❏ Close any unnecessary applications.
❏ If you print continuously for an extended period, the printing may be extremely slow. This is to slow down
the printing speed and prevent the product mechanism from overheating and being damaged. If this happens,
you can continue to print, but we recommend stopping and leaving the product idle for at least 30 minutes
with the power on. (The product does not recover with the power off.) After you restart, the product will print
at normal speed.
❏ Uninstall the printer driver, then reinstall it.
