2. With your mouse, click on the printer device and drag the cursor down
to select "HP DeskJet 500C". NOTE: If you're not using a mouse,

9. Click on "OK" (or <Tab> to it, then press <Enter>) ...to begin printing.
NOTE: There may be a delay from the time you click on "OK" until

the processing time it takes for Applause II to prepare the
color data for printing.
(s3B&d1DSetting Up For Black-Only Printing(s0B&d@
In order to switch from color-only (color ink cartridge installed) to
black-only (black ink cartridge installed) printing, you can simply select
"HP DeskJet series..." from the "File", "Print...", "Device:" menu. Make
sure that the black ink cartridge is installed in the printer.
NOTE: This assumes that you selected "HP DeskJet series..." as another
printer in the SETUPAP program (as mentioned above in step #6 of
the "Using the SETUPAP Program section).
(s3B&d1DMiscellaneous Notes(s0B&d@
Colors displayed on screen may not match those printed. We have provided
a custom palette called "HPDJC". In order to use the palette, you'll
need to copy the "HPDJC.PAL" file (contained in your Applause II
directory) to the PALETTES directory. For example;
C:\AP15> copy HPDJC.PAL \AP15\PALETTES ...then press <Enter>.
Refer to your Applause II documentation on how to select and modify
various palettes.
Creating charts or drawings using a palette other than the HPDJC palette
will yield unpredictable results. Use the HPDJC palette to obtain the
closest color matching results. Charts or drawings that were created using
a different palette will need to be edited using the HPDJC palette.
Even with the custom palette installed, you may experience some variation
in printed versus displayed colors. In these cases it is best to create
(then print) a small square at the left edge of the page and adjust the
palette to obtain the color you desire.E
