Slow printing
NOTE: When printing a large number of prints, printing may slow down to prevent the printhead from
overheating.
Make sure the printer is not placed in direct sunlight or is not operating in a high-temperature
environment (higher than 95° C or 95° F).
Close unnecessary software applications.
Make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements. Upgrade your system if
necessary.
White edges on borderless prints
Probable cause
White edges can appear when there are slight misalignments between the printer and paper. Some
software applications are able to "hide" these small misalignments so that the prints look borderless like
they are supposed to.
Corrective action
Use the application's Fit to Page/Fill Page option or resize the picture so it is slightly larger than the paper
size.
