NOTE: DA500/DA550

The similarity of the DA500 and DA550 printers allows their features and operation

to be documented together. The principle difference in these printers is that the

DA550 is a color printer that uses both a black and color ink cartridge. The DA500

only uses a black ink cartridge.

The photos and illustrations in this document are of the DA550 printer, but repre-

sentative of each printer.
