Printing is too slow

❏ Make sure the paper type selected in the printer driver is appropriate for the type of paper
loaded in the printer.
& See "Selecting the Correct Paper Type" on page 27.
❏ Clear all customized settings and select Text as the Quality Option from your printer driver's
Main window. See the printer driver online help for details.
& See "Accessing the printer driver" on page 13.
❏ Close any unnecessary applications.
❏ If you print continuously for an extended period, the paper may temporarily stop feeding or
the print head may pause for a while. This is to slow down the printing speed and prevent the
printer mechanism from overheating and being damaged. If this happens, you can continue to
print, but we recommend stopping and leaving the printer for about thirty minutes with the
power on. (The printer does not recover with the power off.) After you restart, the printer will
print at normal speed.
❏ This printer checks the print head on a regular basis to keep the print head clean and to ensure
you receive premium print quality. If the print head nozzles are clogged, the printer
automatically cleans the print head. During self-checking, and during self-cleaning operation,
the print speed may decrease.
❏ Uninstall the printer driver, then reinstall it.
& See "Uninstalling the Printer Software" on page 16.
If you try all of the methods above and cannot solve the problem, see the following:
& See "Increasing the Print Speed" on page 144.
