Printing slows down

Notes:
•
When printing using narrow paper, the printer prints at a reduced speed to prevent damage to the fuser.
•
The printer speed may be reduced when printing for long periods of time, or printing at elevated temperatures.
•
The printer speed may also be reduced when the printed output resolution is set to 1,200 dpi.
Action
