Problem
Printing is too slow.
Solution
◗ Turn on High Speed in your Advanced settings.
◗ Choose a lower resolution in your printer software for faster printing.
◗ Clear space on your hard drive or run a defragmentation utility.
◗ Don't run too many applications at the same time.
◗ Turn off virtual memory.
◗ Add RAM to your system.
◗ Consider upgrading your system to support a faster connection to the printer:
either IEEE 1394 FireWire or USB 2.0.
Solving Paper Problems
If paper feed or paper jam problems occur frequently, try one or more of the
following solutions:
For roll paper, try adjusting the Paper Suction setting. See page 75 for
•
more information. You can also adjust this setting through your printer
driver.
For heavy or thick media, follow the instructions on page 67 to load the
•
media correctly.
Make sure the paper is not folded, wrinkled, or damp.
•
Make sure the printer's environment falls within the required
•
temperature and humidity range.
Make sure the paper is not too thick or too thin. See pages 55 and
•
166 to 168 for paper specifications.
Make sure no foreign objects are inside the paper path.
•
Make sure the printer isn't located in a brightly lit area. The paper
•
sensors may not operate correctly.
Make sure the
•
Media Type
software are correct.
Make sure the platen gap setting is correct for the paper or media you're
•
printing on. See page 69 for more information.
If you're not using Epson media, use a paper configuration to adjust for
•
the paper's thickness and drying time; see page 75.
