Printing slows down

Notes:
•
When printing using narrow paper, the printer prints at a reduced speed to prevent damage to the fuser.
•
The printer speed may be reduced when printing for long periods of time, or printing at elevated
temperatures.
•
The printer speed may also be reduced when the printed output resolution is set to 1,200 dpi.
Action
Place letter‑ or A4‑size paper in the tray, and then resend the print
job.
