8•24 GC Graphics Card (Apple®)
If you use Apple 8•24 GC graphics card, you may experience undesirable output when printing with an HP DeskWriter 600 Series printer driver. For example, unexpected lines may appear.

For more information, contact Apple Computer, Inc.

If the After Dark screen saver activates while the printer is printing, printing may stop. If you touch the mouse or keyboard, After Dark "checks out" and printing resumes.

This allows After Dark to monitor the computer and not activate the screen saver if the computer is busy (i.e., printing in the background). For more information, contact Berkeley Systems, Inc.

Excel 3.0, 4.0 (Microsoft®)

The "Print Using Color" option is saved and the data can now be copied to, and pasted from, the Clipboard in color. If Microsoft Excel spreadsheets will not display in color, disable DiskLight.
