Color StyleWriter 6500: Printing Some Pages Too Light

Apple has discovered an issue where the first pages of a print job may print normally, but latter pages in the same print job will print very light.
Apple has been able to reproduce this issue under the following circumstances:

- printing from an 68040-based system
- printing to the CSW 6500 (v.3.1.1) over AppleTalk
- printing documents larger than two pages
- printing text-only pages
- printing in 'Normal' mode

If you print from a PowerPC-based machine or if you print from an 040-based machine via serial, the problem does not occur. Also, pages with graphics don't seem to be affected - just text-only pages.

Here are some workarounds:
1) print via serial cable
2) print in best mode
3) print in draft mode
4) print from a PowerPC-based machine (AppleTalk or serial)
