Color StyleWriter 6500: Updated Version of Logic Board Diagnostics

When you swap logic boards on a Color StyleWriter 6500, certain diagnostic programs are required to be run to download parameters, calibrate the print head, and test the printer. One of the programs, the Default Settings program, does not download all the parameters. As a result, when a customer attempts to use the printer on a LocalTalk network, they cannot see the printer in the Chooser.

Make sure you are using the latest version of the default file when downloading and verifying logic board parameters. The latest version can be identified by the modification date on the CSW6500.Def file. The correct file has a date of May 4, 1998. The latest file can be found on the Service Source Companion 2 CD, or it may be downloaded from Service Source Online.
