tion.
There is considerable

and actual printing.
There is considerable
delay between the
print start instruction
and actual printing.
Cause
The feed orientation
you selected and the
feed orientation se-
lected in the printer
driver's option setup
might not be the
same.
"Sleep mode" might
be set.
Processing time de-
pends on data vol-
ume. High volume
data, such as graph-
ics-heavy documents,
take longer to process.
Solution
Set the machine's feed orientation and the
printer driver's feed orientation accordingly.
See the printer driver Help.
The machine requires time to warm up if it has
been in "Sleep mode". In [System Settings], un-
der [Timer Settings], select [Auto Off Timer], and
then specify "Sleep mode".
If the data-in indicator is blinking, data has been
received by the printer. Wait for a moment.
Making the following setting on the printer
driver may reduce the computer's workload.
❖ PCL 5e/6
Select the lower value for [Resolution] on
the [Print Quality] tab in the printer proper-
ties dialog box.

tion]. [PostScript Output Option] is located as
