. 2 Click the Color SW 2200 icon in the Chooser. Click this icon.
Monitoring and controlling background printing If you are using background printing, you can use the desktop printer features to monitor and control the documents that are waiting to print. To learn how to turn background printing on and off, see “Printing While You Use Your Computer,” earlier in this chapter. To monitor or control a print request, follow these steps: 1 Double-click the desktop printer icon you’re interested in.
m To put a print request on hold, select its title or icon (by clicking it), then click the Hold button. The print request will stay on hold until you select its title again and click the Resume button. You can also put the document that’s currently printing on hold by dragging it to the list of documents waiting to print. m To indicate that a print request is urgent, select its title or icon (by clicking it), then choose Set Print Time from the Printing menu. In the dialog box that opens, click Urgent.
Sharing your printer with other users If your computer is connected to other computers over an AppleTalk network, you can allow other users on the network to print on your Color StyleWriter 2200. The technology that lets you do this is called ColorShare.
2 In the Chooser dialog box, do the following: First, click this icon. (If you don’t see the icon, use the scroll bar and arrows to find it.) 3 Then click Setup. In the Sharing Setup dialog box, make the changes you want. To share your printer, click to place an X in this box. Type a name for your printer here. (To avoid confusion, give it a unique name.) To make your printer available only to people you choose, type a password here.
5 Click OK to close the Sharing Setup dialog box. Sharing works only if background printing is turned on. If it is not turned on, ColorShare turns it on. 6 Close the Chooser (click the close box in the upper-left corner). If the Color StyleWriter 2200 software has been installed on their Macintosh computers, other users connected to the network can now use your Color StyleWriter 2200, as described in the next section.
3 Close the Chooser (click the close box in the upper-left corner). After you close the Chooser, a desktop printer icon for the Color StyleWriter 2200 appears. Anyone who completes these steps can print on the shared Color StyleWriter 2200. When you print a document to a shared StyleWriter, your computer transfers the request to the computer directly connected to the printer. As soon as the transfer is complete, you can no longer monitor the print request using the desktop printer icon on your computer.
3 Using the Battery Attachment This chapter introduces the Color StyleWriter 2200 optional battery attachment and tells you how to attach it to your printer and how to print using the battery. When powered by a fully charged battery, the printer prints about 200 pages. When the battery runs low, you can charge it or replace it with another battery. Connecting the battery attachment To connect the battery attachment to your Color StyleWriter 2200, follow these steps: 1 Turn off the printer.
3 Turn the printer upside-down. 4 Hold the battery attachment upside-down, and align the power connector and the screw with the printer. The screw fits into this opening. The battery attachment’s power connector fits into the printer’s power connector.
5 Fasten the battery attachment to the printer by turning the attachment dial in the locked ( ) direction. Turn the dial until it stops. Make sure the battery attachment fits snugly against the printer, but don’t overtighten the dial. Battery attachment dial Unlocked Locked Note: To unfasten the battery attachment, turn the attachment dial in the unlocked ( ) direction and carefully pull the attachment away from the printer.
6 Insert the battery into the battery attachment. Align the battery contacts with the contacts in the battery attachment as shown, and press until the battery clicks into place. Do not touch the battery contacts on the battery or in the battery attachment. Insert the battery here. Note: To remove the battery, see “Replacing the Battery” later in this chapter. WARNING Do not touch the battery contacts with metal objects such as paper clips or keychains. Doing so can cause burns or start a fire.
8 Attach the Apple System/Peripheral-8 cable. 9 Open the printer cover and turn on the printer. You have finished installing the battery. You must charge the battery before you can use it. Note that when the power adapter is connected, the printer uses the power supplied by the power adapter, not the battery.
Charging the battery Depending on printing conditions, the battery in the Color StyleWriter 2200 needs charging after about 200 pages of printing. When the battery is low, the printer stops printing. To charge the battery, follow these steps: 1 Make sure the battery is installed in the battery attachment. 2 Connect the power adapter to the battery attachment, and plug the adapter into an outlet or a power strip.
Giving the battery a complete charge The battery charge capacity may degrade over time, which means that the printer may print fewer sheets with each charge. In this case, discharge the battery completely, and then give it a complete charge. Make sure you charge the battery fully every time. If you charge the battery only partially, you may reduce the battery’s capacity to be fully charged. To give the battery a complete charge, you must first discharge it completely. Discharging takes up to 10 hours.
Replacing the battery If you notice that the battery attachment is no longer holding a charge as it should, even after you’ve discharged the battery and given it a complete charge, you may need to replace the battery. You may also want to replace the battery so that you can continue to work under battery power if you’re not immediately able to charge the old battery. To replace the battery, follow these steps: 1 Turn the printer off and close the printer cover.
3 Release the battery latch and remove the battery. Battery latch Remove the battery. 4 Replace the battery with the new one. Insert the new battery as shown. Do not touch the battery contacts on the battery or in the battery attachment. Insert the battery here.
WARNING Damaged nickel-metal hydride batteries may leak small amounts of potassium hydroxide. This substance can cause severe burns to the skin and eyes. If you touch a damaged battery, immediately rinse your hands and any other affected areas with water for at least 5 minutes. Do not use soap. 5 Return the printer and battery attachment to its upright position. You have finished replacing the battery. IMPORTANT Nickel-metal hydride batteries contain hazardous materials.
Printing using the battery IMPORTANT When you print using the battery, you must open the printer cover completely so the battery switch turns on. You must also press the power button to turn the printer off before you close the cover, so the ink cartridge can return to its parked position. Open the printer cover completely when you print using the battery. Battery switch ESH REFR GE CHAR Be sure to disconnect the power adapter when you print using the battery.
Battery tips When the battery power is too low to continue printing, you can charge the battery. You can also continue printing if you plug in the power adapter or install a charged battery. Don’t remove the battery in the middle of printing. When you charge the battery, charge it completely (not partially). Don’t charge the battery too often without fully discharging it first, since too much partial charging reduces the battery’s ability to hold a complete charge.
4 Tips on Paper, Quality, Speed, and Cost This chapter explains how to use different materials and printing options to meet your needs. Choosing print materials Here are some tips on when and how to use different print materials. Plain paper Use plain paper for everyday printing. m Print quality may vary depending on the manufacturer of the paper. If you’re not happy with one kind of paper, try a different brand.
Premium coated paper Use premium coated paper for exceptional print quality—for example, for a final draft, a colorful notice, or the master copy of a presentation. Colors appear richer and more vibrant on such paper. m Use only coated paper designed for use with the Color StyleWriter 2200. m One side of the paper is a little whiter than the other and is better for printing. See the package label on the coated paper to determine which side is better, and load that side so that it faces you.
Transparencies Use transparencies when you want to present your document on an overhead projector. m Use only transparencies designed for use with the Color StyleWriter 2200. These special transparencies have a sheet of paper attached to them; leave the paper attached until after printing. m Load the transparencies so that the shiny side faces you and the edge where the paper and the transparencies are attached points downward.
Speed Try these suggestions for faster printing: m Change the Print Quality setting in the Print dialog box. (To display the dialog box, choose Print from the File menu.) Select Normal or Draft. m Also use the following selections in the Color Options dialog box. (To open the Color Options dialog box, click the Color button in the Print dialog box.) Select Pattern. Turn off ColorSync. (Click the check box to remove the X.) m Color printing takes longer than black printing.
5 Maintaining Your Printer It doesn’t take much effort to keep your Color StyleWriter 2200 printer in good working condition. You simply have to replace the ink cartridges or their ink tanks when they run out of ink and clean the printer or print head if you notice a problem. For other service, see the information about service and support that comes with your Color StyleWriter 2200. IMPORTANT Follow all the safety instructions given at the beginning of Chapter 1.
When to change ink tanks 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 test page. (For details, see “Printing the Test Page” in the section “Cleaning the Print Head” later in this chapter.
4 Remove the new ink tank from its packaging. 5 Remove the plastic cap from the ink tank. Pull forward and down on both sides of the cap to remove it. 6 Insert the tank into the cartridge, and push it down so it snaps into place. 7 Close the cartridge access door. Replacing an ink cartridge The ink cartridge contains the print head, the device that takes the ink and sprays it on the paper.
When to replace an ink cartridge Age is the primary factor in determining when a cartridge wears out. If you’ve done a lot of printing with your cartridge and notice a gradual deterioration in print quality, it may be time to install a new ink cartridge. Before you do, try printing the test page in case a clogged nozzle is the problem. (See “Printing the Test Page” in the section “Cleaning the Print Head” later in this chapter.
Once you’ve removed both cartridges from their original packages, always keep one inside the printer and the other in the storage case. Cleaning the print head Occasionally, the nozzles on the print head may become clogged. If you notice problems with the print quality, such as horizontal white lines in your document, you may need to clean the print head. There are three ways to do this: m Press the purge button.
Cleaning the print head as part of a print request To clean the print head, follow these steps: 1 When you are about to print a document, click the Utilities button in the Print dialog box. The Print Utilities dialog box opens. 2 Make your choices in the Utilities dialog box. The Super Clean option uses more ink than the Clean option, so use Super Clean only as a last resort. Then click OK. First, click to place an X here. The Print Utilities dialog box closes, and the Print dialog box reappears.
5 Examine the nozzle test pattern for broken or missing horizontal lines. The nozzle test pattern appears near the bottom of the test page. The test pattern for the color ink cartridge looks like this: A broken line means a nozzle on the print head needs to be cleaned. A missing color means you need to replace an ink tank.
Cleaning the inside of the printer Occasionally you may need to wipe off paper dust or drops of ink inside the printer. Turn the printer off and unplug it. Then open the printer and carefully clean the area shown with a soft, dry cloth. Clean this area. WARNING Don’t use any liquid cleaners inside the printer.
Travel tips If you plan to travel with your Color StyleWriter 2200, follow these tips to safely transport your printer. m Turn off the printer before transporting it to assure that the ink cartridge returns to its parked position. m Remove any paper from the sheet feeder. m Remove the power adapter and the Apple System/Peripheral-8 cable. m Remove the battery from the battery attachment if you will not be using the printer for more than a month.
6 Troubleshooting This chapter provides solutions to some problems that you may encounter while using your Color StyleWriter 2200 printer. As long as you follow the maintenance instructions in Chapter 5, you’re not likely to have any problems with your Color StyleWriter 2200. The most common source of trouble is faulty software installation. To avoid these problems, follow the software installation instructions in Chapter 1.

Otherwise, you may damage delicate mechanical parts. m Don’t shake the ink cartridges or ink tanks, or hold them with the ink opening pointing down. Ink can leak out and cause stains. m Don’t touch the ink opening on an ink tank. m Don’t oil the inside of the printer.
2 Open the Fonts folder (inside the System Folder) on your Macintosh. 3 Drag the following files out of the Fonts folder. (Look for files with exactly these names.
Using the Custom Installer to solve installation problems You can install the printer software without installing the fonts that come with the printer. (The disadvantage is that you won’t be able to use these fonts if you don’t already have them.) 1 Insert the Color StyleWriter 2200 Installation disk into a floppy disk drive. If necessary, open the disk icon. 2 To start the Installer program, double-click its icon. 3 In the Welcome dialog box that appears, click Continue.
6 When you see a message on your screen, follow the directions and insert the next disk. The Installer ejects disks and asks you to insert others. Keep following the instructions on the screen until the installation is complete. 7 When you see a message reporting that installation was successful, click Restart. The Installer restarts your Macintosh.
m You may have indicated the wrong port in the Chooser. Open the Chooser and change the port selection. (Look at the back of the computer to see whether you plugged the printer into the computer’s printer port [[] or modem port [W].) m If you are trying to use a shared printer connected to another Macintosh and the printer name isn’t listed in the Chooser, make sure that the other Macintosh is turned on and connected to the network. Also make sure that the printer is set up to be shared.
If you don’t wish to use desktop printers at all, you can remove the desktop printing software, as described in Appendix E. An X appears over the desktop printer icon. When a desktop printer is not working, it appears with an X over it. m You may have started up the computer using a different startup disk or temporarily turned off all the software extensions. When you restart the computer as usual, the icons will return to normal.
Sometimes the lights on the printer signal a problem. m Both lights are off. To conserve energy, the printer turns itself off if it’s left idle for some time (usually about 5 minutes). If you suspect a problem, press the power button. If the lights remain off, check to make sure the power adapter is plugged in properly and the outlet has power, or that the battery attachment has been connected properly.
Paper is jammed Occasionally a piece of paper may get jammed (stuck) inside the printer during the printing process. To clear a paper jam, follow these steps: 1 Hold down both ends of the paper release panel to free the paper. 2 Gently pull the paper free as shown.
More than one piece of paper passes through the printer at a time Follow these steps: 1 Remove all the paper from the sheet feeder. 2 Turn off the printer. 3 Turn the printer back on. 4 Put the paper back in. Do not force the paper into the sheet feeder. Paper or envelopes feed improperly If paper tears, gets skewed, or comes through the printer crumpled, it may not be entering the printer properly. Try the following: m Make sure you have loaded the paper correctly.
m Take the paper out of the sheet feeder and check it. Make sure none of the sheets is curled, bent, or dog-eared. Make sure the edges of the stack line up evenly. Make sure the left paper guide isn’t too snug or too loose. The stack should lie flat (not bowed). Make sure the paper doesn’t slide down into the printer. Load either envelopes or paper (not both) into the sheet feeder. Make sure you have inserted envelopes correctly.
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: m If the ink cartridge is new, make sure that you removed the orange plastic cap and orange tape from its print head. m Make sure the ink cartridge and the ink tanks are correctly installed. (For instructions, see “Replacing Ink Tanks” and “Replacing an Ink Cartridge” in Chapter 5). m The printer may be out of ink.
There is an error in the printer. Check to make sure the cable is still connected to the printer and the computer. Also, the ink cartridge may not be seated properly. Turn off the printer and open the printer’s cover. Make sure the cartridge is inserted properly, and that the cartridge access door is closed completely. The printer detects an end of paper error. If you are using a valid size of paper, make sure that you indicate the size in the Page Setup dialog box.
m Turn on virtual memory in the Memory control panel. Virtual memory is described in the instructions that came with your computer. (Note: Using virtual memory can sometimes slow down your computer.) m Obtain additional RAM for your computer to solve some of these problems. This can sometimes improve printing speed as well.
Page breaks change unexpectedly Most programs determine where to break pages by evaluating the information you provide in the Page Setup dialog box. Also, different types of printers may space text in slightly different ways.
Everything prints backwards Choose the Print command and check what paper type you’ve selected in the dialog box that opens. If you indicate that you’re printing on back-print film, the printer reverses the image. Watermark problems The wrong watermark printed. If you selected one watermark, but a different one printed, you can fix it by changing the modification date and time of one of the watermark files. To change the modification date, open one of the files, then save it using the Save As command.
The image is too light or too dark If printing looks fuzzy because it’s too light or too dark, try the following: m Check the nozzles in the print head. See “Checking the Print Nozzles” in Chapter 1 for instructions. You may have to replace an ink tank or an ink cartridge. See “Replacing Ink Tanks” and “Replacing an Ink Cartridge” in Chapter 5 for instructions. m Make sure you’ve chosen the correct paper type in the Print dialog box.
The image prints wavy or distorted Make sure that you are using recommended types and weights of paper. If the problem persists, see the information about service and support that comes with the printer. Stains appear on printed pages Stains on the backs or tops of printed pages may mean that ink has spilled inside the printer. Follow the instructions in “Cleaning the Inside of the Printer” in Chapter 5.

Appendix B Using Fonts With the Color StyleWriter 2200 Printer A font is a collection of letters, numbers, and symbols in a distinctive typographic design. Your Macintosh computer and Color StyleWriter 2200 printer come with a variety of fonts that look great both on your monitor and on paper. Fonts come in such a variety of formats that problems can sometimes arise. This appendix provides the information you need to avoid such problems and to solve them if they come up.
TrueType fonts A TrueType font is scalable, describing a typeface without rigidly specifying a size. So it looks good whatever size you choose. TrueType fonts provide sharp text at any size on screen or on paper. You can mix and match TrueType fonts from various font vendors. TrueType fonts store individual text characters as mathematical descriptions of lines and curves, rather than as groups of pixels (a bitmap).
You can also use the Key Caps desk accessory to examine fonts. See the documentation that came with your computer for instructions. Bitmapped fonts Bitmapped fonts consist of “pictures” of a typeface at specific sizes. For example, you might have bitmapped fonts at 10-, 12-, and 18-point sizes installed in your Macintosh computer. For best results you need a separate font file for each size of character you want to use.
PostScript fonts PostScript is a page-description language that defines the characters, symbols, and images that appear on each page of a document. A PostScript font comes as a pair of fonts: an outline font for the printer and a corresponding bitmapped font for displaying type on your screen. No bitmapped font, no menu entry: If your system doesn’t have the bitmapped font, the PostScript font name won’t appear in your font menu. Certain printers are designed specifically to work with PostScript fonts.
How TrueType fonts work with other kinds of fonts Although TrueType fonts offer distinct advantages, your Color StyleWriter 2200 printer can also use other kinds of fonts. TrueType and bitmapped fonts Macintosh computers running System 7 come with both bitmapped (screen) fonts and TrueType fonts installed. This maintains consistency with documents created on Macintosh systems that don’t have TrueType fonts.
Using only TrueType fonts produces a closer match between the appearance of type on the screen and on paper. However, a document you’ve already created with bitmapped fonts will be reformatted with the corresponding TrueType fonts, and line breaks in the document may change.
How the Macintosh looks for fonts Here’s the search order your Macintosh uses to determine which font to display on your screen when you choose a specific size: 1. an installed bitmapped font in that size, if one exists 2. a scaled TrueType font, if no bitmapped font exists 3. an Adobe Type Manager (ATM) version of a PostScript font, if ATM is installed and if no TrueType version exists 4.
Where fonts are stored All fonts for your Color StyleWriter 2200 printer reside in special places within the System Folder. To install fonts, you drag them to the System Folder. Your Macintosh will automatically put them where they belong. Fonts are installed in the Fonts folder within the System Folder. The Fonts folder can contain a total of 128 font suitcases (described in the next section), plus any number of PostScript fonts, up to the available storage capacity of your hard disk.
Suitcases A font suitcase is a special folder for collections of fonts. Suitcases provide a convenient way to organize fonts in the same font family. For example, it’s a good idea to use a single suitcase (called Courier) for all fonts in the Courier font family—all Courier roman fonts as well as fonts with names like Courier Bold and Courier Oblique. Combining suitcases: To merge all the fonts from one suitcase with another, drag one suitcase on top of the other.
Size limits for suitcases: No matter how many fonts you have in a single suitcase, the Fonts folder counts the suitcase as a single unit. There’s no limit to the number of fonts in a single suitcase, but the suitcase cannot be larger than 16 megabytes. Styled fonts Most fonts that come with your Color StyleWriter 2200 printer have defined styles. For example, if you open the Bookman font suitcase, you see files for bold and italic versions of the font.
About style names: Predesigned styled fonts sometimes have names you may not be familiar with. For example, roman refers to a font without styling, or plain. Oblique is similar to italic. Light, demi, and extra are different states of bold. Common questions about fonts Here are some questions that often come up about fonts. What kind of fonts should I buy? Using a font that has both bitmapped and TrueType versions works best.
What does the term Apple classic fonts mean? The Apple classic fonts are the original ten bitmapped fonts that came with the first Macintosh in 1984. These fonts, which all have city names, include Athens, Cairo (a picture font), Chicago, Geneva, London, Los Angeles, Monaco, New York, San Francisco, and Venice. Several of the fonts (Athens, Cairo, London, and San Francisco) came in only one size—18 points. Chicago, Geneva, Monaco, and New York are currently available in TrueType versions.
What is font substitution? Font Substitution, which isn’t available for your Color StyleWriter 2200 printer, is an option in the Page Setup dialog box for certain PostScript printers. When font substitution is turned on, these printers will use their built-in equivalents for three bitmapped fonts (Times for New York, Helvetica for Geneva, and Courier for Monaco). What’s a downloadable font? A downloadable font is a TrueType or PostScript font sent to an “intelligent” printer by your system software.
Font list Between the fonts that come with your Macintosh and those that come with the Color StyleWriter 2200, there are 28 font families (and 64 total styled fonts) available as soon as you install the Color StyleWriter 2200 software.

Appendix C Working With ColorSync The Macintosh does a lot of work to make sure that the colors you see on your display closely match the colors you get on your printers, scanners, and other devices. The software that does this work is called ColorSync. Because ColorSync does its work behind the scenes, you don’t have to know anything about it. But if you’re curious, this appendix explains how ColorSync works and how you can benefit from using it.
About ColorSync ColorSync is a system extension that provides color-conversion capabilities and improves color consistency. ColorSync “translates” the colors used on one device so that they match the colors displayed or printed on another device. ColorSync color conversion is a central part of Macintosh computing, ensuring that application programs, monitors, printers, scanners, and digital cameras use the same scheme for color conversion.
Next, ColorSync converts device-specific colors into standard colors. The CIE color standard describes colors in terms of how they are perceived by the human eye under standardized lighting conditions. (CIE stands for the Commission International de l’Eclairage, the International Commission on Illumination, which founded the standard in 1931.
Appendix D Printing With QuickDraw GX If you installed QuickDraw GX software along with system software version 7.5, your Macintosh computer has some new printing capabilities. This appendix explains how to use your Color StyleWriter 2200 printer with QuickDraw GX.
Telling your computer to use the Color StyleWriter 2200 with QuickDraw GX Make sure the printer and your computer are connected and turned on. 1 Select the Chooser from the Apple (K) menu. 2 In the Chooser dialog box, use the “Connect via” pop-up menu to choose the appropriate type of connection. If the printer is connected directly to your Macintosh, choose Serial. If the printer is connected to another Macintosh on the network and is available as a shared device, choose Servers.
If no port is available and your computer is a PowerBook, see “Special Information for PowerBook Owners” in the section “Telling Your Computer to Use the Color StyleWriter 2200” in Chapter 1. If you chose Servers, the Chooser looks like this: First, click this icon. (If you don’t see the icon, use the scroll bar and arrows to find it.) Third, click the name of the printer you want to use. Finally, to create a desktop printer, click Create. A printer icon appears on your desktop for easy access.
Defining the page setup Most Macintosh programs have a Page Setup command in the File menu. You can use this command to set a variety of options. The most common options are already selected for you, but you can change them if you want to. 1 Choose Page Setup from the File menu. The Page Setup dialog box appears, as shown in the next step. The dialog box you see may not exactly match any of the illustrations in step 2, but it works basically the same way.
In the expanded dialog box you can select a specific printer. To format a document for one of the desktop printers you’ve created, choose the printer from this pop-up menu. To see the basic dialog box, click Fewer Choices. 3 When you’ve made your choices, click Format (or OK in a program that’s not GX-savvy). Your document is now set up for printing. Printing a document To print a document, follow these steps: 1 Open the document you want to print, or select its icon in the Macintosh Finder.
3 Set any options you like. If you’re working in a program that doesn’t take full advantage of QuickDraw GX (is not “GX-savvy”), a Print dialog box similar to the one below appears. Click Best for highest quality, Normal for typical use, or Draft for lower ink consumption. For plain and coated paper, you can use any of these three choices; for other materials, you must use Best quality. Choose Color, Grayscale, or Black & White from this pop-up menu.
In the expanded dialog box you can make additional choices. To display a dialog box that lets you schedule print jobs, click this icon. The paper-matching feature is useful for printers that have multiple paper trays. 4 To see the basic dialog box, click Fewer Choices. Use the Quality pop-up menu to choose Best for highest quality, Normal for typical use, or Draft for lower ink consumption. Note: If the printer is printing on back-print film, glossy paper, or transparencies, choose Best.
3 In the expanded dialog box, click the Quality icon and set any options you like. Use this pop-up menu to identify the type of material you’ve loaded into the printer. (For labels and envelopes, choose Plain.) Choose Color, Grayscale, or Black & White from this pop-up menu. The printer blends the four ink colors in either a random scattering of dots or a repeating pattern of dots. Choose the method you prefer. To see the quality options, click this icon.
Cleaning the print head To clean the print head, follow these steps (or print a test page as explained in “Printing a Test Page” in the section “Cleaning the Print Head” in Chapter 5): 1 When you are about to print a document, click Utilities in the expanded Print dialog box. Second, click to place an X here. First, to see the utilities, click this icon. (If you don’t see the icon, use the scroll bar and arrows to find it.) 2 When you are satisfied with the settings, click Print.
If you choose not to use QuickDraw GX printing If you’re unhappy with the quality of printing on your Color StyleWriter 2200 or if you’re unable to print using QuickDraw GX, try turning off the QuickDraw GX printing software and using the regular QuickDraw printing software instead. You can decide which you prefer. 1 Open a program that’s not GX-savvy. If you’re not sure whether the program is GX-savvy, choose Page Setup from the File menu.
Appendix E Removing the Desktop Printing Software The printing software that is installed in Chapter 1 requires that you have at least one printer icon on your desktop. If you don’t want to have any desktop printer icons, you must install special software, as shown in these steps: Before you begin Find the disks that came with the Color StyleWriter 2200. 1 Insert the StyleWriter 2200 Installation disk into a floppy disk drive. If necessary, open the disk icon.
5 In the Custom Install dialog box, click the PrintMonitor 7.1 checkbox. First, click this checkbox. (An X appears to show it’s selected.) Finally, when you’re ready to begin, click Install. Second, make sure the disk named here is the one on which you want to install the printer software. (If not, click Switch Disk until the correct name appears.) 6 When you see a message on your screen, follow the directions and insert the next disk. The Installer ejects disks and asks you to insert others.
Monitoring and controlling print requests without desktop printers If you don’t have desktop printers, you must use the PrintMonitor program to monitor and control control background printing. 1 While your document is printing, choose PrintMonitor from the Application menu at the far right of the menu bar. PrintMonitor is available only when background printing is on. If you turn off background printing, messages on your screen keep you informed of printing status.
