Plugging in the printer

First, insert the

power cord here.

Then plug the power cord into a
grounded outlet or power strip.

WARNING

This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. Your
Color StyleWriter 2400 pri nter is equipped with a three-wire grounding
plug—a plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug fits only a
grounded AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet because the outlet is not grounded, contact a
licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded
outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug!

6

Chapter 1

IMPORTANT

The only way to disconnect power completely is to unplug the
power cord. Make sure that at least one end of the power cord is within easy
reach so that you can unplug the printer in a n emergency.

Turning the printer on and off

To turn the printer on (and off), press this button.

This light glows
while the printer is on.

This light blinks.

The first time you turn on the printer, the green power light glows and the
yellow erro r light blinks because you haven’t installed an ink cartridge yet.
(The next section tells you how to install the cartridge.)

To save power, the pri nter turns itself off after sitting unused for about 5
minutes. As long as you leave it plugged into an active power outlet, the
printer turns itself on automatically when you print something.

WARNING

Except in an emergency, never turn the printer off by
unplugging it unless the power light indicates that the power is off. If
the printer is plugged into a power strip, n ever turn off the power strip
unless you’ve already turned the printer off.

Each time you tur n off the printer, or the printer turns itself off, it
automatically moves the ink cartridge to the right, where it caps the
nozzles to keep the ink cartridges from drying out. If you unplug the
printer or discontinue power before turning it off, the printer can’t
position the cartridge in the capped position, the print head may dry out,
and you’ll have to replace the cartridge.

Setting Up Your Printer

Installing th e ink cartridge

The ink cartridge contains the print head, which sprays the ink onto the
paper. Treat it gently so you don’t damage its 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.

Before you start, make sure the printer is turned on. (The green light glows,
and the yellow light flashes.)

Connecting the printer to your Macintosh

Connect the other end of the
cable to either the printer port
or the modem port, which are
labeled with these icons.

Plug one end of the
cable into the printer.
(Both ends of the cable
are the same.)

Some Macintosh computers have a
combined serial port with two icons.

IMPORTANT

The serial cable must connect the printer directly to the computer.
Use only the cable that comes with the printer. Replace the cable only with
another Apple System/Peripheral-8 cable that contains special shielding to
prevent interference with radio and television signals.

12

Chapter 1

If your computer is connected to a network, a network cable may already be
connected to the printer port ([). In that case, use the modem port (W).

Remember which por t you use. Later, you must tell the printer software where
to look for the printer.

Some PowerBook computers that have an internal modem installed cannot
tell that the printer is plugged in. You must change a setting in the PowerBook
Setup or Express Modem control panel. For details, see “Telling Your
Computer to Use the Color StyleWriter 2400” later in this chapter.

Loading paper into the sheet feeder

Internal paper selector

For paper, start with the
selector in the center position.
For envelopes, move the
selector to the right.

The sheet feeder holds up to 100 sheets of 20-pound paper and feeds the
paper automatically into the pri nter. 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 i n the n ext section, you must use U.S. letter-size or A4
paper. To load paper into the sheet feeder, follow these steps:

1 Open the printer cover.
2Adjust the internal paper selector.

What does the paper selector lever do? The lever has three positions (two for
paper, one for envelopes). In the pap er («) positions, the lever lowers the ink
cartridge, bringing it closer for thin materials; in the envelope (E) position,
the lever raises the cartridge to leave room for thick materials. The far-left
position is best for black-and-white text on 20-pound paper; the center
position is best for color printing, for heavy black ink coverage, or for heavier
paper. There’s also a paper-selector lever on the outside of the printer, shown
in step 4. Be sure to adjust both levers to match the material you’re printing
on and the amount of ink you’re using.

3Close the printer cover.

To open the output tray, pull here. Be sure to pull it out all the way.

Slide this guide so it just
touches the edge of the paper.
If the stack of paper bows out
even slightly, the guide is too tight.

Do not stack paper above this line ( ).

Make sure the external paper selector
is next to the « icon.

Extend this paper support.
Make sure the paper extends
above the support (and doesn’t
slide down inside the printer).

Make sure the paper lines up evenly
at this side of the feeder.

If you’re printing on legal-size paper, don’t open the tray.

Chapter 1

Checking the print nozzles

Press the power button.
When the power light

blinks, release the button.

The Color StyleWriter 2400 prints by spraying colored ink onto the paper
through tiny nozzles. Sometimes these small nozzles can get clogged after
sitting unused for a long time. To make sure all the nozzles are working,
follow thes e steps.

1If necessary, turn off the printer.

The green power light should be off.

2Press and hold down the power button until the power light starts to blink.

3 Release the button and wait for the test page to print.

Setting Up Your Printer

4Examine the nozzle test pattern for broken or missing horizontal lines.

Yellow
Magenta

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 (or the black-only cartridge).

Cyan
Black

The nozzle test pattern appears near the bottom of the test page. The test
pattern for the four-color ink cartridge looks like this:

The test pattern for the black-only in k cartridge looks like this:

5If 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.

Installing yo ur printer software

16

Chapter 1

The Color StyleWriter 2400 printer comes with a number of disks that
contain the printer software and an Installer program that copies the software
onto your hard disk. Before you can print your documents, you need to install
the printer software on your Macintosh.

Before you begin

If you have virus-protection software, turn it off. Lock all the
disks by turning each one over and sliding the small, square plastic tab so you
can see through the hole. (T h e disks may already be locked.)

Installation

disk into a floppy disk drive.

If necessary, open the disk icon.

2 To start the Installer program, double-click its icon.
3In the Welcome dialog box that appears, click Continue.

4 In the Installer dialog box, click Install.

Make sure the disk

named here is the

one on which you
want to install the

Color StyleWriter

2400 software.

IMPORTANT

The Installer determines whether you have the correct system

software and enough memory 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. If
the message reports a problem, you can purchase new system software or
memory from an Apple-authorized dealer.

When you’re ready to
begin, click Install.

After a few minutes, the Installer begins to install the printer software. A
status box keeps you informed of progress during installation.

5When you see a message on your screen, follow 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.

6When you see a message reporting that installation was successful, click Restart.

The Installer restarts your Macintosh.

More information about the Installer program

In the procedure just described, the Installer copies all the software you need
to your hard disk. In rare circumstances, you may want to copy only a subset
of the software. In that case, choose Custom Install from the pop-up menu in
the Installer. A list of choices appears. To install something from the list, click
to selec t it, then click the Install button.

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 2400, 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 Exter nal. To check the setting, open the PowerBook, PowerBook
Setup, or Express Modem control panel. (The control panel and the setting
you use depend on which PowerBook you have and which internal modem
you have.) If you have a PowerBook Express Modem, it is best to leave the
serial port setting as Normal or External unless the modem programs you use
require another setting for compatibility reasons.

18

Chapter 1

What’s next?

Even when a PowerBook has two serial ports, if it also has an internal
modem, the modem port (W) may look available but actually be in use. If the
printer port ([) is available, connect the Color StyleWriter 240 0 to it. If the
printer port is unavailable and you must use the modem port, make sure the
modem serial port setting is Normal or External. To check the setting, open
the PowerBook, PowerBook Setup, or Express Modem control panel. (The
control panel and the setting you use depend on which modem and system
software version you have.) If you have an Express Modem, it is best to leave
the serial port setting as Normal or External.

For more information, see the manual or on-screen help that came with your
PowerBook.
