❏ For Mac OS X 10.5 or later, select On from the High Speed Printing dialog. To display the High Speed Printing
dialog, click through the following menus: System Preferences, Print & Fax, your printer (in the Printers list
box), Options & Supplies, and then Driver.

❏ 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 printer mechanism from overheating and being damaged. If this happens, you can
continue to print, but we recommend stopping and leaving the printer idle for at least 30 minutes with the power
on. (The printer does not recover with the power off.) After you restart, the printer will print at normal speed.
❏ Uninstall the printer driver, then reinstall it.
