Improving Print Speed
The MultiPASS C50 can produce a full spectrum of up to 16.7 million colours.
When printing with black ink only, the driver only has to process information for
one colour. When printing in colour, however, the MultiPASS C50 has to process
significantly more information and prints more slowly.
To improve colour printing speed, try the following:

Printing From Your PC
Increase the amount of RAM in your computer.
Use a computer with a faster processor.
Use only one application at a time, and turn off any screen savers or other
memory-resident applications.
Limit the number of colours you use.
Use smaller graphics and more white space in your documents.
When printing presentation graphics, use only the MultiPASS C50's primary
colours: black, cyan, magenta, and yellow.
Use Draft mode printing when not producing a final copy.
Use plain paper and set the Media Type to Plain Paper on your PC. This sets
the MultiPASS C50 to make only one pass for each printed line. See the
MultiPASS Desktop Manager User's Guide.
Print drafts in black only, or in Draft colour mode. This both reduces your
colour ink consumption and speeds up printing.
See the MultiPASS Desktop Manager User's Guide for other suggestions for
improving print speed.
