Problem
Printer suspends print
after every line is printed
Overall printing is slow
from MS-DOS
Overall printing is slow
from Windows
Chapter 7
Cause
If the Data indicator
blinks while the printer
is suspended, then the
printer is slowing its print
speed at the end of each
line to protect the print
head. The print head may
have become too hot.
Smoothing mode may be
enabled.
High quality mode may
be enabled.
The print head may have
become too hot.
The Print Manager may
be turned on.
Print options may be too
complex.
Solution
If you have been printing
for awhile, the print head
may have become too hot.
In this case, the printer
automatically goes into
protection mode and slows
down in order to cool the
print head. You can stop
your print operation and
wait several minutes to allow
the printer to cool. Then start
your print operation again.
Disable Smoothing mode.
Try turning off HQ mode via
the operator panel.
