Printing Slows Down Dramatically During Continuous Printing

Printing slows down to prevent the printer mechanism from overheating and being damaged. However, you can
continue printing. To return to normal printing speed, leave the printer idle for at least 30 minutes. Printing speed
does not return to normal if the power is off.

Cannot Start Scanning

❏ When the access control function is enabled for a printer, you need to enter a user ID and password when
scanning. If you do not know the password, contact your system administrator.
❏ When the access control function is enabled, Mac OS might not be able to scan. Contact your system
administrator.
❏ If you are scanning with the ADF, check that the document cover and ADF cover are closed.
❏ Connect the USB cable securely to the printer and the computer. If you are using a USB hub, try to connect the
printer directly to the computer.
❏ If you scan at a high resolution over a network, a communication error may occur. Lower the resolution.
❏ Make sure that the correct printer (scanner) is selected on Epson Scan 2.
